this makes the set type hashable.

class Set(set):
__hash__ = lambda self: id(self)

s = Set()
s.add(1)
s.add(2)
s.add(1)

print s
set([1, 2])

d = {}
d[s] = 'voila'

print d
{Set([1,2]):'voila'}

print d[s]
'voila'

although it's not what you've asked about. it's intereting to make set
hashable using __hash__.

of course it is broken as long as it uses it's instance id.
i added this to notify that unhashable can become hashable
implementing __hash__ inside the class. which probably set to None by
default.

any modules having a function to partition a list by predicate provided?

2010-04-19 Thread knifenomad
i know it's not very hard to get that solution.
just by implementing simple function like below.

  def partition(target, predicate):
"""
split a list into two partitions with a predicate
provided.
any better ideas? :)
"""
true = []
false= []
for item in target:
if predicates(item):
true.append(item)
else:
false.append(item)
return true, false

but i wonder if there's another way to do this with standard libraries
or .. built-ins.
if it's not, i'd like the list objects to have partition method like
string module has.

true, false = [1,2,3,4].partition(lambda x: x >1)

print true, false
[2,3,4]   [1]
