[Tutor] iterating over a sequence question..
say, if I have a list l = [1,2,3,5]
and another tuple t = ('r', 'g', 'b')
Suppose I iterate over list l, and t at the same time, if I use the zip
function as in zip(l,t) , I will not be able to cover elements 3 and 5 in list l
>>> l = [1,2,3,5]
>>> t = ('r', 'g', 'b')
>>> for i in zip(l,t):
... print i
...
(1, 'r')
(2, 'g')
(3, 'b')
is there an elegant way in python to print all the elements in l, while looping
over list t, if len(t) != len(l) as to get the output:
(1, 'r')
(2, 'g')
(3, 'b')
(5, 'r')
I could iterate over l only and reset the index to point to the first element
of t, in case the elements in t are "exhausted" . Any pythonic way to iterate
over a sequence, while iterating over another shorter sequence continously
(granted that the lengths of the two lists are different)?

Check out the itertools module. I don't have the ability to test this
right now, but try something like:
import itertools
lst = [1,2,3,5]
t = ('r', 'g', 'b')
itertools.izip(lst, itertools.cycle(t))

I don;t know how pythonic it is, but I'd do it thus:
>>> a = (1, 2, 3, 4)
>>> b = ('a', 'b', 'c')
>>> n = len(a)/len(b) + 1
>>> t = map(None,a,b*n)[:len(a)]
>>> t
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c'), (4, 'a')]
>>> for x,y in t:
... print x,y
...
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 a
I suspect you could use a list comp too but map seemed easier.
And of course you could compress it into less lines:
>>> for x,y in map(None,a,b*(len(a)/len(b)+1))[:len(a)]:
... print x,y

The first thing that occurred to me was just to use a modulus to index
into the second, shorter list.
>>> l = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> t = ('r','g','b')
>>> for i in range(len(l)):
print (l[i], t[i%len(t)])
which results in
(1, 'r')
(2, 'g')
(3, 'b')
(4, 'r')
(5, 'g')
not exactly Pythonic either, and you are assuming that l is longer than
t (it is easy to account for opposite case as well.)
a more expanded version that accounts for either list being the longer
one, or both being the same length, would be:
>>> if len(t) > len(l): x = len(t)
else: x = len(l)
>>> print [(l[i%len(l)],t[i%len(t)]) for i in range(x)]
[(1, 'r'), (2, 'g'), (3, 'b'), (4, 'r'), (5, 'g')]

That was the first thing that occured to me too but when
I tried it I couldn't get it to work...
> >>> l = [1,2,3,4,5]
> >>> t = ('r','g','b')
> >>> for i in range(len(l)):
>print (l[i], t[i%len(t)])
because I was trying t[len(t) % i]
and various variations, I never thought of reversing the arguments!"
I knew a modulus trick existed but couldn't figure it out this
morning.
I hadn't had coffee yet, at least that's my excuse! :-)

I love this [Tutor] list. There are always new tricks that change the

I keep a script file with "notes" on the things I learn here and I refer
to these notes frequently. Here are the notes I made for this thread:

They are in different modules therefore you need to import the other module. But importing the module just makes the module name available inside your module. To make the contents of the module available you must reference the module. Modules are first class objects in Python they are not simply files (although they are implemented as simple files!) You might think of the module as being like a class that you can't instantiate if you like. Alternarively you can use the other form of import: from Module import Name In your cae that would be from AddrBookEntry import AddrBookEntry Now when you use AddrBookentry it refers to the named object inside the AddrBookEntry module.
