Re: [Python-ideas] suggestion about the sort() function of the list instance

It sorts the list in place. Can you use sorted(item_list)? -Ryan Birmingham On 26 February 2017 at 22:07, qhlonline <qhlonline@163.com> wrote:

Hi, all I have a suggestion that, the sort() member method of the list instance, should return the 'self' as the result of list.sort() call. Now list.sort() returns nothing, so that I can NOT write code like this:

res = {item: func(item) for item in item_list.sort()}

It feels bad.
