I have a list of items and a "rule" for ordering them.
Unfortunately, the rule is not complete so it won't define the correct
order for any two items in that list.
In other words, if I pick two random items from the list I may or may
not have a rule that dictates the order of those two items. T
How about:
list.sort(key=lambda x: x[3])

ly. Might be a big difference if I have a lot of sources though as I
bet the overhead in doing a sort of N items gets higher than doing a
manipulation of a heap to place an item in the right spot, but with 4-5

Ok, after working through the various sources and solutions, here's what
I finally ended up
Thanks, that looks like Mike's solution except that it uses the
built-in heapq module.
While this one contains less code than Mike's solution it seems to lack
the ability to control the comparison operation, which means it won't
work in my case. I need to both be able to sort on an arbitrary field
Ok, that one looks more sleak than what I came up with.
Couple of things I learn from your solution, please correct me if I
misunderstood something:
1. list containing other lists will sort itself based on first element
on lists inside ?
2. sort(), pop() is not costly operations
Other than that

Ok, when re-reading my post it seems that I'm saying that Python has no

even though the problems I got with 2.4.2 is real, I suspect there's
something in Komodo that is the problem since I can run all my python
programs with 2.4.2
While Microsoft and other big software vendors might have a roadmap
that ties you very tightly in with their budget, and also changes that
roadmap from time to time which breaks your current software, a lot of
open source projects have no roadmap at all.
This means that a .x.y.2 upgrade might very
