  40 pycollate - Collation algorithms for Python
  41 -------------------------------------------
  42
  43 pycollate is an interface to various collation algorithms for Python.
  44
  45 Supported backends:
  46 - icu - Based on the IBM ICU toolkit and Jim Fulton's zope.ucol.
  47 - uca - Native Python UCA implementation, based on James Tauber's.
  48 - syslocale - Native OS collation routines.
  49
  50 The different backends have varying features and behaviors; which one
  51 is best depends on your goals. A specific backend can be used, or the
  52 default one (usually ICU or UCA) can also be used.
  53
  54 pycollate also provides tools to perform word-wise and numeric sorts.
  55
  56 pycollate, as with all Unicode collation tools, is a work in progress.
  57
  58 Example
  59 -------
  60 import collate
  61 strings = file("contents.txt").read().decode("utf-8").splitlines()
  62 strings.sort(key=collate.key)
  63 # Equivalently but slower,
  64 strings.sort(cmp=collate.cmp)
