按值遍历多个列表

Question

我有一堆可交互对象(其条目代表基因组上的位置(被排序。我想同时处理它们，以便处理所有在特定位置有数据的数据，而那些没有数据的被跳过。

一个相当笨拙的解决方案是

import sys
it1 = iter([0, 1, 3, 5])    
it2 = iter([0, 2, 4, 5])    
it3 = iter([3, 5, 7])    
def do_stuff(objects, values):                                              
print("iterables [%s] have value %s"  % (objects, values[0]))           
def iterate_many(iterables):                                                
cur_ele = [next(i) for i in iterables]                                  
is_finished = [False for i in iterables]                                
while not all(is_finished):                                             
lowest_val = min(cur_ele)                                           
lowest_obj = [e for e in cur_ele if e == lowest_val]                
to_increment = [i for i, e in enumerate(cur_ele) if e == lowest_val 
and not is_finished[i]]                                         
yield do_stuff(to_increment, lowest_obj)                            
for i in to_increment:                                              
try:                                                            
cur_ele[i] = next(iterables[i])                             
except StopIteration:                                           
is_finished[i] = True                                       
cur_ele[i] = sys.maxsize                                    

这导致

In [76]: for i in iterate_many( [it1, it2, it3]): pass
iterables [[0, 1]] have value 0                       
iterables [[0]] have value 1                          
iterables [[1]] have value 2                          
iterables [[0, 2]] have value 3                       
iterables [[1]] have value 4                          
iterables [[0, 1, 2]] have value 5                    
iterables [[2]] have value 7                          

有没有更简单/更pythonic的方式来实现这一目标？

Answer 1

from itertools import zip_longest
for a, b, c in zip_longest(it1, it2, it3)
print a, b, c
