Hi,
I'm not in the mailing list.
By Googling, I stepped into this an old post: (Thu Feb 14 20:40:08 CET 2002)
of Jeff Shannon: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pyt...ry/128438.html
<<<
def SortOnItem(myli st, index):
templist = [ (line[index], line) for line in mylist ]
templist.sort()
return [ line[1:] for line in templist ]
What this does is build a separate list containing a tuple of the
element that you want to sort on, and the entire line, sorts that
list (by the first element, of course), and then strips that first
element off ..
>>>
It seems to me that the tuples aren't sorted only by the first element but,
I suppose, other elements are also used if needed to discriminate.
In some cases I got some exceptions when an element of the tuple, other than
the first, didn't admit comparison.
In these cases I had to use an ad hoc comparison function.

It's the "decorate/sort/undecorate" pattern. You may also google for
"schwarzian transform"

Yes. When compared, tuples first compare on the first element, then on
the second etc...

than the first, didn't admit comparison.

Did you try the sorted() function ? Used with operator.itemge tter as the
'key' argument, it may do the trick. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble sorting lists. I suspect this might have
something to do with locale settings and/or character

Consider the following example, text containing norwegian special

I have a list of tupples. Each tupple has 3 items. The first item is
an integer. I'd like to sort the list(of tupples), based on the first
element of the tupple. I thought about stringifying the tupples, then sorting
those, but thought there must be a better way. any idea's?

I have a large list of two element tuples. I want two separate
lists: One list with the first element of every tuple, and the
second list with the second element of every tuple.
Each tuple contains a datetime object followed by an integer.
Here is a small sample of the original list:
((datetime.datetime(2005, 7, 13, 16, 0, 54), 315),
(datetime.datetime(2005, 7, 13, 16, 6, 12), 313),

Hi everyone. If I have a list of tuples, and each tuple is in the form:
(year, text) as in ('1995', 'This is a citation.')
How can I sort the list so that they are in chronological order based on
the year? Is there a better way to do this than making a list of tuples?
(So far I have a text file and on each line is a citation. I use an RE
to search for the year, then put this year and the entire citation in a
tuple, and add this tuple...

While working with lists of tuples is probably very common, none of my
five Python books or a Google search tell me how to refer to specific items
in each tuple. I find references to sorting a list of tuples, but not
extracting tuples based on their content.
In my case, I have a list of 9 tuples. Each tuple has 30 items. The first
two items are 3-character strings, the remaining 28 itmes are floats.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
