The groupby function prevents you have from having to write awkward (and possibly broken) code like this: group = [] lastKey = None for item in items: newKey = item.key() if newKey == lastKey: group.append(word) elif group: doSomething(group) group = [] lastKey = newKey if group: doSomething(group) See my other reply for what it actually does in a simple example. ____________________________________________________________________________________Choose the right car based on your needs.
