Hey, I just invented a cute ;-) two-liner using list comprehensions:
# alist = list above
tmp, dk = [], {}
[(x.startswith('VLAN') and (dk.setdefault(x,[]) or tmp.append(x))) or
(not x.startswith('VLAN') and dk[tmp[-1]].append(x)) for x in alist
if x != 'Interface']
No need to use a nuke like itertools to kill a fly. ;-)
