I'm currently using a function pasted in below. This allows me to sum a column (index) in a list of lists.
So if mylist = [[1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 4], [2, 3, 4], [2, 4, 5]] group_results(mylist,[0],1) Returns: [(1, 5), (2, 7)] What I would like to do is allow a tuple/list of index values, rather than a single index value to be summed up, so you could say group_results(mylist,[0],[1,2]) would return [(1, 5,7), (2, 7,9)] but I'm struggling to do so, any thoughts? Cheers from itertools import groupby as gb from operator import itemgetter as ig def group_results(table,keys,value): res = [] nkey = ig(*keys) value = ig(value) for k, group in gb(sorted(table,key=ig(*keys)),nkey): res.append((k,sum(value(row) for row in group))) return res -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
