More Itertools
==============

:target: https://coveralls.io/github/erikrose/more-itertools?branch=master
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 <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install more-itertools
The recipes from the `itertools docs <https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools-recipes>`_
are included in the top-level package:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from more_itertools import flatten
>>> iterable = [(0, 1), (2, 3)]
>>> list(flatten(iterable))
[0, 1, 2, 3]
Several new recipes are available as well:
.. code-block:: python
>>> 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 <https://more-itertools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html>`_.
Development
===========
``more-itertools`` is maintained by `@erikrose <https://github.com/erikrose>`_
and `@bbayles <https://github.com/bbayles>`_, with help from `many others <https://github.com/erikrose/more-itertools/graphs/contributors>`_.
If you have a problem or suggestion, please file a bug or pull request in this
repository. Thanks for contributing!
Version History
===============
4.2.0
-----
* New itertools:
* map_reduce (thanks to pylang)
* prepend (from the `Python 3.7 docs <https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/itertools.html#itertools-recipes>`_)
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* bucket now complies with PEP 479 (thanks to irmen)
* Other changes:
* Python 3.7 is now supported (thanks to irmen)
* Python 3.3 is no longer supported
* The test suite no longer requires third-party modules to run
* The API docs now include links to source code
4.1.0
-----
* New itertools:
* split_at (thanks to michael-celani)
* circular_shifts (thanks to hiqua)
* make_decorator - see the blog post `Yo, I heard you like decorators <https://sites.google.com/site/bbayles/index/decorator_factory>`_
for a tour (thanks to pylang)
* always_reversible (thanks to michael-celani)
* nth_combination (from the `Python 3.7 docs <https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/itertools.html#itertools-recipes>`_)
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* seekable now has an ``elements`` method to return cached items.
* The performance tradeoffs between roundrobin and
interleave_longest are now documented (thanks michael-celani,
pylang, and MSeifert04)
4.0.1
-----
* No code changes - this release fixes how the docs display on PyPI.
4.0.0
-----
* New itertools:
* consecutive_groups (Based on the example in the `Python 2.4 docs <https://docs.python.org/release/2.4.4/lib/itertools-example.html>`_)
* seekable (If you're looking for how to "reset" an iterator,
you're in luck!)
* exactly_n (thanks to michael-celani)
* run_length.encode and run_length.decode
* difference
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* The number of items between filler elements in intersperse can
now be specified (thanks to pylang)
* distinct_permutations and peekable got some minor
adjustments (thanks to MSeifert04)
* always_iterable now returns an iterator object. It also now
allows different types to be considered iterable (thanks to jaraco)
* bucket can now limit the keys it stores in memory
* one now allows for custom exceptions (thanks to kalekundert)
* Other changes:
* A few typos were fixed (thanks to EdwardBetts)
* All tests can now be run with ``python setup.py test``
The major version update is due to the change in the return value of always_iterable.
It now always returns iterator objects:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from more_itertools import always_iterable
# Non-iterable objects are wrapped with iter(tuple(obj))
>>> always_iterable(12345)
<tuple_iterator object at 0x7fb24c9488d0>
>>> list(always_iterable(12345))
[12345]
# Iterable objects are wrapped with iter()
>>> always_iterable([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
<list_iterator object at 0x7fb24c948c50>
3.2.0
-----
* New itertools:
* lstrip, rstrip, and strip
(thanks to MSeifert04 and pylang)
* islice_extended
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* Some bugs with slicing peekable-wrapped iterables were fixed
3.1.0
-----
* New itertools:
* numeric_range (Thanks to BebeSparkelSparkel and MSeifert04)
* count_cycle (Thanks to BebeSparkelSparkel)
* locate (Thanks to pylang and MSeifert04)
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* A few itertools are now slightly faster due to some function
optimizations. (Thanks to MSeifert04)
* The docs have been substantially revised with installation notes,
categories for library functions, links, and more. (Thanks to pylang)
3.0.0
-----
* Removed itertools:
* ``context`` has been removed due to a design flaw - see below for
replacement options. (thanks to NeilGirdhar)
* Improvements to existing itertools:
* ``side_effect`` now supports ``before`` and ``after`` keyword
arguments. (Thanks to yardsale8)
* PyPy and PyPy3 are now supported.
The major version change is due to the removal of the ``context`` function.
Replace it with standard ``with`` statement context management:
.. code-block:: python
# Don't use context() anymore
file_obj = StringIO()
consume(print(x, file=f) for f in context(file_obj) for x in u'123')
# Use a with statement instead
file_obj = StringIO()
with file_obj as f:
consume(print(x, file=f) for x in u'123')

(Thanks to pylang)

``tail`` from the itertools documentation.
* ``bucket`` (Thanks to Rosuav and cvrebert)
* ``collapse`` (Thanks to abarnet)

(Contributed by coady, with thanks to piskvorky)
* ``collate`` now delegates to ``heapq.merge`` when possible.
(Thanks to kmike and julianpistorius)

(Thanks to coady)
2.3
-----
* Added ``one`` from ``jaraco.util.itertools``. (Thanks, jaraco!)
* Added ``distinct_permutations`` and ``unique_to_each``. (Contributed by
bbayles)
* Added ``windowed``. (Contributed by bbayles, with thanks to buchanae,
jaraco, and abarnert)
* Simplified the implementation of ``chunked``. (Thanks, nvie!)
* Python 3.5 is now supported. Python 2.6 is no longer supported.
* Python 3 is now supported directly; there is no 2to3 step.
2.2
-----
* Added ``iterate`` and ``with_iter``. (Thanks, abarnert!)
2.1
-----
* Added (tested!) implementations of the recipes from the itertools
documentation. (Thanks, Chris Lonnen!)
* Added ``ilen``. (Thanks for the inspiration, Matt Basta!)
2.0
-----
* ``chunked`` now returns lists rather than tuples. After all, they're
homogeneous. This slightly backward-incompatible change is the reason for
the major version bump.
* Added ``@consumer``.
* Improved test machinery.
1.1
-----
* Added ``first`` function.
* Added Python 3 support.
* Added a default arg to ``peekable.peek()``.
* Noted how to easily test whether a peekable iterator is exhausted.
* Rewrote documentation.
1.0
-----
* Initial release, with ``collate``, ``peekable``, and ``chunked``. Could
really use better docs.
