@ -19,23 +19,22 @@ The :mod:`functools` module defines the following functions:

|

.. function:: cmp_to_key(func)
|
||||
|
||||
Transform an old-style comparison function to a key-function. Used with
|
||||
tools that accept key functions (such as :func:`sorted`, :func:`min`,
|
||||
:func:`max`, :func:`heapq.nlargest`, :func:`heapq.nsmallest`,
|
||||
:func:`itertools.groupby`).
|
||||
This function is primarily used as a transition tool for programs
|
||||
being converted to Py3.x where comparison functions are no longer
|
||||
supported.

|

A compare function is any callable that accept two arguments, compares
|
||||
them, and returns a negative number for less-than, zero for equality,
|
||||
or a positive number for greater-than. A key function is a callable
|
||||
that accepts one argument and returns another value that indicates
|
||||
the position in the desired collation sequence.
