@ -22,16 +22,15 @@ The :mod:`functools` module defines the following functions:
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.
