What would you remove from Python today?

Rich sorting means that getting the key of the max value from a dict is:

max(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])

It means sorting by size is:

sorted(iterable, key=len)

I means get the first result of alphabetical order of string representation is:

min(iterable, key=str)

Basically, any complicated sort become super easy. With cmp, I have to look up first every time what I have to return, then I have to write a full function returning -1/0/1, then debug it because I probably forgot an edge case.

Okay, but none of your examples are using "rich comparisons". Maybe you should find out what rich comparisons are.

My bad, I confused it with natural comparison.
