how to compare two strings?
|
|
Is there any built-in function in Python for comparing two strings
alphabetically? Something suitable for passing as the optional
comparison function for the list "sort" method. I could code up
something like
def scmp(a,b):
if a<b: return -1
if b<a: return 1
return 0
but it's pretty ugly to need to do that. I've looked in the docs but
don't see any obvious counterpart to perl's lozenge (<=>) operator.
Is there one?
Thanks.
