[Baypiggies] manipulating lists question

[Filip Machi]

[I'm not sure I can post to BayPiggies using this email address.]

This is a start, y1 and y2 the two forms noted by Michael:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

from collections import OrderedDict

x = [['cat','NM123',12],['cat','NM234',12], ['dog', 'NM56',65]]
z = OrderedDict([(e[0], (set(), set())) for e in x])
for e in x:
     z[e[0]][0].update([e[1]])
     z[e[0]][1].update([e[2]])

y1 = [[e] + list(z[e][0]) + list(z[e][1]) for e in z]
print y1

y2 = [[e] + [', '.join(list(z[e][0]))] + list(z[e][1]) for e in z]
print y2

Output:
[['cat', 'NM234', 'NM123', 12], ['dog', 'NM56', 65]]
[['cat', 'NM234, NM123', 12], ['dog', 'NM56', 65]]
