Sorting List

[DeaD_EyE]

Example with TypeHints, NamedTuple and closures (nested functions):

from typing import Generator, Iterable, NamedTuple


class ScoreResult(NamedTuple):
    player: str
    score: int


def sort_score(sequence: list[str]) -> list[ScoreResult]:
    def get_elements() -> Generator[ScoreResult, None, None]:
        for element in sequence:
            key, value = element.rsplit(":", maxsplit=1)
            yield ScoreResult(key.strip(), int(value))

    def sorter(item: ScoreResult) -> int:
        return item.score

    return sorted(get_elements(), key=sorter)


mylist = [
    "Finley : 10",
    "Evie : 0",
    "P1 : 0",
    "P2 : 5",
    "P1 : 0",
    "P2 : 5",
    "Finley : 15",
    "Evie : 5",
]


sorted_score = sort_score(mylist)
print(sorted_score)
