<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578092 by <a href="/recipes/users/4181290/">Garrett</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/flatten/">flatten</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/iterator/">iterator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/itertools/">itertools</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/list/">list</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tuple/">tuple</a>). Revision 6. </p> <p>What if you had a list like this: [1, -10, [1,2,[3,4]], xrange(200)], and you just wanted to go through each element in order (wanted it to return a simple list of [1,-10,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4...199])</p> <p>I've seen a couple of attempts to flatten arbitrarily deep lists. Many of them involve recursion, like this one: <a href="http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2006/09/more-on-python-flatten.html" rel="nofollow">http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2006/09/more-on-python-flatten.html</a></p> <p>Recursion is generally considered non-pythonic (at least to my knowledge), so I have used one which just involves simple iterators instead. Also, recursion will fail if the list is too deep (so it wouldn't really be arbitrary, would it?).</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Oftentimes you want to find the index of a list-like object. Numpy arrays, for example, do not have a index member function. These get the job done quickly.</p> <p>Note: these do not raise exceptions, instead they return -1 on error. You should change that if you want different behavior.</p>

One is zipped = zip(<em>ray) zipped.sort() ray = zip(</em>zipped)</p> <p>but this is extremely slow. Numpy has a much faster way to do it, but it wasn't immediately apparent.</p> <p>if the above were a numpy array you could simply do the following: indexes = numpy.argsort(ray[0]) for n in xrange(len(ray)) ray[n] = ray[n][indexes]</p> <p>I did a time test of the two methods below.</p>
