Re: Feature request: sorting a list slice

It would be useful if list.sort() accepted two more optional
parameters, start and stop, so that you can sort a slice in place.

I've just submitted:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1491804&group_id=5470&atid=305470

to the bugtracker, which extends the (start, stop) keyword arguments to
list.reverse() (which I've needed more than once). The patch updates the test
suite, documentation, list object, and sorted() builtin to accept (or
specify) the new arguments.

Any comment/feedback would be appreciated.
