Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lape...@henki.fr> added the comment: Can you not use functools.cmp_to_key() for this?
Here's an example: >>> import bisect, functools >>> l = [('f', 5), ('d', 3), ('c', 2), ('b', 1), ('a', 0)] >>> def cmp(a, b): ... if a > b: return -1 ... if a < b: return 1 ... return 0 ... >>> bisect.bisect(l, ('e', 4), key=functools.cmp_to_key(cmp)) 1 >>> l [('f', 5), ('d', 3), ('c', 2), ('b', 1), ('a', 0)] >>> bisect.insort(l, ('e', 4), key=functools.cmp_to_key(cmp)) >>> l [('f', 5), ('e', 4), ('d', 3), ('c', 2), ('b', 1), ('a', 0)] ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue4356> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
