Hi Everyone,
I have a simple list reconstruction problem, but I don't really know
how to do it.
I have a list that looks like this:
l=[ ("A", "a", 1), ("A", "a", 2), ("A", "a", 3), ("A", "b", 1), ("A",
"b", 2), ("B", "a", 1), ("B", "b", 1)]
What I want to do is to reorganize it in groups, first by the middle
element of the tuple, and then by the first element. I'd like the
output look like this:
out=[
[ #group by first element "A"
[("A", "a", 1), ("A", "a", 2), ("A", "a", 3)], #group by
second element "a"
[ ("A", "b", 1), ("A", "b", 2)], #group by second element
"b"
],
[ #group by first element "B"
[("B", "a", 1)],
[("B", "b", 1)]
]
]
All the solutions I came up with are difficult to read and even harder
to go back and change, and I just feel are too complicated for such a
simple problem. I am wondering if anyone here has some insight.
If there is a 'functional' way to do this, it would be even greater.
Thanks,
Geoffrey
