So I found a great answer to a prblem i was having here: Identify groups of continuous numbers in a list.
my code is now:
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(cycles), lambda (i,x):i-x):
print map(itemgetter(1), g)
which gives
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
[5]
[1, 2]
which is great.
However I want to be able to do stuff with this info. How do I write this to an array or something?
Just do it as follows:
result = []
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(cycles), lambda (i,x):i-x):
result.append(map(itemgetter(1), g))
print result
Or just use list comprehension:
result = [map(itemgetter(1), g) for k, g in groupby(enumerate(cycles), lambda (i,x):i-x)]
