UNIX-style sort in Python?

For a while at least I have to work in Windows rather than UNIX, which
is more familiar. I'm trying to do with Python some of the things that
I've done for years in shell, in particular, sort. The shell sort is
pretty easy to use:
% sort -t, +2 +5 imputfilename <return>

where -t is the field separator, in this case a comma, , and +2 and
+4 are the fields to be sorted, in that order. Actually, the fields are
zero-based, so the first and third fields would be the sorted.

So, is there a module or function already available that does this?

But, have you tried msys/mingw ? I haven't done a lot with it, but it is nice,

I prefer gvim directly over the vim via msys shell (I probably don't have
the latter configured quite right).


I've used mingw in the past, never tried msys. As for editors, GVIM
does work just fine on Windows, that's the least of the problems...

If the C programs have UNIX system calls such as fork(), alarm(), etc.., we should call it UNIX programs, not traditional C programs?

I've been programming for a while, but most of my experience is on unix. How do C compilers work on operating systems that weren't written in C? And that have no libc? Compiling C on unix seems so easy. Everything in the code either goes right to machine code, or links to a C library (often libc) or links to the kernel. Are there libc equivalents on non-unix OSes? -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client:...

Hi, I have a question that deals with the standard c library VS (Unix) system calls.

I was told that Unix API can only be called using C++, ATL and MFC. However, I was also told that C# can do that through Pinvoke to a DLL that interfaces with the Unix API. Can someone direct me to some good article to read up on this? Basically, I'm looking a possible project that has a Window client but needs to get information from Unix side sometime by calling some API in Unix. Many thanks in advance, Alpha
