Dear Group, I have a list of tuples, as follows,
list1=[u"('koteeswaram/BHPERSN engaged/NA himself/NA in/NA various/NA philanthropic/NA activities/NA ','class1')", u"('koteeswaram/BHPERSN is/NA a/NA very/NA nice/NA person/NA ','class1')", u"('koteeswaram/BHPERSN came/NA to/NA mumbai/LOC but/NA could/NA not/NA attend/NA the/ARTDEF board/NA meeting/NA ','class1')", u"('the/ARTDEF people/NA of/NA the/ARTDEF company ABCOMP did/NA not/NA vote/NA for/NA koteeswaram/LOC ','class2')", u"('the/ARTDEF director AHT of/NA the/ARTDEF company,/NA koteeswaram/BHPERSN had/NA been/NA advised/NA to/NA take/NA rest/NA for/NA a/NA while/NA ','class2')", u"('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN arrived/NA by/NA his/PRNM3PAS private/NA aircraft/NA in/NA mumbai/LOC ','class2')", u"('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN met/NA the/ARTDEF prime/HPLPERST minister/AHT of/NA india/LOCC over/NA some/NA issues/NA ','class2')", u"('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA set/NA up/NA a/NA plant/NA in/NA uk/LOCC ','class3')", u"('animesh/BHPERSN chauh an/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA launch/NA a/NA new/ABCOMP office/AHT in/NA burdwan/LOC ','class3')", u"('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA work/NA out/NA the/ARTDEF launch/NA of/NA a/NA new/ABCOMP product/NA in/NA india/LOCC ','class3')"] I want to make it like, [('koteeswaram/BHPERSN engaged/NA himself/NA in/NA various/NA philanthropic/NA activities/NA','class1'), ('koteeswaram/BHPERSN is/NA a/NA very/NA nice/NA person/NA ','class1'), ('koteeswaram/BHPERSN came/NA to/NA mumbai/LOC but/NA could/NA not/NA attend/NA the/ARTDEF board/NA meeting/NA','class1'), ('the/ARTDEF people/NA of/NA the/ARTDEF company ABCOMP did/NA not/NA vote/NA for/NA koteeswaram/LOC ','class2'), ('the/ARTDEF director AHT of/NA the/ARTDEF company,/NA koteeswaram/BHPERSN had/NA been/NA advised/NA to/NA take/NA rest/NA for/NA a/NA while/NA ','class2'), ('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN arrived/NA by/NA his/PRNM3PAS private/NA aircraft/NA in/NA mumbai/LOC','class2'), ('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN met/NA the/ARTDEF prime/HPLPERST minister/AHT of/NA india/LOCC over/NA some/NA issues/NA','class2'), ('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA set/NA up/NA a/NA plant/NA in/NA uk/LOCC','class3'), ('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA launch/NA a/NA new/ABCOMP office/AHT in/NA burdwan/LOC','class3'), ('animesh/BHPERSN chauhan/BHPERSN is/NA trying/NA to/NA work/NA out/NA the/ARTDEF launch/NA of/NA a/NA new/ABCOMP product/NA in/NA india/LOCC','class3')] I tried to make it as follows, list2=[] for i in train_sents: a1=unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', i).encode('ascii','ignore') a2=a1.replace('"',"") list2.append(a2) and, for i in list1: a3=i[1:-1] list2.append(a3) but not helping. If any one may kindly suggest how may I approach it? Thanks in Advance, Regards, Subhabrata Banerjee. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
