I was wondering if there were any neat tools (like for instance, something from itertools) that would help me write the following function more elegantly. The return value should, of course, be the complete $k$- partite graph $K_{n_1, n_2, \dots, n_k}$:
def completeGraph (*ns): ''' Returns the complete graph $K_{n_1, n_2, \dots, n_k}$ when passed the sequence \code {n_1, n_2, \dots, n_k}. ''' if len (ns) == 1: return completeGraph ( * ([1] * ns[0]) ) n = sum (ns) vertices = range (n) partition_indices = [sum (ns[:i]) for i in range (len (ns))] partite_sets = [vertices[partition_indices[i]:partition_indices[i+1]] \ for i in range (len (partition_indices) - 1)] partite_sets.append (vertices[partition_indices [-1]:] ) edges = [] for i in range (len (partite_sets)): for j in range (i + 1, len (partite_sets)): edges.extend ([ (u, v) for u in partite_sets [i] for v in \ partite_sets [j] ]) return graph.Graph (vertices = vertices, edges = edges) Many thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
