I fuzzy matched a list of movie titles and compiled them into another list of each comparison along with the match values:
>>> fuzzy_matches
[(['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], 100), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Digiview Entertainment)'], 63), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum)'], 78), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum) / David And Goliath'], 63), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum) / Duel Of Champions'], 61)]...etc
I want to add up the match values for each title so that I get output like this:
>>>([White Warrior (Alpha Video)], 248),
['White Warrior 2 (Digiview Entertainment)'], 390),
etc...
I have tried several implementations utilizing slices but it's ugly.
(Not my exact code but this is the ugliness):
for x in range(len(fuzzed)):
for y in fuzzed(len(fuzzed)):
big_dict[fuzzy_matches[55][0][0]]=fuzzy_matches[55][2] + fuzzy_matches[56][3]...
what is a more efficient way to accomplish this?
You can use a dict to store the results you want , and then at the end if you want a list of tuples , you can use dict.items() (Python 3.x ) to get that.
Example -
>>> fuzzy_matches = [(['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], 100), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Digiview Entertainment)'], 63), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum)'], 78), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum) / David And Goliath'], 63), (['White Warrior (Alpha Video)'], ['White Warrior (Platinum) / Du
el Of Champions'], 61)]
>>>
>>> fuzzy_dict = {}
>>> for i in fuzzy_matches:
... if i[0][0] not in fuzzy_dict:
... fuzzy_dict[i[0][0]] = 0
... fuzzy_dict[i[0][0]] += i[2]
...
>>> fuzzy_dict
{'White Warrior (Alpha Video)': 365}
>>> list(fuzzy_dict.items())
[('White Warrior (Alpha Video)', 365)]
You do not need list(...) at the end if you are using Python 2.x .
