I have a list as follows,
my_list = ['France, the weather is nice', 'the house is beautiful', 'we have a fresh start here','France, the dinner is amazing', 'the lady is lovely', 'France, the house is beautiful','the location is fascinating']
I want to split the list into multiple list every time the word 'France,' is in the string, so the output should be,
desired_list = [['France, the weather is nice', 'the house is beautiful', 'we have a fresh start here'],['France, the dinner is amazing', 'the lady is lovely'],['France, the house is beautiful','the location is fascinating']]
I have tried the following, but would like to keep the sentence that has 'France,' too.
new_list =[list(y) for x, y in itertools.groupby(my_list, lambda z: z.startswith('France,)) if not x]
another answer
in addition to the answer given by Titouan L, I also found the answer using more_itertools
import more_itertools as miter
print(list(miter.split_before(my_list, lambda x: x.startswith("France,"))))
I've come up with a solution with nested loops, as I'm not very experienced with list comprehension and lambda expression.
my_list = ['France, the weather is nice', 'the house is beautiful', 'we have a fresh start here', 'France, the dinner is amazing',
'the lady is lovely', 'France, the house is beautiful', 'the location is fascinating']
new_list = []
sub_list = []
for i in my_list:
if i.startswith('France,'):
if sub_list != []:
new_list.append(sub_list)
sub_list=[]
sub_list.append(i)
new_list.append(sub_list)
