TypeError: 'cmp' is an invalid keyword argument for sort()

Hello there,

I followed your instructions but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

svg_files.sort(cmp=lambda a, b: a.name.lower() > b.name.lower)
TypeError: 'cmp' is an invalid keyword argument for sort()

Could you help me?

Hi, it is a while I don't use and mainatin this library, and it is quite likely it is not compatible with modern python. I believe the cmp argument has been removed from list sort() method in favour of key, some background here https://docs.python.org/3/howto/sorting.html#the-old-way-using-the-cmp-parameter
