Flatten a list in python [duplicate]

by

There is a very simple way of doing this with list comprehensions. This example has been documented in the python documentation here

>>> # flatten a list using a listcomp with two 'for'
>>> vec = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]]
>>> [num for elem in vec for num in elem]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Here is the solution that you would want to implement. As per your example, this is the simplest solution

In [59]: your_list = [[('video1',4)], [('video2',5),('video3',8)], [('video1',5)], [('video5', 7), ('video6',9)]]

In [60]: improved_list = [num for elem in your_list for num in elem]

In [61]: improved_list
Out[61]: 
[('video1', 4),
 ('video2', 5),
 ('video3', 8),
 ('video1', 5),
 ('video5', 7),
 ('video6', 9)]
