Message10272

Java 8 added a sort method to java.util.List (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/List.html#sort-java.util.Comparator-), which takes one arg. Meanwhile JavaProxyList defines list_sort, which takes the standard Python args for sorting a list.

I'm surprised that our version does not override. Perhaps related to http://bugs.jython.org/issue2391?

Easy to reproduce on Jython running on Java 8:

$ dist/bin/jython
Jython 2.7.1 (default:7ebdc6c80d55+, Sep 21 2015, 18:28:51)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.8.0_45

>>> from java.util import ArrayList
>>> x = ArrayList([1, 0])
>>> x.sort()
Traceback (most recent call last):
