I mean Python's analog of sort [-k x.y] table.txt from GNU Coreutils.
>> What do you refer when you say "sorting a file"?
Sorting a file with multi-line plain text. Optionally, text consisting of
several columns separated by a specific character.
>> What does "key" act upon? Strings representing the lines in the file?
This is a sort rule argument similar to that of the existing in-memory
sort()/sorted() method.
>> For allow_disk_use=False, what's the difference between opening the
file, reading the lines, using sort() and writing the contents?
If False, there is no difference.
