"itertools" --- Functions creating iterators for efficient looping
******************************************************************

======================================================================

Ce module implémente de nombreuses briques *d'itérateurs* inspirées
par des éléments de APL, Haskell et SML. Toutes ont été retravaillées
dans un format adapté à Python.

Ce module standardise un ensemble de base d'outils rapides et
efficaces en mémoire qui peuvent être utilisés individuellement ou en
les combinant. Ensemble, ils forment une « algèbre d'itérateurs »
rendant possible la construction rapide et efficace d'outils
spécialisés en Python.

Par exemple, SML fournit un outil de tabulation "tabulate(f)" qui
produit  une séquence "f(0), f(1), ...". Le même résultat peut être
obtenu en Python en combinant "map()" et "count()" pour former "map(f,
count())".

Itertool Functions
==================

The following 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.

itertools.accumulate(iterable[, function, *, initial=None])

   Make an iterator that returns accumulated sums or accumulated
   results from other binary functions.

   The *function* defaults to addition.  The *function* should accept
   two arguments, an accumulated total and a value from the
   *iterable*.

   If an *initial* value is provided, the accumulation will start with
   that value and the output will have one more element than the input
   iterable.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def accumulate(iterable, function=operator.add, *, initial=None):
          'Return running totals'
          # accumulate([1,2,3,4,5]) → 1 3 6 10 15
          # accumulate([1,2,3,4,5], initial=100) → 100 101 103 106 110 115
          # accumulate([1,2,3,4,5], operator.mul) → 1 2 6 24 120

          iterator = iter(iterable)
          total = initial
          if initial is None:
              try:
                  total = next(iterator)
              except StopIteration:
                  return

          yield total
          for element in iterator:
              total = function(total, element)
              yield total

   To compute a running minimum, set *function* to "min()". For a
   running maximum, set *function* to "max()". Or for a running
   product, set *function* to "operator.mul()". To build an
   amortization table, accumulate the interest and apply payments:

      >>> data = [3, 4, 6, 2, 1, 9, 0, 7, 5, 8]
      >>> list(accumulate(data, max))              # running maximum
      [3, 4, 6, 6, 6, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9]
      >>> list(accumulate(data, operator.mul))     # running product
      [3, 12, 72, 144, 144, 1296, 0, 0, 0, 0]

      # Amortize a 5% loan of 1000 with 10 annual payments of 90
      >>> update = lambda balance, payment: round(balance * 1.05) - payment
      >>> list(accumulate(repeat(90, 10), update, initial=1_000))
      [1000, 960, 918, 874, 828, 779, 728, 674, 618, 559, 497]

   Voir "functools.reduce()" pour une fonction similaire qui ne
   renvoie que la valeur accumulée finale.

   Ajouté dans la version 3.2.

   Modifié dans la version 3.3: Added the optional *function*
   parameter.

   Modifié dans la version 3.8: Ajout du paramètre optionnel
   *initial*.

itertools.batched(iterable, n, *, strict=False)

   Batch data from the *iterable* into tuples of length *n*. The last
   batch may be shorter than *n*.

   If *strict* is true, will raise a "ValueError" if the final batch
   is shorter than *n*.

   Loops over the input iterable and accumulates data into tuples up
   to size *n*.  The input is consumed lazily, just enough to fill a
   batch. The result is yielded as soon as the batch is full or when
   the input iterable is exhausted:

      >>> flattened_data = ['roses', 'red', 'violets', 'blue', 'sugar', 'sweet']
      >>> unflattened = list(batched(flattened_data, 2))
      >>> unflattened
      [('roses', 'red'), ('violets', 'blue'), ('sugar', 'sweet')]

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def batched(iterable, n, *, strict=False):
          # batched('ABCDEFG', 3) → ABC DEF G
          if n < 1:
              raise ValueError('n must be at least one')
          iterator = iter(iterable)
          while batch := tuple(islice(iterator, n)):
              if strict and len(batch) != n:
                  raise ValueError('batched(): incomplete batch')
              yield batch

   Ajouté dans la version 3.12.

