cf.flat

cf.flat(x)

Return an iterator over an arbitrarily nested sequence.

Parameters :

x : scalar or arbitrarily nested sequence

The arbitrarily nested sequence to be flattened. Note that a If x is a scalar then this is equivalent to passing a single element sequence containing the scalar.

Returns :

out : generator

An iterator over flattened sequence.

Examples

>>> for a in cf.flat([1, [2, [3, 4]]]):
...     print a,
1 2 3 4

>>> for a in cf.flat(['a', ['bc', ['def', 'ghij']]]):
...     print a, ' ',
a bc def ghij

>>> for a in cf.flat(2004):
...     print a
2004

>>> for a in cf.flat('abcdefghij'):
...     print a,
abcdefghij

>>> f
