hello!
I want to change a nested tuple like: tuple = (('goat', 90, 100), ('cat', 80, 80), ('platypus', 60, 800)) into: tuple = (('goat', 90), ('cat', 80), ('platypus', 60))
in other words, slice the first elements of every index
Any ideas on how to do this in an elegant, pythonic way?
Best regards, Dimitri
Hi Dimitri,
here's one way:
>>> my_tuple = (('goat', 90, 100), ('cat', 80, 80), ('platypus', 60, 800))
>>> my_sliced_tuple = tuple([x[0:2] for x in my_tuple])
>>> my_sliced_tuple
(('goat', 90), ('cat', 80), ('platypus', 60))
>>>
BTW, don't use `tuple' as a name. You can, but then you hide the built-in tuple function. And, you need that :-)
Best,
