The subject refers to the list sort method given here 
http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list.  I believe that the 
"*," bit is simply a typo, given that the docs also state "sort() 
accepts two arguments that can only be passed by keyword".  Am I correct?

-- 
My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask 
what you can do for our language.
