instances of user-defined classes are hashable by default; they all
compare unequal, and their hash value is their :func:`id`.
key function
A key function or collation function is a callable that returns a value
used for sorting or ordering. For example, :func:`locale.strxfrm` is
used to produce a sort key that is aware of locale specific sort
conventions.
A number of tools in Python accept key functions to control how elements
are ordered or grouped. They include :func:`min`, :func:`max`,
:func:`sorted`, :meth:`list.sort`, :func:`heapq.nsmallest`,
:func:`heapq.nlargest`, and :func:`itertools.groupby`.
There are several ways to create a key function. For example. the
:meth:`str.lower` method can serve as a key function for case insensitive
sorts. Alternatively, an ad-hoc key function can be built from a
:keyword:`lambda` expression such as ``lambda r: (r[0], r[2])``. Also,
the :mod:`operator` module provides three key function constuctors:
:func:`~operator.attrgetter`, :func:`~operator.itemgetter`, and
:func:`~operator.methodcaller`. See the :ref:`Sorting HOW TO` for
examples of how to create and use key functions.
