How to find the longst element list of lists? I think, there should be an easier way then this:
s1 = ["q", "e", "d"] s2 = ["a", "b"] s3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] if len(s1) >= len(s2) and len(s1) >= len(s3): sx1=s1 ## s1 ist längster if len(s2) >= len(s3): sx2=s2 sx3=s3 else: sx2=s3 sx3=s2 if len(s2) >= len(s3) and len(s2) >= len(s1): sx1=s2 ## s2 ist längster if len(s3) >= len(s1): sx2=s3 sx3=s1 else: sx2=s1 sx3=s3 if len(s3) >= len(s1) and len(s3) >= len(s2): sx1=s3 ## s3 ist längster if len(s1) >= len(s2): sx2=s1 sx3=s2 else: sx2=s2 sx3=s1 After, the list ist sorted: sx1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] sx2 = ["q", "e", "d"] sx3 = ["a", "b"] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
