group by

1. 使用例子

Code Example:

from itertools import groupby

things = [('2009-09-02', 11),
          ('2009-09-02', 3),
          ('2009-09-03', 10),
          ('2009-09-03', 4),
          ('2009-09-03', 22),
          ('2009-09-06', 33)]
for key, group in groupby(things, key=lambda x: x[0]):
    print('Group: %s' % key)
    for v in group:
        print(v)
    print('\n')

Output:

Group: 2009-09-02
('2009-09-02', 11)
('2009-09-02', 3)


Group: 2009-09-03
('2009-09-03', 10)
('2009-09-03', 4)
('2009-09-03', 22)


Group: 2009-09-06
('2009-09-06', 33)

2. 注意

groupby只分组连续的key相同的item。如果你想要全局分组，必须首先按同样的key排序！

现在我们假设数据是如下形式：

things = [('2009-09-02', 11),
          ('2009-09-03', 4),
          ('2009-09-02', 3),
          ('2009-09-03', 10),
          ('2009-09-03', 22),
          ('2009-09-06', 33)]

直接分组会产生如下结果

Group: 2009-09-02
('2009-09-02', 11)


Group: 2009-09-03
('2009-09-03', 4)


Group: 2009-09-02
('2009-09-02', 3)


Group: 2009-09-03
('2009-09-03', 10)
('2009-09-03', 22)


Group: 2009-09-06
('2009-09-06', 33)

这并不是我们想要的，所以此时要想产生和第一节中相同的结果，你必须首先对item按照日期排序。
