[Baypiggies] Baypiggies snippets

[Keith Dart ♂]

Maybe Baypiggies can have a Python snippets night? or a snippets area
on the web site.

Here is one I recently did. Any comments? Improvements?

def flatten(alist):
    rv = []
    for val in alist:
        if isinstance(val, list):
            rv.extend(flatten(val))
        else:
            rv.append(val)
    return rv


This takes a list that may have embedded lists, to any depth, and
flattens it to a single list.
