Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Chris AtLee (catlee) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: functools.compose to chain functions together Initial Comment: The motivation for this patch was to be able to chain together operator.itemgetter objects so that I could sort a list of items that have the form ((a,b), c) by the 'a' or 'b' part of the item. Sorting by 'b' can be accomplished with: l.sort(key=compose(itemgetter(1), itemgetter(0))) compose(itemgetter(1), itemgetter(0)) is equivalent to def c(v): return itemgetter(1)(itemgetter(0)(v)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1660179&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
