Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python-naturalsort Version : 1.0.3 Upstream Author : Peter Odding * URL or Web page : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/naturalsort * License : BSD Description : Simple natural order sorting API for Python that just works
The ``natsort.natsort()`` function in the ``naturalsort`` package is a very simple alternative to Python's ``sorted()`` function that implements `natural order sorting`_ in Python. The package is available on PyPI, so getting started is very simple: . $ pip install naturalsort $ python > from natsort import natsort > versions = ['1.8.1-r26', '1.8.1-r30', '2.0-r2', '2.0-r7', '2.0-r11'] > natsort(['my-package-%s' % v for v in versions]) ['my-package-1.8.1-r26', 'my-package-1.8.1-r30', 'my-package-2.0-r2', 'my-package-2.0-r7', 'my-package-2.0-r11'] . The main use case that this package was originally created for is sorting of pathnames with versions numbers embedded in them. This is why the sorting key defined by the ``naturalsort`` package ignores filename extensions (not doing so can give unexpected results). -- ,''`. : :' : Cyril Bouthors `. `' Debian.org `-
