key function
|
||||
A key function or collation function is a callable that returns a value
|
||||
used for sorting or ordering. For example, :func:`locale.strxfrm` is
|
||||
used to produce a sort key that is aware of locale specific sort
|
||||
conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of tools in Python accept key functions to control how elements
|
||||
are ordered or grouped. They include :func:`min`, :func:`max`,
|
||||
:func:`sorted`, :meth:`list.sort`, :func:`heapq.nsmallest`,
|
||||
:func:`heapq.nlargest`, and :func:`itertools.groupby`.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to create a key function. For example. the
|
||||
:meth:`str.lower` method can serve as a key function for case insensitive
|
||||
sorts. Alternatively, an ad-hoc key function can be built from a
|
||||
:keyword:`lambda` expression such as ``lambda r: (r[0], r[2])``. Also,
|
||||
the :mod:`operator` module provides three key function constuctors:
|
||||
:func:`~operator.attrgetter`, :func:`~operator.itemgetter`, and
|
||||
:func:`~operator.methodcaller`. See the :ref:`sortinghowto` for
|
||||
examples of how to create and use key functions.
