List has been updated.
I thought you were an EBCDIC kind of girl. ASCII is way too common. At least ROT13 it before your sort!
I'm already set to use UTF-8.
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
It is either python or pandas.
Looks like you are good for two.

Still waiting to apply for battery interest list for eu. (Hope you consider Turkey as a EU country after all these)
I insist on only using Etaoin Shrdlu.
Can we discuss this a bit? What is the plan for the discount codes? I think the idea was to have more than one discount code but less than a unique code per buyer.
With one discount code, people can purchase more than they signed up for, which leaves those who don’t order the first day running the risk of getting an “out of stock” message. One code per buyer is a logistical nightmare, one code per light is a data entry nightmare. Now that we are getting close to buy time, having a plan for this is important.
PS, Tom, congratulations.

Oh, yeah, I was talking about shell commands, not python functions. “ls | LANG=C sort” versus “ls | LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sort” , which will sort in asciibetical order or language-specific alphabetical order. Asciibetical is dramatically faster, when sorting large amounts of data, and I prefer it in general. So I have LANG=C most of the time except when I specifically want something else.
Not that this has anything to do with flashlights, but still. It weirds me out a little when upper and lower case get mixed together while sorting.
same alphabet
Hello,
If possbile, could I add one more for OrangePeel (1275) for a total of 2.
Thanks much!
Swapping places of a pair of cells in 2S1P configuration? Please be advised that this will make absolutely no difference at all. Both cells in a simple serial bank will at all times draw the same current and discharge the same capacity. If they don’t match, swapping their position will not help at all.
Analyzing and pairing-by-capacity every once in a while IS arguably useful, though.
For a 4S2P battery bank, methodically swapping cells between the two holders might have a theoretical advantage. Monitoring, comparing and logging their final voltage might still give better results. I would mostly ignore that because that sort of light will have a dedicated set of batteries and receive comparatively low hours. Just recharging 4 at a time in, say, Nitecore i4, would betray a failing cell in time.
Please add me to the list, for (1) of the BLF Q8 Premium Edition SRK Type Monster Flashlight!
I am so excited that this really coming together nicely!
Thank you for your hard work on this project.
(I am already on the list, for the battery deal put together for this)
And
988 cabfrank 2nd? is now 988 cabfrank
1076 cabfrank 2nd is now 1076 wilwok 2nd
Keisari ah thanks, but the resting voltag of the two cells in the L6 are never exactly the same, so I feel better giving them a swapped position each charging cycle 
list updated
Well M4DM4X suggested an emaillist for all to register with BLF username, banggood emailaddress. Then compare that to the lists and Banggood orders, then sending what is ordered max. then deleting the record only made for this purpose.
A lot of work and asking all to go to an online form and give email did not seem ideal to say it mildly, IMHO
The list is open, all who want more can simply ask and by the looks of it also do so
There is NO NEED to buy more then one has asked for, simply ask for more to keep it clean 
I think it could be smart to have a couple of codes, bringing the price to $40 / $40,01 / $39,99 / $40.02 / $39.98 and so on, each with a limit on how often it can be used.
so say 1500 Q8 needed, 7 codes, 220 orders on 1 code max, $39,97-$40.03 price range, each code given to 200 people (20 groups per code) so 20 buffer per code (nobody has asked to be put on the list for 21 times so this buffer should suffice)
Martin is looking into this now.
Could you clarify that? Why would anyone need 1 cent price difference?
Because it seems to me the easiest way to get several limited use codes
If we limit the use of 1 code for $40 and it is used, BG needs to make a new one, delaying the ordering process
Now all can order when it gets available
But indeed, I will ask Marin if 7 different codes to bring it down to $40 can be made maybe, that would be easier.
Following along from Toms holsters I received one from an Ebay seller in England with free shipping to Australia for $12.95 Aussie dollars.
Inside the holster itself it had what I’m guessing strengthening gussets sewn along the back and from the back to the sides. These appear to be elastic but aren’t.
The holster itself is almost to large.
There was also a brass drain hole in the base. The depth of the holster was just under four inches.
In summary the quality seems top notch and as long as you can put up with a fit that is not to neat you can’t go far to wrong for the price.
put me on the list for 1
Thanks very much MR Scot I seen new list my name wasn’t on I got confused
