This module implements a number of <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-iterator">iterator</a> building blocks inspired
by constructs from APL, Haskell, and SML. Each has been recast in a form
suitable for Python.
The module standardizes a core set of fast, memory efficient tools that are
useful by themselves or in combination. Together, they form an “iterator
algebra” making it possible to construct specialized tools succinctly and
efficiently in pure Python.
For instance, SML provides a tabulation tool: <code class="docutils literal notranslate">tabulate(f)</code> which produces a
sequence <code class="docutils literal notranslate">f(0), f(1), ...</code>. The same effect can be achieved in Python
by combining <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.imap" title="itertools.imap"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">imap()</code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.count" title="itertools.count"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">count()</code></a> to form <code class="docutils literal notranslate">imap(f, count())</code>.
These tools and their built-in counterparts also work well with the high-speed
functions in the <a class="reference internal" href="operator.html#module-operator" title="operator: Functions corresponding to the standard operators."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate">operator</code></a> module. For example, the multiplication
operator can be mapped across two vectors to form an efficient dot-product:
<code class="docutils literal notranslate">sum(imap(operator.mul, vector1, vector2))</code>.

The following module functions all construct and return iterators. Some provide
streams of infinite length, so they should only be accessed by functions or
loops that truncate the stream.

Elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on their

values in each combination.

Combinations are emitted in lexicographic sort order. So, if the

Elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on their

used as an argument to <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.imap" title="itertools.imap"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">imap()</code></a> to generate consecutive data points.
Also, used with <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.izip" title="itertools.izip"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">izip()</code></a> to add sequence numbers. Equivalent to:

<dd>Make an iterator that drops elements from the iterable as long as the predicate

any output until the predicate first becomes false, so it may have a lengthy
start-up time. Roughly equivalent to:

<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="itertools.groupby">
itertools.groupby(iterable[, key])<a class="headerlink" href="#itertools.groupby" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd>Make an iterator that returns consecutive keys and groups from the iterable.
The key is a function computing a key value for each element. If not
specified or is <code class="docutils literal notranslate">None</code>, key defaults to an identity function and returns
the element unchanged. Generally, the iterable needs to already be sorted on
the same key function.
The operation of <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.groupby" title="itertools.groupby"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">groupby()</code></a> is similar to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate">uniq</code> filter in Unix. It
generates a break or new group every time the value of the key function changes
(which is why it is usually necessary to have sorted the data using the same key
function). That behavior differs from SQL’s GROUP BY which aggregates common
elements regardless of their input order.
The returned group is itself an iterator that shares the underlying iterable
with <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.groupby" title="itertools.groupby"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">groupby()</code></a>. Because the source is shared, when the <a class="reference internal" href="#itertools.groupby" title="itertools.groupby"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate">groupby()</code></a>
object is advanced, the previous group is no longer visible. So, if that data
is needed later, it should be stored as a list:
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre>groups = []

Roughly equivalent to nested for-loops in a generator expression. For example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate">product(A, B)</code> returns the same as <code class="docutils literal notranslate">((x,y) for x in A for y in B)</code>.
The nested loops cycle like an odometer with the rightmost element advancing
on every iteration. This pattern creates a lexicographic ordering so that if
the input’s iterables are sorted, the product tuples are emitted in sorted
order.
To compute the product of an iterable with itself, specify the number of
repetitions with the optional repeat keyword argument. For example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate">product(A, repeat=4)</code> means the same as <code class="docutils literal notranslate">product(A, A, A, A)</code>.

<h2>9.7.2. Recipes<a class="headerlink" href="#recipes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
This section shows recipes for creating an extended toolset using the existing
itertools as building blocks.
The extended tools offer the same high performance as the underlying toolset.
The superior memory performance is kept by processing elements one at a time
rather than bringing the whole iterable into memory all at once. Code volume is
kept small by linking the tools together in a functional style which helps
eliminate temporary variables. High speed is retained by preferring
“vectorized” building blocks over the use of for-loops and <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-generator">generator</a>s
