What is the best way to compare the *contents* of two different lists regardless of their respective order? The lists will have the same number of items, and be of the same type.
E.g. a trivial example (my lists will be larger), a=[1, 2, 3] b=[2, 3, 1] should yield true if a==b I suppose I could sort them and then compare them. I.e., sorted(a)==sorted(b) I am wondering if there is a more efficient/preferred way to do so. Thanks, Esmail -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
