python实现忽略大小写对字符串列表排序的方法

本文实例讲述了python实现忽略大小写对字符串列表排序的方法，是非常实用的技巧。分享给大家供大家参考。具体分析如下：

先来看看如下代码：

string = '''
the stirng
Has many
line In
THE fIle
3water net
'''
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string   #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print '*'*50

def case_insensitive_sort(liststring):
  listtemp = [(x.lower(),x) for x in liststring]#将字符串列表，生成元组，（忽略大小写的字符串，字符串）
  listtemp.sort()#对元组排序，因为元组为：（忽略大小写的字符串，字符串），就是按忽略大小写的字符串排序

  return [x[1] for x in listtemp]#排序完成后，返回原字符串的列表

print case_insensitive_sort(list_of_string)#调用起来，测试一下

结果：

['the', 'stirng', 'Has', 'many', 'line', 'In', 'THE', 'fIle', '3water', 'net']
**************************************************
['fIle', 'Has', 'In', '3water', 'line', 'many', 'net', 'stirng', 'THE', 'the']

另一种方法：

使用内建函数
sorted(iterable[,cmp[, key[,reverse]]])

该函数的官方描述文档如下：

Return a new sorted list from the items in iterable.
key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element:key=str.lower. The default value isNone.

使用参数key=str.lower

完整代码如下：

string = '''
the stirng
Has many
line In
THE fIle
3water net
'''
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string   #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print '*'*50

def case_insensitive_sort2(liststring):
  return sorted(liststring,key = str.lower)

print case_insensitive_sort2(list_of_string)#调用起来，测试一下

效果一样~

方法三：

使用list的sort方法：

该方法的官方描述文档如下：

The sort() method takes optional arguments for controlling the comparisons.
cmp specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than the second argument: cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()). The default value is None.
key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element: key=str.lower. The default value is None.
reverse is a boolean value. If set to True, then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.

具体代码如下：

string = '''
the stirng
Has many
line In
THE fIle
3water net
'''
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string   #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print '*'*50

def case_insensitive_sort3(liststring):
  liststring.sort(cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()))

case_insensitive_sort3(list_of_string)
print list_of_string

但这次调用的时候就有区别了。
