Hi,
IMHO, on http://www.python.org/doc/current/li...s-example.html ,
shouldn't the part for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i,x):i-x):
.... print map(operator.itemgetter(1), g)
be
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i, x): i-x):
.... print [i[1] for i in g]
?
AFAIK, list comprehensions are more preferable than map's as they're clearer. Or am I wrong?
Cya,
Felipe.

Both work just fine. It's a personal choice when to use map() and when
to use a list comprehension. Since many itertools have the flavor of
map/filter, its use is not out of place in the itertools docs.
Also, the use of map() provided an opportunity to demonstrate
operator.itemgetter(). While not essential to this example, it is
helpful with several other tools (especially those with a key=
argument). Itertools provide a kind of iterator algebra and
itemgetter() is an essential part of that algebra; hence, it is
appropriate that it be included in itertool examples.
If your taste says otherwise, that's okay. Program however you want.
If reading the examples helped you understand the toolset, then the
docs accomplished their goal.

I know both work in the same way, but IIRC I heard someone (GvR?) saying
list comprehensions should be used when possible to substitute map,
filter and/or reduce.

IMO at a first glance the it's much easier to read and understand the
list comprehension, but I have to admit that if I didn't see the
operator.itemgetter(1) there I would probably never known it existed.
Well, so let's just leave it there, but I'll surely program with the
list comprehensions ;-).
Thanks for your attention,
Felipe. Raymond
