I want to put this data into one list so i can sort it by timestamp. I tried itertools chain but that didn't really work.
Thank you for your help :)
I'm very bad at making clear what i want to do so im sorry upfront if this takes some explaning.
If i try a chain i get the value back like this.
I want to display it on the html page like this :
date, name , rating, text (newline)
likes comments
Which would work the way i did it but if i want to sort it by time, it wouldn't work so i tried to think of a way to make it into a sortable list. Which can be displayed. Is that understandable ?
['Eva Simia', 'Peter Alexander', {'scale': 5, 'value': 5}, {'scale': 5, 'value': 5}, 1, 0, 1, 0]
it should look like this:
['Peter Alexander, scale:5, value:5, 1,0]
['Eva Simia, scale:5, value:5, 1,0]
for i in user:
name.append(i['name'])
for i in next_level:
rating_values.append(i['rating'])
for i in comment_values:
comments_count.append(i['count'])
for i in likes_values:
likes_count.append(i['count'])
for s in rating_values:
ratings.append(s['value'])
for s in date:
ratings.append(s['date'])
ab = itertools.chain([name], [rating_values],
[comments_count], [likes_values],
[comment_values], [date])
list(ab)
Updated after clarification:
The problem as I understand it:
You have a dataset that is split into several lists, one list per field.
Every list has the records in the same order. That is, user[x]'s rating value is necessarily rating_values[x].
You need to merge that information into a single list of composite items. You'd use zip() for that:
merged = zip(user, next_level, comment_values, likes_values, rating_values, date)
# merged is now [(user[0], next_level[0], comment_values[0], ...),
# (user[1], next_level[1], comment_values[1], ...),
# ...]
From there, you can simply sort your list using sorted():
result = sorted(merged, key=lambda i: (i[5], i[0]))
The key argument must be a function. It is given each item in the list once, and must return the key that will be used to compare items. Here, we build a short function on the fly, that returns the date and username, effectively telling things will be sorted, first by date and if dates are equal, then by username.
[Past answer about itertools.chain, before the clarification]
ab = list(itertools.chain(
(i['name'] for i in user),
(i['rating'] for i in next_level),
(i['count'] for i in comment_values),
(i['count'] for i in likes_values),
(i['value'] for i in rating_values),
(i['date'] for i in date),
))
The point of using itertools.chain is usually to avoid needless copies and intermediary objects. To do that, you want to pass it iterators.
chain will return an iterator that will iterate through each of the given iterators, one at a time, moving to the next iterator when current stops.
Note every iterator has to be wrapped in parentheses, else python will complain. Do not make it square brackets, at it would cause an intermediary list to be built.
You can join list by simply using +.
l = name + rating_values + comments_count + ...
date, rating_values,likes_values,comment_values,next_level,user = (list(t) for t in zip(*sorted(zip(date, rating_values,likes_values,comment_values,next_level,user))))
I have a multidimensionnal dict, I need to return a specific value.
ConsomRatio={"DAP_Local":[],"MAP11_52":[]}
ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"].append({"Ammonia":"0.229", "Amine":"0.0007"})
ConsomRatio["MAP11_52"].append({"Ammonia":"0.138", "Fuel":"0.003"})
print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"])
The result of the print is:
[{'Ammonia': '0.229', 'Amine': '0.0007'}]
My question is : Is there a way to return the value of "Ammonia" only, in "DAP_Local" ?
Thank you!
You can get to it like this. You're appending your dict to a list, so you must select the correct index in the list where the dict is located. In this case the first element in the list or index 0.
ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"][0]["Ammonia"]
By the way, depending on what you are trying to achieve you might wanna take a look at the other answers for different implementations of multi-dimensional dicts.
The other answers are of course correct, but have you considered using a "dict of dicts"? i.e.:
ConsomRatio={"DAP_Local":{},"MAP11_52":{}}
ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"].update({"Ammonia":"0.229", "Amine":"0.0007"})
ConsomRatio["MAP11_52"].update({"Ammonia":"0.138", "Fuel":"0.003"})
print ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]["Ammonia"]
0.229
since print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]) returns an array of length 1, you need to select the index 0, then key off the 'Ammonia' value as above.
if print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]) returned a dict, then no need to have the [0] and print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]['Amomonia']) would have worked
Why are you putting lists in your dict, anyhow? You can just use dicts inside your main dict.
