In Python I have a list of objects, and I can sort them by attributes a or b using
obj_list = sorted(obj_list, key=lambda x:x.a)
or
obj_list = sorted(obj_list, key=lambda x:x.b)
The sort selected (a or b or many other options) depends on user input, so I'd like to be able to have a single sorting statement and pass it the sort key – something like this:
def sortfunc(attribute):
return lambda x:attribute
I know that won't work, but is there a way to do this?
