RE: "Collapsing" a list into a list of changes
It's not _exactly_ what you asked for but it may be enough... Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from sets import Set >>> l = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,2,4,4,4,5] >>> s = Set(l) >>> s Set([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) >>> l2 = list(s) >>> l2 [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> I say it's not exactly what you wanted because I don't think the ordering of l2 is necessarily the same as l. That may or may not be a problem for you.
