it is not clear for me how reduce can use to reduce with lambda to reduce list tuples with different keys. My solution is can reduce list of tuples, but it uses function, which is perhaps too troublesome to do in pure lambda, if not impossible.
def reduce_tuple_list(tl):
import operator as op
import functools as fun
import itertools as it
# sort the list for groupby
tl = sorted(tl,key=op.itemgetter(0))
# this function with reduce lists with the same key
def reduce_with_same_key(tl):
def add_tuple(t1,t2):
k1, tl1 = t1
k2, tl2 = t2
if k1 == k2:
l1,r1 = tl1
l2,r2 = tl2
l = l1+l2
r = r1+r2
return k1,(l,r)
else:
return t1,t2
return tuple(fun.reduce(add_tuple, tl))
# group by keys
groups = []
for k, g in it.groupby(tl, key=op.itemgetter(0)):
groups.append(list(g))
new_list = []
# we need to add only lists whose length is greater than one
for el in groups:
if len(el) > 1: # reduce
new_list.append(reduce_with_same_key(el))
else: # single tuple without another one with the same key
new_list.append(el[0])
return new_list
testr = [('r1', (1, 1)), ('r3', (11, 71)), ('r1', (1, 5)),('r2', (1, 1)),('r3', (1, 1))]
>>> reduce_tuple_list(testr)
[('r1', (2, 6)), ('r2', (1, 1)), ('r3', (12, 72))]
