<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-functools" title="functools: Higher-order functions and operations on callable objects."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">functools</span></tt></a> module is for higher-order functions: functions that act on
or return other functions. In general, any callable object can be treated as a
function for the purposes of this module.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-functools" title="functools: Higher-order functions and operations on callable objects."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">functools</span></tt></a> module defines the following functions:</p>

<tt class="descclassname">functools.</tt><tt class="descname">cmp_to_key</tt><big>(</big><em>func</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#functools.cmp_to_key" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Transform an old-style comparison function to a key function.  Used with
tools that accept key functions (such as <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#sorted" title="sorted"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">sorted()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#min" title="min"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">min()</span></tt></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#max" title="max"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">max()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="heapq.html#heapq.nlargest" title="heapq.nlargest"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">heapq.nlargest()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="heapq.html#heapq.nsmallest" title="heapq.nsmallest"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">heapq.nsmallest()</span></tt></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="itertools.html#itertools.groupby" title="itertools.groupby"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">itertools.groupby()</span></tt></a>).  This function is primarily used as a transition
tool for programs being converted to Python 3 where comparison functions are
no longer supported.</p>
<p>A comparison 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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nb">sorted</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">iterable</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">key</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">cmp_to_key</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">locale</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">strcoll</span><span class="p">))</span>  <span class="c"># locale-aware sort order</span>

<dd><p>Given a class defining one or more rich comparison ordering methods, this
class decorator supplies the rest.  This simplifies the effort involved
in specifying all of the possible rich comparison operations:</p>
<p>The class must define one of <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__lt__" title="object.__lt__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__lt__()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__le__" title="object.__le__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__le__()</span></tt></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__gt__" title="object.__gt__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__gt__()</span></tt></a>, or <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__ge__" title="object.__ge__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__ge__()</span></tt></a>.
In addition, the class should supply an <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__eq__" title="object.__eq__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__eq__()</span></tt></a> method.</p>