You can have multidimensional dicts also without the lists, e.g.:
ConsomRatio = {}
ConsomRation["DAP_Local"] = {"Ammonia":"0.229", "Amine":"0.0007"}
ConsomRatio["MAP11_52"] = {"Ammonia":"0.138", "Fuel":"0.003"}
print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]["Ammonia"])
will give the desired result without the extra effort with the list.
You can get even shorter in Python:
ConsomRatio = {
"DAP_Local": {"Ammonia":"0.229", "Amine":"0.0007"},
"MAP11_52" : {"Ammonia":"0.138", "Fuel":"0.003"},
}
print(ConsomRatio["DAP_Local"]["Ammonia"])
To also answer your latest question (in your second comment):
to_produce = 'DAP_Local'
ingredience = 'Ammonia'
print('To produce {to_produce} we need {amount} of {ingredience}'.format(
to_produce=to_produce, ingredience=ingredience,
amount=ConsomRatio[to_produce].get(ingredience, '0.0')))
I hope, that helps!
It gets even better:
for product, ingred_list in ConsomRatio.items():
for iname, ivalue in ingred_list.items():
print('To produce {to_produce} we need {amount} of {ingredience}'
.format(to_produce=product, ingredience=iname,
amount=ivalue))
I have the following tuples:
ReadElement = namedtuple('ReadElement', 'address value size')
LookupElement = namedtuple('LookupElement', ReadElement._fields[0:2] + ('lookups', ReadElement._fields[2]))
and I want to iterate through them as follows:
mytuples = [ReadElement(1,2,3), LookupElement(1,2,3,4)]
for address, value, lookups?, size in mytuples
if lookups is not None:
addLookups(lookups)
print address, value, lookups?, size
def addLookups(*items):
return sum(items)
How could I iterate through similar tuples using the same piece of code?
I think what I am looking for is a Union type of the two named tuples, so that that union type preserves the order of the tuples in the loop.
From laike9m post I can see how I can use the isinstance operator without having to unpack the tuples in the loop however I would like to avoid special casing the data and just go straight through without any if statements.
If these were objects I could do something like mytuples[0].execute() without having to worry about what type they were as long as they were were subclassed from the same parent and had that method implemented.
It seems that my question maybe a variant of the following Why are Super-class and Sub-class reversed? . In the case above I only have two items one subclass and one superclass where they are very similar to each other and therefore could also be made into a single class.
First, your namedtuple definition is wrong, should be:
LookupElement = namedtuple('LookupElement', ReadElement._fields[0:2] + ('lookups', ReadElement._fields[2]))
Second, you don't need to do worry about all that:
>>> for nt in mytuples:
print(nt)
ReadElement(address=1, value=2, size=3)
LookupElement(address=1, value=2, lookups=3, size=4)
I'm going to sleep so maybe I can't answer your futher question. I think the best way is to check whether the field you want exists before using it.
