Hi, I have a list of rows which contains a list of cells (from a html table), and I want to create an array of logical row groups (ie group rows by the rowspan). I am only concerned with checking the rowspan of specific columns, so that makes it easier, but I am having trouble implementing it in python. In perl/c I could use a for loop and modify the control variable as I walked the array:
my (@rowgroups); for (my ($i) = 0; $i < $#rows; $i++) { my ($rowspan) = $rows[$i][0]->attr("rowspan") || 1; $rowspan--; # 0 indexed push @rowgroups, $rows[$i .. $i+$rowspan]; $i += $rowspan; } but in python I can only come up with this: rowgroups = [] rowspan = 0 for i in rows: if rowspan > 0: rowspan -= 1 continue rowspan = rows[j][0]["rowspan"] or 1 rowgroups.append(rows[ rows.index(i) : rows.index(i) + rowspan ]) rowspan -= 1 I really dont like this solution. Any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
