groupby() For Unsorted Input (Python)

2017-05-12T10:40:58-07:00

Python recipe 580800 by Alfe (algorithm, datastructures, generators, grouping, lazy).

We all know the groupby() which is available in the itertools standard module. This one yields groups of consecutive elements in the input which are meant to be together in one group. For non-consecutive elements this will yield more than one group for the same key.

So effectively, groupby() only reformats a flat list into bunches of elements from that list without reordering anything. In practice this means that for input sorted by key this works perfect, but for unsorted input it might yield several groups for the same key (with groups for other keys in between). Typically needed, though, is a grouping with reordering if necessary.

I implemented a likewise lazy function (yielding generators) which also accepts ungrouped input.

2010-08-11T05:08:57-07:00

JavaScript recipe 577351 by Trent Mick (logging, nodejs).

I tend to have a "quicklog" method for a few of the languages I'm working in to do logging when stdout/stderr isn't necessarily available (GUI app) or convenient (lots of other output on stdout, etc.). My usage with nodejs was while working on the node REPL. Log output to stdout interfered with the REPL.
