[Tutor] Possible with list comprehension?

[Stewart Midwinter]

Aah!  A nested list comprehension.  I hadn't considered that. Thanks, your solution is both concise and easy to read. 

and, oops, you're right, I was thinking of median but saying mean. 

cheers

That is the median, not the mean. For this approach to work you have to 
sort dataDict.items(), in general dict keys and values are not in any 
obvious order. Fortunately it is easy to do this:
prods = [ key for key,val in sorted(dataDict.items()) for i in range(val) ]