   Modifié dans la version 3.13: Added the *strict* option.

itertools.chain(*iterables)

   Make an iterator that returns elements from the first iterable
   until it is exhausted, then proceeds to the next iterable, until
   all of the iterables are exhausted.  This combines multiple data
   sources into a single iterator.  Roughly equivalent to:

      def chain(*iterables):
          # chain('ABC', 'DEF') → A B C D E F
          for iterable in iterables:
              yield from iterable

classmethod chain.from_iterable(iterable)

   Constructeur alternatif pour "chain()". Récupère des entrées
   chaînées depuis un unique itérable passé en argument, qui est
   évalué de manière paresseuse. À peu près équivalent à :

      def from_iterable(iterables):
          # chain.from_iterable(['ABC', 'DEF']) → A B C D E F
          for iterable in iterables:
              yield from iterable

itertools.combinations(iterable, r)

   Renvoie les combinaisons de longueur *r* de *iterable*.

   The output is a subsequence of "product()" keeping only entries
   that are subsequences of the *iterable*.  The length of the output
   is given by "math.comb()" which computes "n! / r! / (n - r)!" when
   "0 ≤ r ≤ n" or zero when "r > n".

   The combination tuples are emitted in lexicographic order according
   to the order of the input *iterable*. If the input *iterable* is
   sorted, the output tuples will be produced in sorted order.

   Elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on
   their value.  If the input elements are unique, there will be no
   repeated values within each combination.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def combinations(iterable, r):
          # combinations('ABCD', 2) → AB AC AD BC BD CD
          # combinations(range(4), 3) → 012 013 023 123

          pool = tuple(iterable)
          n = len(pool)
          if r > n:
              return
          indices = list(range(r))

          yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)
          while True:
              for i in reversed(range(r)):
                  if indices[i] != i + n - r:
                      break
              else:
                  return
              indices[i] += 1
              for j in range(i+1, r):
                  indices[j] = indices[j-1] + 1
              yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)

itertools.combinations_with_replacement(iterable, r)

   Renvoyer les sous-séquences de longueur *r* des éléments de
   l'itérable *iterable* d'entrée, permettant aux éléments individuels
   d'être répétés plus d'une fois.

   The output is a subsequence of "product()" that keeps only entries
   that are subsequences (with possible repeated elements) of the
   *iterable*.  The number of subsequence returned is "(n + r - 1)! /
   r! / (n - 1)!" when "n > 0".

   The combination tuples are emitted in lexicographic order according
   to the order of the input *iterable*. if the input *iterable* is
   sorted, the output tuples will be produced in sorted order.

   Elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on
   their value.  If the input elements are unique, the generated
   combinations will also be unique.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def combinations_with_replacement(iterable, r):
          # combinations_with_replacement('ABC', 2) → AA AB AC BB BC CC

          pool = tuple(iterable)
          n = len(pool)
          if not n and r:
              return
          indices = [0] * r

          yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)
          while True:
              for i in reversed(range(r)):
                  if indices[i] != n - 1:
                      break
              else:
                  return
              indices[i:] = [indices[i] + 1] * (r - i)
              yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)

   Ajouté dans la version 3.1.

itertools.compress(data, selectors)

   Make an iterator that returns elements from *data* where the
   corresponding element in *selectors* is true.  Stops when either
   the *data* or *selectors* iterables have been exhausted.  Roughly
   equivalent to:

      def compress(data, selectors):
          # compress('ABCDEF', [1,0,1,0,1,1]) → A C E F
          return (datum for datum, selector in zip(data, selectors) if selector)

   Ajouté dans la version 3.1.

itertools.count(start=0, step=1)

   Make an iterator that returns evenly spaced values beginning with
   *start*. Can be used with "map()" to generate consecutive data
   points or with "zip()" to add sequence numbers.  Roughly equivalent
   to:

      def count(start=0, step=1):
          # count(10) → 10 11 12 13 14 ...
          # count(2.5, 0.5) → 2.5 3.0 3.5 ...
          n = start
          while True:
              yield n
              n += step

   When counting with floating-point numbers, better accuracy can
   sometimes be achieved by substituting multiplicative code such as:
   "(start + step * i for i in count())".

