Hi python folks,
I have a list of lists that looks something like this:
tst = [ [], ['test'], ['t1', 't2'], ['t1', 't1', 't2'] ]
I want to change the empty sets to a blank string, i.e., '' and the lists with
repeat values to the unique set of values. So I have done the following:
>>> for t in tst:
if len(t) == 0:
tst.__setitem__(tst.index(t), '')
else:
tst.__setitem__(tst.index(t), set(t))
What I get in return is
>>> tst
['', set(['test']), set(['t2', 't1']), set(['t2', 't1'])]
The empty list is fine but the other lists seem to be expressions rather than
values. What do I need to do to simply get the values back liike the following?
['', ['test'], ['t2', 't1'], ['t2', 't1']]
Thanks,
Bob
