Hey guys,
I am sorry if this is not the right list to post some questions. I have a simple question please and would appreciate some answers as I am new to Python. I have 2 D array: test = [[A,1],[B,2],[A,3][B,4]] I want to arrang this array in different arrays so each one will have what is attached to. For example I want the output: A =[1,3] and B=[2,4] Thanks,
Bill

Did you try anything before asking ? this is a pretty simple problem.

test = [['A',1],['B',2],['A',3], ['B',4]]

arranged ={} # dictionary containing the arranged arrays

for name, value in test: # you better be sure all arrays contain only 2 elements
   if name in arranged:
       arranged[name].append(value)
   else:
       arranged[name] = [value]

print arranged
out: {'A': [1, 3], 'B': [2, 4]}