   Modifié dans la version 3.1: Ajout de l'argument *step* et ajout du
   support pour les arguments non-entiers.

itertools.cycle(iterable)

   Make an iterator returning elements from the *iterable* and saving
   a copy of each.  When the iterable is exhausted, return elements
   from the saved copy.  Repeats indefinitely.  Roughly equivalent to:

      def cycle(iterable):
          # cycle('ABCD') → A B C D A B C D A B C D ...

          saved = []
          for element in iterable:
              yield element
              saved.append(element)

          while saved:
              for element in saved:
                  yield element

   This itertool may require significant auxiliary storage (depending
   on the length of the iterable).

itertools.dropwhile(predicate, iterable)

   Make an iterator that drops elements from the *iterable* while the
   *predicate* is true and afterwards returns every element.  Roughly
   equivalent to:

      def dropwhile(predicate, iterable):
          # dropwhile(lambda x: x<5, [1,4,6,3,8]) → 6 3 8

          iterator = iter(iterable)
          for x in iterator:
              if not predicate(x):
                  yield x
                  break

          for x in iterator:
              yield x

   Note this does not produce *any* output until the predicate first
   becomes false, so this itertool may have a lengthy start-up time.

itertools.filterfalse(predicate, iterable)

   Make an iterator that filters elements from the *iterable*
   returning only those for which the *predicate* returns a false
   value.  If *predicate* is "None", returns the items that are false.
   Roughly equivalent to:

      def filterfalse(predicate, iterable):
          # filterfalse(lambda x: x<5, [1,4,6,3,8]) → 6 8

          if predicate is None:
              predicate = bool

          for x in iterable:
              if not predicate(x):
                  yield x

itertools.groupby(iterable, key=None)

   Crée un itérateur qui renvoie les clés et les groupes de l'itérable
   *iterable*. La clé *key* est une fonction qui génère une clé pour
   chaque élément. Si *key* n'est pas spécifiée ou est "None", elle
   vaut par défaut une fonction d'identité qui renvoie l'élément sans
   le modifier. Généralement, l'itérable a besoin d'avoir ses éléments
   déjà classés selon cette même fonction de clé.

   L'opération de  "groupby()" est similaire au filtre "uniq" dans
   Unix. Elle génère un nouveau groupe à chaque fois que la valeur de
   la fonction *key* change (ce pourquoi il est souvent nécessaire
   d'avoir trié les données selon la même fonction de clé).  Ce
   comportement est différent de celui de GROUP BY de SQL qui agrège
   les éléments sans prendre compte de leur ordre d'entrée.

   Le groupe renvoyé est lui-même un itérateur qui partage l'itérable
   sous-jacent avec "groupby()". Puisque que la source est partagée,
   quand l'objet "groupby()" est avancé, le groupe précédent n'est
   plus visible. Ainsi, si cette donnée doit être utilisée plus tard,
   elle doit être stockée comme une liste :

      groups = []
      uniquekeys = []
      data = sorted(data, key=keyfunc)
      for k, g in groupby(data, keyfunc):
          groups.append(list(g))      # Store group iterator as a list
          uniquekeys.append(k)

