[Baypiggies] Fwd: nested list help

[Vikram K]

I received two emails from list members which the member did not cc to the
mailing list. I've sent my thanks separately, but here is what i was sent:

Method 1:
mylist = [['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], ['NM100', 10, 11, 12, 13], ['NM200', 15,
16, 17]]

print mylist
print '&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&'

d= {}
for  i in mylist:
    d.setdefault(i[0],[])
    d[i[0]].extend(i[1:])
-------

Method 2 (similar to method 1 actually):
z = [['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], ['NM100', 10, 11, 12, 13], ['NM200', 15, 16,
17]]

print z

print '*******************'

d = dict()

for i in z:
  if i[0] in d:
    d[i[0]].extend(i[1:])
  else:
    d[i[0]] = i[1:]

print d
