Hi,
I need to perform some horrible functions in python I need to do, using sort in a similar way that Excel can.
With a dictionary like: -
>>> d
-
{8: (99, 99), 9: [(55, 67), (77, 66), (67, 88)], 4: [(45, 78), (56, 78), (99, 78)], 5: (67, 77)}
-
I want to sort the entire dictionary based on the last values in each line. First for [-1][0] and then[-1][0].
So sorted descending I would like the output to look like: -
>>> d
-
{8: (99, 99), 4: [(45, 78), (56, 78), (99, 78)], 9: [(55, 67), (77, 66), (67, 88)], 5: (67, 77)}
-
Many thanks

Got a response for this from the python mailing list. Just thought I should share it with you all here.
import operator
cmplast = lambda x, y: cmp(x[-1], y[-1])
sorted(d.items( ), key=operator.it emgetter(1), cmp=cmplast, reverse=True)
or
cmplast1 = lambda x, y: cmp(x[1][-1], y[1][-1])
sorted(d.items( ), cmp=cmplast1, reverse=True)
[(8, [(99, 99)]), (4, [(45, 78), (56, 78), (99, 78)]), (9, [(55, 67),
(77, 66), (67, 88)]), (5, [(67, 77)])]
Thanks Sanchez!

Hi,
With awk, I can do something like

That is, a was not there but allocated and initialized to
zero upon reference.
With Python, I got

Hello...
I have set up a dictionary into whose values I am putting a list. I
loop around and around filling my list each time with new values, then
dumping this list into the dictionary. Or so I thought...
It would appear that what I am dumping into the dictionary value is
only a pointer to the original list, so after all my iterations all I
have is a dictionary whose every value is equal to that of the list the
final time I looped...

Hello there
Iam stuck trying to sort the dictionary object in classic asp. Am trying to sort by the values of the dictionary object and not using keys, and once sorted by values i need the keys according to the sorted values. The new order of keys would then be used to fetch records from DB. Hope am clear. if i can do something like that without using multidimensional arrays I'd be glad. Could anyone here please shed some light..???

I'm trying to sort a vector<complex<double and can't figure it
out. I recognize the problem is that there isn't a default operator<
for complex data types. I have written my own operator and can use
it, but std::sort doesn't seem to find it. I have copied a very
simple example below. Everything compiles just fine when the line
with std::sort function is commented out, but with that line included
a whole slew of errors are given like:

Hi all,
I'm trying to do something that should be really easy, but I can't think of an
obvious way to do it. I have a dictionary whose value is a "value type" (as
opposed to a reference type -- in this case, a Boolean):

I want to set all of the existing entries in the dictionary to False. The

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:
