list of tuple

Hi !
I'm a new python programmer and I'm searching some tools for working
with tuples's list.
For example I have a list like that :
[('+',4,3),('+', 3,9),'('+',5,6) ,('x',10),('x', 3)]
and I would like to get a list with just the tuple with index 0 '+' or
things like that. The question is : is it possible without doing a
loop ?

Thx

I guess it depends on what you consider a loop to be:

For example, a list comprehension should do the trick:

newlist = [x[0] for x in oldlist]

(This is equivalent to a for loop that goes through each item
in the old list, appending the 0-th element of each tuple to a new
list as it goes.)

If I understood the OP correctly, he wants to select those tuples that have
a '+' as the first item. So maybe he wants:

newlist = [x for x in oldlist if x[0] == '+']

Pythons internal 'pointers' system is certainly causing me a few headaches.....

I am a little confused about a list and a tuple. Both can have dissimilar data-type elements, can be returned by functions. The only difference that I see is that list is mutable and tuple is not (of course list have .append() etc.) What is a possible scenario where one is preferred over the other? -ishwar

Hi all, I can use list comprehension to create list quickly. So I expected that I can created tuple quickly with the same syntax. But I found that the same syntax will get a generator, not a tuple. Here is my example: In : a = (i for i in range(10)) In : b =

Hi, I am wondering how do I 'flatten' a list or a tuple? For example, I'd like to transform or ] to . Another question is how do I pass a tuple or list of all the aurgements of a function to the function. For example, I have all the arguments of a function in a tuple a=(1,2,3). Then I want to pass each item in the tuple to a function f so that I make a function call f(1,2,3). In perl it is a given, but in python, I haven't figured out
