I'm surprised that no one has talked about using ord in python (It Returns the Unicode code point for a string) and comparing the sum
ord
>>> sum(map(ord, 'stressed')) == sum(map(ord, 'desserts')) True
It even performs better than sorting
>>> timeit.timeit("sorted('stressed') == sorted('desserts')") 1.3272779149992857
>>> timeit.timeit("sum(map(ord, 'stressed')) == sum(map(ord, 'desserts'))") 1.2404647049988853
It performs better but it's wrong. Comparing sums can give you false positives.
>>> sum(map(ord, 'false positive')) 1438 >>> sum(map(ord, 'farce positivo')) 1438 >>>
