JavaOne Talk: Python Word Sort

See this post about why this code is being shown. See this post for the Java version to compare against.

class PyWordSort(object):
    def __init__(self, fileName):
        print "init " + fileName
        self.dataFile = open(fileName)
        self.words = []
    def sortedWords(self):
        if len(self.words) == 0:
            for line in self.dataFile:
                for word in line.split():
                    self.words.append(word)
            self.words.sort(lambda w,w1: cmp(w.lower(), w1.lower()))
        return self.words

    Can't resist... the Scala version:

    case class WordSort(filename: String) {
    import scala.io._

    lazy val sortedWords =
    (for {
    line <- Source.fromFile(filename).getLines.toList
    word <- line.trim.split(" ")
    } yield word.trim).sort(_ < _)
    }
