If the discussion is wrapped up, I'm ready to commit the patch:
www.python.org/sf/823292
Summary:
. Adds keyword arguments: cmp, key, reverse.
. Stable for any combination of arguments (including reverse).
. If key is not specified, then no wrapper is applied and nothing
is changed (performance is unchanged).
. If cmp and key are specified, the wrapper is removed and the
original key is passed to the cmp function (the wrapper is not
visible to the user).
. Has unittests and docs. Passes the full test suite and repeated
runs show stable refcounts.
