Ouch, apparently it was too good to be true. :(

As regards that sort() function, I made an attempt in this MR:

https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/libpyzy/-/merge_requests/1

But then it really FTBFS:

Error: near line 21: unrecognized token: "\"
Error: near line 22: unrecognized token: "\"

(and tens of thousands of similar messages...)

It should be noted, though, that I get those error messages also by 
simply commenting the sort() function, so they seem to be caused by code 
running after that function.

As a side note I can mention that it also FTBFS for me due to this commit:

https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/libpyzy/-/commit/b1d8ffe7