   "groupby()" est à peu près équivalente à :

      def groupby(iterable, key=None):
          # [k for k, g in groupby('AAAABBBCCDAABBB')] → A B C D A B
          # [list(g) for k, g in groupby('AAAABBBCCD')] → AAAA BBB CC D

          keyfunc = (lambda x: x) if key is None else key
          iterator = iter(iterable)
          exhausted = False

          def _grouper(target_key):
              nonlocal curr_value, curr_key, exhausted
              yield curr_value
              for curr_value in iterator:
                  curr_key = keyfunc(curr_value)
                  if curr_key != target_key:
                      return
                  yield curr_value
              exhausted = True

          try:
              curr_value = next(iterator)
          except StopIteration:
              return
          curr_key = keyfunc(curr_value)

          while not exhausted:
              target_key = curr_key
              curr_group = _grouper(target_key)
              yield curr_key, curr_group
              if curr_key == target_key:
                  for _ in curr_group:
                      pass

itertools.islice(iterable, stop)
itertools.islice(iterable, start, stop[, step])

   Make an iterator that returns selected elements from the iterable.
   Works like sequence slicing but does not support negative values
   for *start*, *stop*, or *step*.

   If *start* is zero or "None", iteration starts at zero.  Otherwise,
   elements from the iterable are skipped until *start* is reached.

   If *stop* is "None", iteration continues until the input is
   exhausted, if at all.  Otherwise, it stops at the specified
   position.

   If *step* is "None", the step defaults to one.  Elements are
   returned consecutively unless *step* is set higher than one which
   results in items being skipped.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def islice(iterable, *args):
          # islice('ABCDEFG', 2) → A B
          # islice('ABCDEFG', 2, 4) → C D
          # islice('ABCDEFG', 2, None) → C D E F G
          # islice('ABCDEFG', 0, None, 2) → A C E G

          s = slice(*args)
          start = 0 if s.start is None else s.start
          stop = s.stop
          step = 1 if s.step is None else s.step
          if start < 0 or (stop is not None and stop < 0) or step <= 0:
              raise ValueError

          indices = count() if stop is None else range(max(start, stop))
          next_i = start
          for i, element in zip(indices, iterable):
              if i == next_i:
                  yield element
                  next_i += step

   If the input is an iterator, then fully consuming the *islice*
   advances the input iterator by "max(start, stop)" steps regardless
   of the *step* value.

itertools.pairwise(iterable)

   Renvoie des paires successives d'éléments consécutifs de
   *iterable*.

   En toute logique, il y a une paire de moins que d'éléments dans
   l'itérable. Aucune paire n'est renvoyée si l'itérable a zéro ou une
   valeur.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def pairwise(iterable):
          # pairwise('ABCDEFG') → AB BC CD DE EF FG

          iterator = iter(iterable)
          a = next(iterator, None)

          for b in iterator:
              yield a, b
              a = b

   Ajouté dans la version 3.10.

itertools.permutations(iterable, r=None)

   Return successive *r* length permutations of elements from the
   *iterable*.

   Si *r* n'est pas spécifié ou vaut "None", alors *r* a pour valeur
   la longueur de *iterable* et toutes les permutations de longueur
   *r* possibles sont générées.

   The output is a subsequence of "product()" where entries with
   repeated elements have been filtered out.  The length of the output
   is given by "math.perm()" which computes "n! / (n - r)!" when "0 ≤
   r ≤ n" or zero when "r > n".

   The permutation tuples are emitted in lexicographic order according
   to the order of the input *iterable*.  If the input *iterable* is
   sorted, the output tuples will be produced in sorted order.

   Elements are treated as unique based on their position, not on
   their value.  If the input elements are unique, there will be no
   repeated values within a permutation.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def permutations(iterable, r=None):
          # permutations('ABCD', 2) → AB AC AD BA BC BD CA CB CD DA DB DC
          # permutations(range(3)) → 012 021 102 120 201 210

          pool = tuple(iterable)
          n = len(pool)
          r = n if r is None else r
          if r > n:
              return

          indices = list(range(n))
          cycles = list(range(n, n-r, -1))
          yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices[:r])

          while n:
              for i in reversed(range(r)):
                  cycles[i] -= 1
                  if cycles[i] == 0:
                      indices[i:] = indices[i+1:] + indices[i:i+1]
                      cycles[i] = n - i
                  else:
                      j = cycles[i]
                      indices[i], indices[-j] = indices[-j], indices[i]
                      yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices[:r])
                      break
              else:
                  return

itertools.product(*iterables, repeat=1)

   Cartesian product of the input iterables.

