So, following Kent and Alan's advice, I've preprocessed my data, and have code that produces 6 LogFile iterator objects:
>>> import magpie >>> magpie.logs[1] <magpie.LogFile instance at 0x2b8235debc20> >>> dir(magpie.logs[1]) ['__doc__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__module__', 'date', 'logfile', 'timestamp'] >>> for timestamp, entry in itertools.islice(magpie.logs[1], 3): ... print timestamp, entry ... [05/Nov/2009:04:02:13 +0000] 192.168.41.107 - - [05/Nov/2009:04:02:13 +0000] "GET http://sekrit.com/taxonomy/term/27908?page=111&item_884=1&year=66&form_id=dynamic_build_learning_objectives_form&level=121 HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" [05/Nov/2009:04:02:13 +0000] 66.249.165.22 - - [05/Nov/2009:04:02:13 +0000] "GET /taxonomy/term/27908?page=111&item_884=1&year=66&form_id=objectives_form&level=121 HTTP/1.1" 200 28736 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" [05/Nov/2009:04:02:15 +0000] 162.172.185.126 - - [05/Nov/2009:04:02:15 +0000] "GET http://sekrit.com/sites/all/themes/liszt/images/backgrounds/grad_nav_5_h3.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)" This is great. So I have a list of 6 of these iterator objects. Kent mentioned feeding them into an iterator merger. I've got the iterator merger in place too: >>> from imerge import imerge >>> imerge <function imerge at 0x2b8235df6050> >>> imerge([1,3,4],[2,7]) <generator object at 0x2b8235debf38> >>> list(imerge([1,3,4],[2,7])) [1, 2, 3, 4, 7] What I'm trying to work out is how to feed the data I have - 6 streams of timestamp, entry into imerge. How can I do this?
