Hi Folks

I am studing yet (with fever, grasp and headache).

I know I can do better, but first I should learn more about
"dictionary comprehension syntax" in python 2.65


>>> dict1 = {'ab':[[1,2,3,'d3','d4',5],12],'ac':[[1,3,'78a','79b'],54],'ad': [[56,57,58,59],34], 'ax': [[56,57,58,59],34]}
>>> dict2 = {'ab':[[22,2,'a0','42s','c4','d3'],12],'ab':[[2,4,50,42,'c4'],12],'ac':[[1,3,'79b',45,65,'er4'],54],'ae': [[56,57,58,59],34],'ax':[[9],34]}
>>>
>>> # Arnaud Delobelle
... def intersectList(iterables):
...     nexts = [iter(iterable).next for iterable in iterables]
...     v = [next() for next in nexts]
...     while True:
...         for i in xrange(1, len(v)):
...             while v[0] > v[i]:
...                 v[i] = nexts[i]()
...             if v[0] < v[i]: break
...         else:
...             yield v[0]
...         v[0] = nexts[0]()
...
>>> def intersect(s1, s2):
...     d = {}
...     e = {}
...     r1 = filter(s1.has_key, s2.keys())
...     for x in r1:
...         d[x] = list(intersectList([s1[x][0],s2[x][0]]))
...         if len(d[x]) > 0:
...             e[x] = d[x]
...     return e
...
>>> intersect(dict1,dict2)
{'ac': [1, 3, '79b'], 'ab': [2]}
>>>


Best Regards

Mario
