iter_window.py

A sliding window iterator with padding.

Synopsis

Module with the function window that returns a sliding window iterator with padding.

def window( iterable, left, right, padding=None, step=1 )
    """Make a sliding window iterator with padding.
    
    Iterate over `iterable` with a step size `step` producing a tuple for each element:
        ( ... left items, item, right_items ... )
    such that item visits all elements of `iterable` `step`-steps aside, the length of 
    the left_items and right_items is `left` and `right` respectively, and any missing 
    elements at the start and the end of the iteration are padded with the `padding`
    item.

    For example:
    
   >>> list( window( range(1,6), 1, 2 ) )
   [(None, 1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3, 4), (2, 3, 4, 5), (3, 4, 5, None), (4, 5, None, None)]

    """

Example

Iterate over the first 5 positive integers with a window, padded with None items, that extends 1 item to the left and 2 to the right:

>>> list( window( range(1,6), 1, 2 ) )
[(None, 1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3, 4), (2, 3, 4, 5), (3, 4, 5, None), (4, 5, None, None)]
