This is my first post to Python dev, so I figured I should introduce myself. My name's Steven Bethard and I'm a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado at Boulder working primarily in the areas of natural language processing and machine learning. During my undergrad at the University of Arizona, I worked as a teaching assistant teaching Java for 2 1/2 years, though now that I'm at CU Boulder I pretty much only work in Python. I started getting active on the Python list about 6 months ago, and I've been watching python-dev for the last few months. For Python 2.5, I'd like to add a keyword argument 'key' to min and max like we have now for list.sort and sorted. . . . I've implemented a patch that provides this functionality, but there are a few concerns about how it works.
Guido says yes. So, load the patch to SF and assign to me for review, testing, and documentation.
Raymond
