I have a list of tuples. l = [((30,50),(70)), ((50,20),(20))]
for i in range(10): k = ((i+30,i+50),(i+70))#suppose creating new tuple in each iteration using some random value and in sert it into list. flag=True for i, v in enumerate(l): if v >= k: l.insert(i,k) flag = False break if flag: l.append(k) This code will give a list of tuples sorted in asc order. I need to change this code to sort this list by k[0][0] ascending and k[0][1] descending. What are the modifications needed in this code. I dont want to user sort() method of list. i need to implement l.sort(key=lambda x:(x[0][0], -x[1][0])) in another way .I want to know what the modification needed in the 'if' check to sort this list of tuples in k[0][0] ascending and k[0][1] descending. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
