I read in the following thread that the "cmp" method is not needed for sorting and that "key" is egnough : http://bytes.com/topic/python/answer...rison-function
but if you need to compare program version, how do you do this with only "key" method ? -
versions = ["3.5", "1.0", "3.1.3", "1.2.0",
-
"15.15421.21.42.63.1.0.3.54"]
-
ordered = sorted(versions, key=???)
-
Thanks.

One way is to use functools.cmp_t o_key: - from functools import cmp_to_key
-
-
def c(a,b):
-
a1 = [int(item) for item in a.split(".")]
-
b1 = [int(item) for item in b.split(".")]
-
for i in range(min(len(a1), len(b1))):
-
j = cmp(a1[i], b1[i])
-
if j:
-
return j
-
return cmp(a,b)
-
-
versions = ["3.5", "1.0", "3.1.3", "1.2.0", "15.15421.21.42.63.1.0.3.54"]
-
-
versions2 = sorted(versions, key=cmp_to_key(c))
-
-
print versions2
Excellent!
That is just what I need.

How do I pass some function a generic comparison

since this code got parameter declarations in two places,
it's obviously not generic.

Hello,
I've come across the following comparison function used as the 4th

int cmp(const void *px, const void *py)
{
const double *x = px, *y = py;

Hi,
I've been wrestling with a problem for some time that ought to be fairly simple, but turns out to be very difficult for me to solve. Maybe someone here knows the answer.
What I try to do is sort the records in a plain-text index file based on certain columns. The index file consists of records and fields within the records. The individual fields are separated by semicolons, the records by newlines. The index file is loaded into memory...

Good afternoon,
I need some advice on the following:

and m_path stores the path, eg: C:\folder1
I want to sort this vector according to different criterion, such as

Does Python 3 have no way anymore to sort with a comparison function?
Both .sort() and sorted() seem to accept only 'key' and 'reverse' arguments,
the 'cmp' argument seems to be gone. Can that be?
