Can I import sorted using from future in Jython?

Question

I am stuck using the older version (2.2.1) of Jython on the machines I am working on, but I need the sorted method. I already import generators from future, but

from __future__ import sorted

returns SyntaxError: future feature sorted is not defined. Is there a module I can import that has it?

`2.2.1`? Jeez. Spend time on upgrading Jython instead of hacking with an old version. — Blender, Mar 24 '12 at 21:00
FYI, this is what can be imported from future: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3792223/235698 — Mark Tolonen, Mar 24 '12 at 22:32

If you're stuck with an old version of jython, maybe you should use .sort() instead?

>>> a = [ 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9 ]
>>> a.sort()
>>> a
[1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 9]

You could even define your own sorted to replace the missing one:

>>> def my_sorted(a):
...     a = list(a)
...     a.sort()
...     return a
... 
>>> b = [3,1,4,1,5,9]
>>> my_sorted(b)
[1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 9]
>>> b
[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9]
