if x.sort == y.sort:
You're missing the () to make it a function call.
Also list.sort() returns none, it mutates the original list.
You can either
sorted(x) == sorted(y)
or
set(x) == set(y)
Duplicates cause issues in the set() version:
a = [1,2,3,4]
b = a + a
print sorted(a) == sorted(b) # False
print set(a) == set(b) # True
They mean different things, and the OP may want one or the other
depending on how they want to consider duplicates.
