Hello, i'm not very experienced in python. Is there a way doing below more memory efficient and maybe faster. I import a 2-column file and then concat for every unique value in the first column ( key) the value from the second columns.
So The ouptut is something like that. A,1,2,3 B,3,4 C,9,10,11,12,90,34,322,21 Thanks for advance & regards, Christian import csv import random import sys from itertools import groupby from operator import itemgetter f=csv.reader(open(sys.argv[1]),delimiter=';') z=[[i[0],i[1]] for i in f] z.sort(key=itemgetter(0)) mydict = dict((k,','.join(map(itemgetter(1), it))) for k, it in groupby(z, itemgetter(0))) del(z) f = open(sys.argv[2], 'w') for k,v in mydict.iteritems(): f.write(v + "\n") f.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