I don't know exactly what you want, here's what I'll do:
mytuples = [ReadElement(1,2,3), LookupElement(1,2,3,4)]
for nt in mytuples
if 'lookups' in nt._fields:
print nt.address, nt.value, nt.lookups, nt.size
else:
print nt.address, nt.value, nt.size
I have the two following lists:
# List of tuples representing the index of resources and their unique properties
# Format of (ID,Name,Prefix)
resource_types=[('0','Group','0'),('1','User','1'),('2','Filter','2'),('3','Agent','3'),('4','Asset','4'),('5','Rule','5'),('6','KBase','6'),('7','Case','7'),('8','Note','8'),('9','Report','9'),('10','ArchivedReport',':'),('11','Scheduled Task',';'),('12','Profile','<'),('13','User Shared Accessible Group','='),('14','User Accessible Group','>'),('15','Database Table Schema','?'),('16','Unassigned Resources Group','#'),('17','File','A'),('18','Snapshot','B'),('19','Data Monitor','C'),('20','Viewer Configuration','D'),('21','Instrument','E'),('22','Dashboard','F'),('23','Destination','G'),('24','Active List','H'),('25','Virtual Root','I'),('26','Vulnerability','J'),('27','Search Group','K'),('28','Pattern','L'),('29','Zone','M'),('30','Asset Range','N'),('31','Asset Category','O'),('32','Partition','P'),('33','Active Channel','Q'),('34','Stage','R'),('35','Customer','S'),('36','Field','T'),('37','Field Set','U'),('38','Scanned Report','V'),('39','Location','W'),('40','Network','X'),('41','Focused Report','Y'),('42','Escalation Level','Z'),('43','Query','['),('44','Report Template ','\\'),('45','Session List',']'),('46','Trend','^'),('47','Package','_'),('48','RESERVED','`'),('49','PROJECT_TEMPLATE','a'),('50','Attachments','b'),('51','Query Viewer','c'),('52','Use Case','d'),('53','Integration Configuration','e'),('54','Integration Command f'),('55','Integration Target','g'),('56','Actor','h'),('57','Category Model','i'),('58','Permission','j')]
# This is a list of resource ID's that we do not want to reference directly, ever.
unwanted_resource_types=[0,1,3,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18,20,21,23,25,27,28,32,35,38,41,47,48,49,50,57,58]
I'm attempting to compare the two in order to build a third list containing the 'Name' of each unique resource type that currently exists in unwanted_resource_types. e.g. The final result list should be:
result = ['Group','User','Agent','ArchivedReport','ScheduledTask','...','...']
I've tried the following that (I thought) should work:
result = []
for res in resource_types:
if res[0] in unwanted_resource_types:
result.append(res[1])
and when that failed to populate result I also tried:
result = []
for res in resource_types:
for type in unwanted_resource_types:
if res[0] == type:
result.append(res[1])
also to no avail. Is there something i'm missing? I believe this would be the right place to perform list comprehension, but that's still in my grey basket of understanding fully (The Python docs are a bit too succinct for me in this case).
I'm also open to completely rethinking this problem, but I do need to retain the list of tuples as it's used elsewhere in the script. Thank you for any assistance you may provide.
Your resource types are using strings, and your unwanted resources are using ints, so you'll need to do some conversion to make it work.
Try this:
result = []
for res in resource_types:
if int(res[0]) in unwanted_resource_types:
result.append(res[1])
or using a list comprehension:
result = [item[1] for item in resource_types if int(item[0]) in unwanted_resource_types]
The numbers in resource_types are numbers contained within strings, whereas the numbers in unwanted_resource_types are plain numbers, so your comparison is failing. This should work:
result = []
for res in resource_types:
if int( res[0] ) in unwanted_resource_types:
result.append(res[1])
The problem is that your triples contain strings and your unwanted resources contain numbers, change the data to
resource_types=[(0,'Group','0'), ...
or use int() to convert the strings to ints before comparison, and it should work. Your result can be computed with a list comprehension as in
result=[rt[1] for rt in resource_types if int(rt[0]) in unwanted_resource_types]
If you change ('0', ...) into (0, ... you can leave out the int() call.
Additionally, you may change the unwanted_resource_types variable into a set, like
unwanted_resource_types=set([0,1,3, ... ])
to improve speed (if speed is an issue, else it's unimportant).
The one-liner:
result = map(lambda x: dict(map(lambda a: (int(a[0]), a[1]), resource_types))[x], unwanted_resource_types)
without any explicit loop does the job.
Ok - you don't want to use this in production code - but it's fun. ;-)
Comment:
The inner dict(map(lambda a: (int(a[0]), a[1]), resource_types)) creates a dictionary from the input data:
{0: 'Group', 1: 'User', 2: 'Filter', 3: 'Agent', ...
The outer map chooses the names from the dictionary.
