Hi all,

I would get a new list as:

[(0, '3eA', 'Dupont', 'Juliette', '11.0/10.0', '4.0/5.0', '17.5/30.0',
'3.0/5.0', '4.5/10.0', '35.5/60.0'), (1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy',
'12.0/10.0', '3.5/5.0', '11.5/30.0', '4.0/5.0', '5.5/10.0',
'7.5/10.0', '40.5/60.0')]

... from this one:

[(0, '3eA', 'Dupont', 'Juliette', 0, 11.0, 10.0), (0, '3eA', 'Dupont',
'Juliette', 1, 4.0, 5.0), (0, '3eA', 'Dupont', 'Juliette', 2, 17.5,
30.0), (0, '3eA', 'Dupont', 'Juliette', 3, 3.0, 5.0), (0, '3eA',
'Dupont', 'Juliette', 4, 4.5, 10.0), (0, '3eA', 'Dupont', 'Juliette',
5, 35.5, 60.0), (1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy', 0, 12.0, 10.0), (1, '3eA',
'Pop', 'Iggy', 1, 3.5, 5.0), (1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy', 2, 11.5, 30.0),
(1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy', 3, 4.0, 5.0), (1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy', 4,
5.5, 10.0), (1, '3eA', 'Pop', 'Iggy', 5, 40.5, 60.0)]

How to make that ? I'm looking for but for now I can't do it.

Thanks in advance.

I had to study carefully your present and desired lists, and I understood what follows (please, next time explain !): - each 7-tuple in your present list is a record for some measure relative to a person. Its fields are as follows:
    - field 0: code (I think you want that in growing order)
- field 1: group code (could be a class or a group to which both of your example persons belong)
    - fields 2, 3: surname and name of the person
- field 4: progressive number of the measure (these are in order already, but I think you want to enforce this) that you want to exclude from the output list while keeping the order - field 5, 6: numerator and denominator of a ratio that is the measure. you want the ratio to be written as a single string: "%s/%s" % field5, field6

Taking for granted this structure and my educated guesses about what you didn't tell us, here's my solution:

def flatten(inlist)
    """
      takes PyProg PyProg's current list and returns his/her desired one,
given my guesses about the structure of inlist and the desired result.
    """
    tempdict = {}
    for item in inlist:
        if len(item) != 7:
            print "Item errato: \n", item
        id = tuple(item[:4])
        progr = item[4]
        payload = "%s/%s" % item[5:]
        if id in tempdict:
           tempdict[id].extend([(progr, payload)])
        else:
           tempdict[id] = [(progr, payload)]
    for item in tempdict:
tempdict[item].sort() # so we set payloads in progressive order, if they aren't already
    # print "Temporary Dict: ", tempdict
    tmplist2 = []
    for item in tempdict:
        templist = []
        templist.extend(item)
        templist.extend(tempdict[item])
        tmplist2.append(tuple(templist))
    tmplist2.sort()# so we set IDs in order
    # print "Temporary List: ", tmplist2
    outlist = []
    for item in tmplist2:
        templist = []
        if isinstance(item, tuple):
           for subitem in item:
               if isinstance(subitem, tuple):
                  templist.append(subitem[1])
               else:
                  templist.append(subitem)
           outlist.append(tuple(templist))
        else:
           outlist.append(item)
    # print "\nOutput List: ", outlist
    return outlist

ok, as usual when I look again at something I wrote, I found some little mistakes. Here's my errata corrige:

1- of course, a function definition must end with a colon...
   line 1:
def flatten(inlist):

2- sorry, English is not my first language...
   line 9:
             print "Item length wrong!\n", item

3- I didn't insert a break statement after line 9, but if inlist contained a wrong item it would be nice to do something more than simply tell the user, for example we could skip that item, or trim / pad it, or stop the execution, or raise an exception... I just told it to the unsuspecting user, and this may very probably lead to some exception in a later point, or (much worse) to wrong results. So:
   line 8-9:
        if len(item) != 7:
             print "Item length wrong!\n", item
             raise ValueError("item length != 7")


... now I feel better ... but I must avoid reading my function again, or I'll find some more bugs!

Francesco
