Looping N and searching in N would be O(N^2). But would it be too long
just to loop, so O(N)? If you need to find all averages you could try
something like this:
from collections import defaultdict
def aggdict(x):
"Convert [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (1, 'A')] to {1: ['a', 'A'], 2: ['b']}."
d = defaultdict(list)
for k, v in x:
d[k].append(v)
return dict(d)
