More routines for operating on iterables, beyond itertools
Project description
Python’s itertools library is a gem - you can compose elegant solutions for a variety of problems with the functions it provides. In more-itertools we collect additional building blocks, recipes, and routines for working with Python iterables.
Getting started
To get started, install the library with pip:
pip install more-itertools
The recipes from the itertools docs are included in the top-level package:
>>> from more_itertools import flatten
>>> iterable = [(0, 1), (2, 3)]
>>> list(flatten(iterable))
[0, 1, 2, 3]
Several new recipes are available as well:
>>> from more_itertools import chunked
>>> iterable = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> list(chunked(iterable, 3))
[[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]]
>>> from more_itertools import spy
>>> iterable = (x * x for x in range(1, 6))
>>> head, iterable = spy(iterable, n=3)
>>> list(head)
[1, 4, 9]
>>> list(iterable)
[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
For the full listing of functions, see the API documentation.

The .pyi files for typing were updated. (thanks to blueyed and ilai-deutel)
- Changes to existing itertools:
numeric_range now behaves more like the built-in range. (thanks to jferard)

8.0.1
- Bug fixes
The type stub files now work for functions imported from the root package (thanks to keisheiled)
8.0.0
- New itertools and other additions
This library now ships type hints for use with mypy. (thanks to ilai-deutel for the implementation, and to gabbard and fmagin for assistance)
split_when (thanks to jferard)
repeat_last (thanks to d-ryzhikov)
- Changes to existing itertools:
The implementation for set_partitions was improved. (thanks to jferard)
partition was optimized for expensive predicates. (thanks to stevecj)
unique_everseen and groupby_transform were re-factored. (thanks to SergBobrovsky)
The implementation for difference was improved. (thanks to Jabbey92)
- Other changes
Python 3.4 has reached its end of life and is no longer supported.
Python 3.8 is officially supported. (thanks to jdufresne)
The collate function has been deprecated. It raises a DeprecationWarning if used, and will be removed in a future release.
one and only now provide more informative error messages. (thanks to gabbard)
Unit tests were moved outside of the main package (thanks to jdufresne)
Various documentation fixes (thanks to kriomant, gabbard, jdufresne)
7.2.0
- New itertools
distinct_combinations
set_partitions (thanks to kbarrett)
filter_except
map_except
7.1.0
- New itertools
ichunked (thanks davebelais and youtux)
only (thanks jaraco)
- Changes to existing itertools:
numeric_range now supports ranges specified by datetime.datetime and datetime.timedelta objects (thanks to MSeifert04 for tests).
difference now supports an initial keyword argument.
- Other changes
Various documentation fixes (thanks raimon49, pylang)
7.0.0
- New itertools:
time_limited
partitions (thanks to rominf and Saluev)
substrings_indexes (thanks to rominf)
- Changes to existing itertools:
collapse now treats bytes objects the same as str objects. (thanks to Sweenpet)
The major version update is due to the change in the default behavior of collapse. It now treats bytes objects the same as str objects. This aligns its behavior with always_iterable.
>>> from more_itertools import collapse
>>> iterable = [[1, 2], b'345', [6]]
>>> print(list(collapse(iterable)))
[1, 2, b'345', 6]
6.0.0
- Major changes:
Python 2.7 is no longer supported. The 5.0.0 release will be the last version targeting Python 2.7.
All future releases will target the active versions of Python 3. As of 2019, those are Python 3.4 and above.
The six library is no longer a dependency.
The accumulate function is no longer part of this library. You may import a better version from the standard itertools module.
- Changes to existing itertools:
The order of the parameters in grouper have changed to match the latest recipe in the itertools documentation. Use of the old order will be supported in this release, but emit a DeprecationWarning. The legacy behavior will be dropped in a future release. (thanks to jaraco)
distinct_permutations was improved (thanks to jferard - see also permutations with unique values at StackOverflow.)
An unused parameter was removed from substrings. (thanks to pylang)
- Other changes:
The docs for unique_everseen were improved. (thanks to jferard and MSeifert04)
Several Python 2-isms were removed. (thanks to jaraco, MSeifert04, and hugovk)