   À peu près équivalent à des boucles *for* imbriquées dans une
   expression de générateur. Par exemple "product(A, B)" renvoie la
   même chose que "((x, y) for x in A for y in B)".

   Les boucles imbriquées tournent comme un compteur kilométrique avec
   l'élément le plus à droite avançant à chaque itération. Ce motif
   défini un ordre lexicographique afin que, si les éléments des
   itérables en l'entrée sont ordonnés, les *n*-uplets produits le
   sont aussi.

   Pour générer le produit d'un itérable avec lui-même, spécifiez le
   nombre de répétitions avec le paramètre nommé optionnel *repeat*.
   Par exemple, "product(A, repeat=4)" est équivalent à "product(A, A,
   A, A)".

   Cette fonction est à peu près équivalente au code suivant, à la
   différence près que la vraie implémentation ne crée pas de
   résultats intermédiaires en mémoire :

      def product(*iterables, repeat=1):
          # product('ABCD', 'xy') → Ax Ay Bx By Cx Cy Dx Dy
          # product(range(2), repeat=3) → 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111

          if repeat < 0:
              raise ValueError('repeat argument cannot be negative')
          pools = [tuple(pool) for pool in iterables] * repeat

          result = [[]]
          for pool in pools:
              result = [x+[y] for x in result for y in pool]

          for prod in result:
              yield tuple(prod)

   "product()" commence par consommer totalement les itérables qui lui
   sont passés et les conserve en mémoire pour générer les produits.
   Par conséquent, cette fonction ne sert que sur des itérables finis.

itertools.repeat(object[, times])

   Crée un itérateur qui renvoie *object* à l'infini. S'exécute
   indéfiniment sauf si l'argument *times* est spécifié.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def repeat(object, times=None):
          # repeat(10, 3) → 10 10 10
          if times is None:
              while True:
                  yield object
          else:
              for i in range(times):
                  yield object

   Une utilisation courante de *repeat* est de fournir un flux
   constant de valeurs à *map* ou *zip* :

      >>> list(map(pow, range(10), repeat(2)))
      [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

itertools.starmap(function, iterable)

   Make an iterator that computes the *function* using arguments
   obtained from the *iterable*.  Used instead of "map()" when
   argument parameters have already been "pre-zipped" into tuples.

   The difference between "map()" and "starmap()" parallels the
   distinction between "function(a,b)" and "function(*c)". Roughly
   equivalent to:

      def starmap(function, iterable):
          # starmap(pow, [(2,5), (3,2), (10,3)]) → 32 9 1000
          for args in iterable:
              yield function(*args)

itertools.takewhile(predicate, iterable)

   Make an iterator that returns elements from the *iterable* as long
   as the *predicate* is true.  Roughly equivalent to:

      def takewhile(predicate, iterable):
          # takewhile(lambda x: x<5, [1,4,6,3,8]) → 1 4
          for x in iterable:
              if not predicate(x):
                  break
              yield x

   Note, the element that first fails the predicate condition is
   consumed from the input iterator and there is no way to access it.
   This could be an issue if an application wants to further consume
   the input iterator after *takewhile* has been run to exhaustion.
   To work around this problem, consider using more-itertools
   before_and_after() instead.

itertools.tee(iterable, n=2)

   Renvoie *n* itérateurs indépendants depuis un unique itérable.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def tee(iterable, n=2):
          if n < 0:
              raise ValueError
          if n == 0:
              return ()
          iterator = _tee(iterable)
          result = [iterator]
          for _ in range(n - 1):
              result.append(_tee(iterator))
          return tuple(result)

      class _tee:

          def __init__(self, iterable):
              it = iter(iterable)
              if isinstance(it, _tee):
                  self.iterator = it.iterator
                  self.link = it.link
              else:
                  self.iterator = it
                  self.link = [None, None]

          def __iter__(self):
              return self

          def __next__(self):
              link = self.link
              if link[1] is None:
                  link[0] = next(self.iterator)
                  link[1] = [None, None]
              value, self.link = link
              return value

