Example text

Step attributes, respectively. step In addition, you can map a slice onto a sequence of a specific size by using its indi ces(size) method. This returns a tuple (start, stop, step) where all values have been suitably limited to fit within bounds (as to avoid IndexError exceptions when indexing). For example: >>> >>> (5, >>> ... 11. 12. Determining the Most Frequently Occurring Items in a Sequence Problem You have a sequence of items, and you’d like to determine the most frequently occurring items in the sequence.

As input, the argument to the substitution callback is a match object, as returned by match() or find(). group() method to extract specific parts of the match. The function should return the replacement text. subn() instead. subn(r'\3-\1-\2', text) >>> newtext 'Today is 2012-11-27. ' >>> n 2 >>> Discussion There isn’t much more to regular expression search and replace than the sub() method shown. The trickiest part is specifying the regular expression pattern—something that’s best left as an exercise to the reader.

Keeping Dictionaries in Order Problem You want to create a dictionary, and you also want to control the order of items when iterating or serializing. 12 | Chapter 1: Data Structures and Algorithms Solution To control the order of items in a dictionary, you can use an OrderedDict from the collections module. It exactly preserves the original insertion order of data when iterating. For example: from collections import OrderedDict d = OrderedDict() d['foo'] = 1 d['bar'] = 2 d['spam'] = 3 d['grok'] = 4 # Outputs "foo 1", "bar 2", "spam 3", "grok 4" for key in d: print(key, d[key]) An OrderedDict can be particularly useful when you want to build a mapping that you may want to later serialize or encode into a different format.
