Python 3.9.9 Hello
I have some troubles with groupby from itertools from itertools import groupby for k, grp in groupby("aahfffddssssnnb"): print(k, list(grp)) print(k, list(grp)) a ['a', 'a'] a [] h ['h'] h [] f ['f', 'f', 'f'] f [] d ['d', 'd'] d [] s ['s', 's', 's', 's'] s [] n ['n', 'n'] n [] b ['b'] b [] It works as expected. itertools._grouper objects are probably iterators so they provide their datas only once. OK but: li = [grp for k, grp in groupby("aahfffddssssnnb")] list(li[0]) [] list(li[1]) [] It seems empty ... I don't understand why, this is the first read of an iterator, it should provide its data. This one works: ["".join(grp) for k, grp in groupby("aahfffddssssnnb")] ['aa', 'h', 'fff', 'dd', 'ssss', 'nn', 'b'] regards -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
