Sorry Kent, I should have put it in the original message...
This is the way I call the sorted function:
# resultSet looks like: [[("DN", {"":["", ...], ...})], ...]
resultSetSortedByCn = sorted(resultSet, key=lambda x:(x[0][1]["sn"],
x[0][1]["givenName"]))
resultSetSortedByOu = sorted(resultSet, key=lambda x:(x[0][1]["ou"],
x[0][1]["sn"], x[0][1]["givenName"]))
I have to use it like this for obvious reasons (sort by org-unit, surname
and then name). Therefore Rich's suggestion:
print sorted(words, key=lambda o: locale.strxfrm(o[0]))
can't work 'cause strxfrm's argument must be a string, not a tuple...
What do you think?

The key argument of sorted() and the like takes a function object, so
you could do something like the following:
def keyfunc(value):
keyVal = value[0] #Or whatever lookups are needed
return locale.strxfrm(keyVal)
then you can call sorted with:
print sorted(words, key=keyfunc)
You could also do the same with a lambda:
print sorted(words, key=lambda o: locale.strxfrm(o[0]))
Hope that helps

Hi,
I know about the use of locale module:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "hr_HR.UTF8")
print sorted(words, key=locale.strxfrm)
but I have specific and complicated data structure (list of lists
containing
strings, tuples and dictionaries) due to LDAP search result data.
So I use the 'key' option to get to the neaded attributes, and can't use
it
for the locale setting. How can I sort this monster list by attribute
values
inside it, and still get the correct sorting order?
The key= parameter can be any function. What are you using now? Just
add the call to locale.strxfrm() to your key function. If you are
currently using operator.itemgetter or operator.attrgetter you will
have to change to explicit attribute access.
