I'll see your perlish line noise, and raise you this obfuscapython: :)
data = """\
2 1 2 3 4
7 7 8 9 10
5 1 3 5 7 9
2 6 8 10""".split('\n') # similar to file.readlines(), but easier to paste
into news post
import operator, itertools
item = operator.itemgetter
b = dict( (k,sum(map(lambda g:g[1:],grps),[]))
for (k,grps) in itertools.groupby( sorted(
map(str.split,data) ), item(0) ) )
for item in sorted(b.items()):
print "%s -> %s" % item
prints:
2 -> ['1', '2', '3', '4', '6', '8', '10']
5 -> ['1', '3', '5', '7', '9']
7 -> ['7', '8', '9', '10']
