addressable supports non-unique indices, in which case it simply picks the first matching object. This would be much more useful if we could set a sort order using a predicate function, so we have some control over what the "first matching object" will actually be.

The raison d'être of this package is to make lists or dicts of things easier to work with, so e.g. we've implemented case-insensitive navigation, suggestions for similar keys on KeyErrors and so on. It might also be nice to output an ascii table of the list's contents when calling list.describe(). https://github.com/bufordtaylor/python-texttable looks like it might do the trick.

It should be possible to use our map and filter interpretations in every situation where you can use Python's regular map and filter functions. This avoids end-users having to muck around with builtin etc. if they've imported some of addressable into the global namespace.
