1. [New issue] locale.strxfrm doesn't work
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34188
User paweljasinski has proposed the issue:
"locale.strxfrm for locale other than ascii doesn't work
In the following example, sorted should return the same results
IronPython 2.7.4a1 (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.296 (32-bit)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_COLLATE,"de_CH")
'de_CH'
>>> print sorted([u'a', u'z', u'ä'], cmp=locale.strcoll)
['a', u'\xe4', 'z']
>>> print sorted([u'a', u'z', u'ä'], key=locale.strxfrm)
['a', 'z', u'\xe4']
For now the workaround is to use cmp instead. However cmp is gone in 3.x. In
this case the following can be used as quick workaround:
>>> import functools
>>> print sorted([u'a', u'z', u'ä'], key=functools.cmp_to_key(locale.strcoll))
['a', u'\xe4', 'z']
code inspection reveals:
[Documentation(@"returns a transformed string that can be compared using the
built-in cmp.
Currently returns the string unmodified")]
public static object strxfrm(string @string) {
return @string;
}
