Thanks to everyone for your help and quick responses!
   
  Has anyone heard of the "bundle method?"  Some of you have already said you 
didn't.  I wonder why it's included as part of my code/instructions.  I'm 
trying to accomplish what I 'think' they want with the other questions I've 
posed here.
   
  Here's my instruction:
  ================
  #SUB-TASK 1: Fix the above to print/write only the keys with >0% missing, 
sorted alphabetically
#by the key. (No need to use the "bundle method" for that).  But ALSO append the
#same information to outfile2, sorted by worst offender. (Use bundle for that).
========================
   
  Just curious, but in this link (' 
http://xahlee.org/perl-python/sort_list.html ') you mentioned, what does the 
"re" part mean?  At first I thought it was the name of the list or 'return' but 
that's included later.
   
   
  ***************
   
  def myComp (x,y):
    import re
    def getNum(str): return float(re.findall(r'\d+',str)[0])
    return cmp(getNum(x),getNum(y))

li.sort(myComp)
print li # returns ['web7-s.jpg', 'my23i.jpg', 'fris88large.jpg', 'my283.jpg']

  Thanks,
  Sara

Just the first part of the discussion there.
