Python - Most efficient way to compare # of words sequenced in "right" order across two strings/lists

Hi experts, I was wondering what the most computationally efficient Python way of cracking this problem would be. Say you have two strings (or lists from splitting those strings--doesn't matter), "this is the right string" vs. "this is right the string." We're assuming that the first string is always right, and a score will be assigne...

How to restore the original order of xsd:elements in xsd:sequence wrappers when websphere is upgraded?

So, there's a project around these parts that's pretty old. It's using Java 1.4 and XFire to produce code-first web services (I know, I know, best practices...). Anyways, the heads have recently decided everyone needs Websphere 7 now! Upgrading to Websphere 7 changed the WSDL significantly. For example, before, if this was the order ...
