Flatten the list to “remove the brackets” using a nested list comprehension. This will un-nest each list stored in your list of lists!
list_of_lists = [[180.0], [173.8], [164.2], [156.5], [147.2], [138.2]]
flattened = [val for sublist in list_of_lists for val in sublist]
Nested list comprehensions evaluate in the same manner that they unwrap (i.e. add newline and tab for each new loop. So in this case:
flattened = [val for sublist in list_of_lists for val in sublist]
is equivalent to:
flattened = []
for sublist in list_of_lists:
for val in sublist:
flattened.append(val)
The big difference is that the list comp evaluates MUCH faster than the unraveled loop and eliminates the append calls!
If you have multiple items in a sublist the list comp will even flatten that. ie
>>> list_of_lists = [[180.0, 1, 2, 3], [173.8], [164.2], [156.5], [147.2], [138.2]]
>>> flattened = [val for sublist in list_of_lists for val in sublist]
>>> flattened
[180.0, 1, 2, 3, 173.8, 164.2, 156.5, 147.2,138.2]
