Hello
I wrote a function that, given a list of numbers, finds clusters of
values by proximity and returns a reduced list containing the centers of
these clusters. However, I find it rather unclear. I would appreciate
any comments on how pythonic my function is and suggestions to improve
its readability.
Just throwing this idea in without really thinking about it...
Would itertools.groupby work?
It takes a sorted collection and groups the items found based on a key
function. If the key function deemed two items identical if they were
within distance X of each other then groupby might help.
The itertools functions are generally space efficient and
therefore good for large volumes of data.
Just a thought.
