In a recent thread, http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-September/361512.html, a couple of very useful and enlightening itertools examples were given and was wondering if my problem also can be solved in an elegant way by itertools.
I have a bunch of tuples with varying lengths and would like to have all of them the length of the maximal and pad with None's. So something like a = ( 1, 2, 3 ) b = ( 10, 20 ) c = ( 'x', 'y', 'z', 'e', 'f' ) should turn into a = ( 1, 2, 3, None, None ) b = ( 10, 20, None, None, None ) c = ( 'x', 'y', 'z', 'e', 'f' ) Of course with some len( ) calls and loops this can be solved but something tells me there is a simple itertools-like solution. Any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
