Ok. Do you see any non-cmp functions beynd these "locale" and case_insensitive? :) I can't work out a good set of predefined functions. All those string, date, numeric comparisons - they are just cmp and nothing more. Maybe, you already found the most essential ones.
I think so :)
Of course, it would be easy to add further ones, when we find some more interesting candidates.
But of course :)
BTW, are all "locale" comparison functions case insensitive? Unlike most other people, I like case sensitive comparisons.
What do you mean? locale.strcoll? I beleive it IS case sensitive. import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") print locale.strcoll("aB", "Ab") print locale.strcoll("Ab", "aB") Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
