You're nuts :) Itertools to me is the Swiss Army Knife
If you don't have to deal with large datasets many of its functions can
easily be emulated with lists and loops though.
Exactly. and if I deal with large data its usually in a SQL database and
I can use SQL to do the hard work. So the groupby type functions are for
me a SQL feature.
But I know thee itertools has a lot of powerful stuff in it, I just
haven't had a big enough itch to investige it yet. :-)
And at the moment I'm immersing myself in JQuery so it will be a while
before itertools gets a look in!
Reminds me of the Welsh selectors, two were wise and chose Dai, but
three were foolish and chose Gareth. That should lead to some head
scratching!!!
