Tuples Partial Match

I have a tuple of tuples and a tuple. I'm interested to know which elements of the first tuple match the second tuple (if any), considering partial matches too. This is a filter fu

Solution 1:

Why don't you use the built-in filter:

>>> filter(lambda x: x[2] == '1.3', repo)
<<< (('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3'))

...or a list comprehension:

>>> [x for x in repo if x[2] == '1.3']
<<< [('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3')]

If you wanted to wrap it up into a function:

types = {'desc': 0, 'name': 1, 'version': 2}
def repo_filter(type, critera, repo=repo, types=types):
    return [x for x in repo if x[types[type]] == critera]

>>> repo_filter('version', '1.3')
<<< [('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3')]

Solution 2:

You can use a closure to bind the pattern into the function:

def matcher(pattern):
    def f(repo):
        return all(p is None or r == p for r, p in zip(repo, pattern))
    return f

>>> repo = (('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3'), ('cms', 'django-cms', '2.2'))
>>> pattern = (None, None, '1.3')
>>> filter(matcher(pattern), repo)
(('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3'))

I've also provided a different expression for comparing the tuples.

Solution 3:

In [43]: [r for r in repo if all((p is None or q==p) for q,p in zip(r,pattern))]
Out[43]: [('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3')]

Solution 4:

def my_filter(pattern, repo):
    def f
        pattern = (None, None, '1.3')
        for idx, item in enumerate(pattern):
            if item != None and item != repo[idx]:
                return False
        return True
    return filter(f, repo)


 my_filter((None, None, '1.3'), repo)

Solution 5:

What about:

def f(repo, pattern=None):
    if not pattern:
        pattern = (None, None, '1.3')
    for idx, item in enumerate(pattern):
        if item and item != repo[idx]:
            return False
    return True

repo = (('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3'), ('cms', 'django-cms', '2.2'))

[x for x in repo if f(x)]
>>>[('framework', 'django', '1.3'), ('cms', 'fein', '1.3')]    

[x for x in repo if f(x, ('cms',None, None))]
>>> [('cms', 'fein', '1.3'), ('cms', 'django-cms', '2.2')]
