I have doubt regarding sorting. I have a list that list have another list (eg)
list = [[1234,'name1'],[2234,'name2'],[0432,'name3']]
I want to sort only numeric value having array field.
How I need to do for that.
In Python 2.4:
py> import operator py> seq = [(1234,'name1'),(2234,'name2'),(1432,'name3')] py> seq.sort(key=operator.itemgetter(0)) py> seq [(1234, 'name1'), (1432, 'name3'), (2234, 'name2')]
Note that I've changed your name 'list' to 'seq' since 'list' is shadowing the builtin list function in your code, and I've changed your nested lists to tuples because they look like groups of differently typed objects, not sequences of similarly typed objects. See:
http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general.html#why-are-there-separate-tuple-and-list-data-types
That said, the code I've given will still work if you shadow the builtin list or if you use lists instead of tuples.
