Changing the output a bit

Question

Question is:

voting_borda:

(list of list of str) -> tuple of (str, list of int)

The parameter is a list of 4-element lists that rep

Answer 1

The index thing (NDP_INDEX etc.) is really unnecessary and un-pythonic. Just use the string, and if you need to sort it according to something, use lists of tuples.

 vv = [ ('republican',3), ('democrat',9), ('libertarian',73), ('green',-2) ]
 vsort = sorted(vv,key=lambda x:x[1],reverse=True)
 print(list(party for party, value in vsort))

You can do something similar to get your answer. Hate to do the entire assignment for you...