   When the input *iterable* is already a tee iterator object, all
   members of the return tuple are constructed as if they had been
   produced by the upstream "tee()" call.  This "flattening step"
   allows nested "tee()" calls to share the same underlying data chain
   and to have a single update step rather than a chain of calls.

   The flattening property makes tee iterators efficiently peekable:

      def lookahead(tee_iterator):
           "Return the next value without moving the input forward"
           [forked_iterator] = tee(tee_iterator, 1)
           return next(forked_iterator)

      >>> iterator = iter('abcdef')
      >>> [iterator] = tee(iterator, 1)   # Make the input peekable
      >>> next(iterator)                  # Move the iterator forward
      'a'
      >>> lookahead(iterator)             # Check next value
      'b'
      >>> next(iterator)                  # Continue moving forward
      'b'

   "tee" iterators are not threadsafe. A "RuntimeError" may be raised
   when simultaneously using iterators returned by the same "tee()"
   call, even if the original *iterable* is threadsafe.

   Cet outil peut avoir besoin d'un stockage auxiliaire important (en
   fonction de la taille des données temporaires nécessaires). En
   général, si un itérateur utilise la majorité ou toute la donnée
   avant qu'un autre itérateur ne commence, il est plus rapide
   d'utiliser "list()" à la place de "tee()".

itertools.zip_longest(*iterables, fillvalue=None)

   Make an iterator that aggregates elements from each of the
   *iterables*.

   If the iterables are of uneven length, missing values are filled-in
   with *fillvalue*.  If not specified, *fillvalue* defaults to
   "None".

   Iteration continues until the longest iterable is exhausted.

   À peu près équivalent à :

      def zip_longest(*iterables, fillvalue=None):
          # zip_longest('ABCD', 'xy', fillvalue='-') → Ax By C- D-

          iterators = list(map(iter, iterables))
          num_active = len(iterators)
          if not num_active:
              return

          while True:
              values = []
              for i, iterator in enumerate(iterators):
                  try:
                      value = next(iterator)
                  except StopIteration:
                      num_active -= 1
                      if not num_active:
                          return
                      iterators[i] = repeat(fillvalue)
                      value = fillvalue
                  values.append(value)
              yield tuple(values)

   If one of the iterables is potentially infinite, then the
   "zip_longest()" function should be wrapped with something that
   limits the number of calls (for example "islice()" or
   "takewhile()").


Recettes *itertools*
====================

Cette section présente des recettes pour créer une vaste boîte à
outils en se servant des *itertools* existants comme des briques.

The primary purpose of the itertools recipes is educational.  The
recipes show various ways of thinking about individual tools — for
example, that "chain.from_iterable" is related to the concept of
flattening.  The recipes also give ideas about ways that the tools can
be combined — for example, how "starmap()" and "repeat()" can work
together.  The recipes also show patterns for using itertools with the
"operator" and "collections" modules as well as with the built-in
itertools such as "map()", "filter()", "reversed()", and
"enumerate()".

A secondary purpose of the recipes is to serve as an incubator.  The
"accumulate()", "compress()", and "pairwise()" itertools started out
as recipes.  Currently, the "sliding_window()", "derangements()", and
"sieve()" recipes are being tested to see whether they prove their
worth.

Substantially all of these recipes and many, many others can be
installed from the more-itertools project found on the Python Package
Index:

   python -m pip install more-itertools

Many of the recipes offer the same high performance as the underlying
toolset. 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.  High speed is retained by preferring "vectorized"
building blocks over the use of for-loops and *generators* which incur
interpreter overhead.
