Handling Ties To Get Top N elements in a list in python

[AnushaC]

Hi,

I want to handle ties while getting top N elements in a list in python and I want include duplicates also if it matches the top value

For example

[1,2,2,4,5,5,6,10] I have a list like this

temp = np.partition(-test, 3)
>>> result = -temp[:3]
>>> result
array([ 6, 10, 5]) gives me top 3 values which 10,6,5

but actually top 3 values in the list are 10,6,5,5

Thanks,
Anusha
