Is there any canned iterator adaptor that will
transform:
in = [1,2,3....]
into:
out = [(1,2,3,4), (5,6,7,8),...]
That is, each time next() is called, a tuple of the next N items is
returned.
An option, might be better since it handles infinite list correctly:
>>> lst = [1, 4, 2, 5, 7, 3, 2, 5, 7, 3, 2, 6, 3, 2, 6, 8, 4, 2]
>>> d = 4
>>> for x in itertools.groupby(enumerate(lst), lambda x: x[0] // d):
... print(list(x[1]))
...
[(0, 1), (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 5)]
[(4, 7), (5, 3), (6, 2), (7, 5)]
[(8, 7), (9, 3), (10, 2), (11, 6)]
[(12, 3), (13, 2), (14, 6), (15, 8)]
[(16, 4), (17, 2)]
>>> [list(x[1]) for x in itertools.groupby(enumerate(lst), lambda x:
x[0] // d)]
[[(0, 1), (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 5)], [(4, 7), (5, 3), (6, 2), (7, 5)],
[(8, 7), (9, 3), (10, 2), (11, 6)], [(12, 3), (13, 2), (14, 6), (15,
8)], [(16, 4), (17, 2)]]
