Python add/set attributes to list (Python)

2015-09-29T16:28:46-07:00

Python recipe 579103 by webby1111 (attributes, class, dictionary, list, subclass). Revision 3.

Python Attribute List

Add/set attributes to python lists.

A google search for "add attributes to python lists" yields no good stackoverflow answer, hence the need for this.

Useful for machine learning stuff where you need labeled feature vectors.

This technique can be easily adapted for other built-ins (e.g. int).

The Problem

a = [1, 2, 4, 8]
a.x = "Hey!" # AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'x'

The Solution

a = L(1, 2, 4, 8)
a.x = "Hey!"
print a       # [1, 2, 4, 8]
print a.x     # "Hey!"
print len(a)  # 4

# You can also do these:
a = L( 1, 2, 4, 8 , x="Hey!" )                 # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( 1, 2, 4, 8 )( x="Hey!" )                # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( [1, 2, 4, 8] , x="Hey!" )               # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( {1, 2, 4, 8} , x="Hey!" )               # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( [2 ** b for b in range(4)] , x="Hey!" ) # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( (2 ** b for b in range(4)) , x="Hey!" ) # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( 2 ** b for b in range(4) )( x="Hey!" )  # [1, 2, 4, 8]
a = L( 2 )                                     # [2]

Fixed Lengh List (Python)

2014-01-24T15:27:25-08:00

Python recipe 578813 by Hiro (length, list). Revision 2.

In some applications, it's advantageous to be able to define a fixed length list.

The class provides all features as python internal type: list

The main focus of fixed length list is only keep certain number of items. "overflow" items will be discarded.

An analogue of enumerate for nested lists. (Python)

2012-12-11T16:59:14-08:00

Python recipe 578376 by John Crichton (enumerate, index, iterator, list). Revision 6.

A generator function which enables traversal and modification of deeply nested lists. Together with the supplied helper functions it could be useful when working with data stored in deeply nested lists, particularly when the level of nesting precludes a recursive approach.

List comparison, difference and more using set & frozenset (Python)

2012-11-01T10:30:58-07:00

Python recipe 578310 by Scott S-Allen (compare, contain, difference, lambda, list, remove, set, union).

Python has a powerful suite of tools for comparing lists by way of sets and frozensets. Here are a few examples and conveniences that many newcomers, even a few seasoned developers, are unaware.

Find Multiple Elements In a List (Python)

2011-11-05T23:40:41-07:00

Python recipe 577943 by Alexander James Wallar (enumerate, find, list, search, search_list).

This algorithm searches for more than one element in a list. The input is a list that you want to search through and a list of elements that you want to search for. The output is a multidimensional list with the positions of the elements you are searching for in the search list in the order that you listed them.

Geocoding Lists via Google Maps (Python)

2012-05-11T05:06:27-07:00

Python recipe 578126 by Mano Bastardo (batch, coordinates, geocode, geocoding, google, google_maps, lat, latitude, list, list_comprehension, lng, longitude, map, web). Revision 2.

A simple script written as an experiment in geocoding addresses in a database. A list of addresses in the form of "100 Any Street, Anytown, CA, 10010" is passed to a Google Maps URL, and the latitude/longitude coordinates are extracted from the returned XML.

XML methods are not used in this script, but simple string searches instead.

METACLASS AND DEEPCOPY (Python)

2012-02-26T15:43:01-08:00

Python recipe 578053 by thonpy (deepcopy, equal, list, metaclass, sign).

I would like to solve this excercise: Traditionally object-oriented programming provides two different modes for cloning an instance or a structured data type: shallow and deep copy. The former has the effect to clone exclusively the external shell and not its content originating a quite fastidious aliasing effect. The latter, instead, copies the shell and its content recursively creating two completely separate copies of the instance.

As you know, Python's programs suffer of the aliasing effect when you copy an instance of a class or a structured type (e.g., a list) with the = operator. As showed in the following example:

l=[0,1,2] mylist=l mylist[2] = ’B’ mylist [1, 2, ’B’] l [1, 2, ’B’

The exercise consists of defining a meta-class which implements the deep copy on the assignment operator and binding this to the standard class list. Such that the following behavior can be yielded

Print a List of Places (ie, Rankings) (Python)

2012-02-25T05:37:41-08:00

Python recipe 578052 by Andrew Yurisich (list, listing, ranking).

Evolutionary Algorithm (Generation of Prime Numbers) (Python)

2011-11-27T06:45:00-08:00

Python recipe 577964 by Alexander James Wallar (algorithm, example, genetic, genetic_algorithm, genetic_algorithms, list, number, of, prime, primelist, primes, theory).

This is an evolutionary algorithm that returns a random list of prime numbers. This code is highly inefficient for a reason. This algorithm is more of a proof of concept that if a prime was a heritable trait, it would not be a desired one.

Parameters:

isPrime --> n: number to check if it is prime allPrimes --> n: size of list of random primes, m: the primes in the list will be between 0 and m

primeList (Python)

2011-11-05T23:42:37-07:00

Python recipe 577935 by Alexander James Wallar (list, numbers, prime, primelist, primes, theory). Revision 3.

This module returns all the prime numbers strictly less than n. For this code to print out all of the primes n inclusive, in the range, n+1 must be substituted for n.

2011-05-27T01:47:37-07:00

Python recipe 577724 by Sunjay Varma (function, list, recursive, substitute).

This recipe is a simple solution for turning a recursive function into a non-recursive function.
