Hi everyone, I've been trying to figure out a simple algorithm on how to combine a list of parts that have 1D locations that overlap into a non- overlapping list. For example, here would be my input:
part name location a 5-9 b 7-10 c 3-6 d 15-20 e 18-23 And here is what I need for an output: part name location c.a.b 3-10 d.e 15-23 I've tried various methods, which all fail. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thank you very much! Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
