[New-bugs-announce] [issue27295] heaps library does not have support for max heap

[James Lu]

New submission from James Lu:

Both max heaps and min heaps have uses in algorithms. Some algorithms require both. Why doesn't the heapq library support max heaps (not including the private _heapify_max() method)?
