I've checked few options of groupby() implementations

1. def groupby(_list, key_func):
    res = {}
    for i in _list:
        k = key_func(i)
        if k not in res:
            res[k] = [i]
        else:
            res[k].append(i)
    return res


2. def groupby(_list, key_func):
    res = {}
    [res.setdefault(key_func(i), []).append(i) for i in _list]
    return res


second one with setdefault works little bit slower then (1), although
it use list comprehension
