Here's a variation:
from operator import itemgetter
def sortix(seq):
L, B = zip(*sorted(enumerate(seq), key=itemgetter(1)))
return B, L
Your original result is shaped Nx2. zip(*seq) is a quick way to
transpose that to 2xN. The * operator turns each item into an argument
of zip.
Example:
>>> A = [1, -1, 0, 7, 9, 1.3, 2.9]
>>> B, L = sortix(A)
>>> B
(-1, 0, 1, 1.3, 2.9, 7, 9)
>>> L
(1, 2, 0, 5, 6, 3, 4)
If you need lists, you can use map:
>>> B, L = map(list, sortix(A))
>>> B
[-1, 0, 1, 1.3, 2.9, 7, 9]
>>> L
[1, 2, 0, 5, 6, 3, 4]
