Yes, sorted() is new in python 2.4 .You could use a very lightly
tested pure-python partial replacement:

def sorted(lst, **kwargs):
    l2 = lst[:]
    if kwargs.has_key('key'):
        f = kwargs['key']
        l2.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(f(a), f(b)))
        return l2
    l2.sort()
    return l2

And from your other email:

Sorry, I only go one way. It should be transparent how to do it backwards.
