good effort to > *look*, and even though you were joking, I don't appreciate being told > not to. As far as I recall from Math Analysis, which I studied two months ago, you can't sort complex numbers. It makes no sense. The reason being (reading from my book), it's not possible to define an order that preserves the properties of arithmetical operations on complex numbers. So you can't order them, and you can't compare them. -- Adriano Varoli Piazza The Inside Out: http://moranar.com.ar MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 4410132 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

ou'll still want to sort complex numbers lexicographically. It'll still have no meaning whatsoever, so you might as well leave the list unsorted. You might think you sorted something. 100? 200? years of maths say you didn't. -- Adriano Varoli Piazza The Inside Out: http://moranar.com.ar MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 4410132 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
