I would like to know how I could have constructed this better, particularly if there’s a way I could have incorporated the slice operator to cut down on my variable usage. For context – the response contained a JSON string in between the <ExecuteResult>Read more

Needing sorted keys (even though I don’t care about key order in the final result). “”” >>> d = {‘A’: [0, 1, 2], … ‘B’: [3, 4], … ‘C’: [5, 6, 7]} >>> for element in dict_product(d): … print(element) {‘A’: 0, ‘B’: 3, ‘C’: 5} {‘A’: 0,Read more

I am fairly new to the pythonic way of doing things. So, I just wondered if this could be done pythonically without using much for loop. Here is a list: mylist = [“BTC”, “BCH”, “ETH”, “XRP”, “LTC”, “DASH”, “XMR”, “BTG”, “NOE”, “DOGE”, “XEM”, “NXT”, “ETC”, “IOTA”] listed = list(“”.join(mylist[0:2])) print(listed) My output: [‘B’, ‘T’, ‘C’,Read more
