Interestingly, the key argument is the solution to this problem:
[(0, 10), (1, 9), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (7, 3), (8, 2), (9, 1)]arr = zip(range(10), range(10,0,-1)) arr[(9, 1), (8, 2), (7, 3), (6, 4), (5, 5), (4, 6), (3, 7), (2, 8), (1, 9), (0, 10)]arr.sort(key=lambda x: x[1]) arr
Basically, key takes a function which, given a list element, returns the value
you actually want to sort by.
This absolutely rocks!
Okay, I hope the default version of Python in Mac OS 10.4 will be 2.4... Or else I'll have to move my lazy arse and install it by hand. Meh.
