python sort list of tuple

Question

I am trying to sorting a list of tuple. for example, If

>>>recommendations = [(\'Gloria Pritchett\', 2), (\'Manny Delgado\', 1), (\'Cameron Tucker\',          


        

Answer 1

My variation on the sorted theme. I like using itemgetter:

>>> 
>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> name = itemgetter(0)
>>> score = itemgetter(1)
>>> recommendations = [('Gloria Pritchett', 2), ('Manny Delgado', 1), ('Cameron Tucker', 1), ('Luke Dunphy', 3)]
>>> print '\n'.join(map(name, sorted(recommendations, key = score, reverse = True)))
Luke Dunphy
Gloria Pritchett
Manny Delgado
Cameron Tucker
>>>
