Hi all, let's see if there is a more "pythonic" way of doing what I'm trying to do. I have a lot of strings with numbers like this one:
string = "-1 1.3 100.136 1 2.6 100.726 1 3.9 101.464 -1 5.2 102.105" I need to pass the numbers to a function, but three at a time, until the string ends. The strings are of variable length, but always a multiple of three. That's what I did: num = string.split() for triple in zip(num[::3], num[1::3], num[2::3]): func(*triple) it works and I like slices, but I was wondering if there was another way of doing the same thing, maybe reading the numbers in groups of arbitrary length n... any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
