Dear Abby, Any idea why sorted and list.sort behave differently in the following example? (specifically, why x is not sorted in the end?)
Thanks, R. ------------8<--------------------8<-------- >>> x = ['one','two','three']; x.append(x) >>> sorted(x, key=len) ['one', 'two', ['one', 'two', 'three', [...]], 'three'] >>> x.sort(key=len); x [[...], 'one', 'two', 'three'] ------------8<--------------------8<--------
