I have a list of objects, each object having two relevant attributes:

I.e. i would like to parse my list into smaller lists such that each

specific id.
I'm not quite following you here. What are the inputs and outputs
you're after?
For the sake of argument let's say you want: given the list of objects
(let's call it mylist), and a desired ID (desired_id), return a
smaller list of all the objects with that ID. That would be simply:
return [item for item in mylist if item.id=desired_id]
Look up "list comprehensions" for an explanation of what's going on
here.
If you want a list for a given date, then just change the "if" part.
You seem to want both at once, but I can't understand what that means.
