Example 1: flatten a list of list python
# idiomatic python
# using itertools
import itertools
list_of_list = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6]]
chain = itertools.chain(*images)
flattened_list = list(chain)
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Example 2: python nested list
# example of a nested list
my_list = [[1, 2], ["one", "two"]]
# accessing a nested list
my_list[1][0] # outputs "one"
Example 3: how to make one list from nested list
>>> from collections import Iterable
def flatten(lis):
for item in lis:
if isinstance(item, Iterable) and not isinstance(item, str):
for x in flatten(item):
yield x
else:
yield item
>>> lis = [1,[2,2,2],4]
>>> list(flatten(lis))
[1, 2, 2, 2, 4]
>>> list(flatten([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Example 4: flatten lists python
flat_list = []
for sublist in l:
for item in sublist:
flat_list.append(item)
