python code to split into multiple nested list

I am having the following input data(temp_list1). I am trying to convert this input into a nested list as mentioned below(new_list). this input is part of vnstat command’s output.

Input:

temp_list1 = [(‘ eno1:’, “rn Oct ’19 10.09 GiB / 68.98 GiB / 79.08 GiB / 164.53 GiBrn yesterday 1.11 GiB / 7.35 GiB / 8.46 GiBrn today 432.51 MiB / 4.22 GiB / 4.65 GiB / 7.17 GiBrnr”), (‘ eno5:’, “rn Oct ’19 18.82 TiB / 18.39 TiB / 37.21 TiB / 77.43 TiBrn yesterday 2.65 TiB / 2.59 TiB / 5.24 TiBrn today 1.95 TiB / 1.90 TiB / 3.85 TiB / 5.95 TiBrnrn”)]

Expected output:

new_list[ ['eno1',["Oct '19",'10.09 GiB','68.98 GiB','79.08 GiB','164.53 GiB'],
                  ["yesterday",'1.11 GiB','7.35 GiB','8.46 GiB'],
                  ["today",'432.51 MiB','4.22 GiB','4.65 GiB','7.17 GiB]
          ],
          ['eno5',["Oct '19",'18.82 TiB','18.39 TiB','37.21 TiB','77.43 TiB'],
                  ["yesterday",'2.65 TiB','2.59 TiB','5.24 TiB'],
                  ["today",'1.95 TiB','1.90 TiB','3.85 TiB','5.95 TiB']
          ]
        ]

I am trying to split the input data using the python code but do not know how to do it.

 temp_list2 = []
 temp_list1 = [(' eno1:', "rn       Oct '19     10.09 GiB  /   68.98 GiB  /   79.08 GiB  /  164.53 GiBrn     yesterday      1.11 GiB  /    7.35 GiB  /    8.46 GiBrn         today    432.51 MiB  /    4.22 GiB  /    4.65 GiB  /    7.17 GiBrnr"), (' eno5:', "rn       Oct '19     18.82 TiB  /   18.39 TiB  /   37.21 TiB  /   77.43 TiBrn     yesterday      2.65 TiB  /    2.59 TiB  /    5.24 TiBrn         today      1.95 TiB  /    1.90 TiB  /    3.85 TiB  /    5.95 TiBrnrn")]

 for i in temp_list1:
   temp_list2.append i.split('?')
 print (temp_list2)

Answer

You can try this.

temp_list1 = [(' eno1:', "rn Oct '19 10.09 GiB / 68.98 GiB / 79.08 GiB / 164.53 GiBrn yesterday 1.11 GiB / 7.35 GiB / 8.46 GiBrn today 432.51 MiB / 4.22 GiB / 4.65 GiB / 7.17 GiBrnr"), 
              (' eno5:', "rn Oct '19 18.82 TiB / 18.39 TiB / 37.21 TiB / 77.43 TiBrn yesterday 2.65 TiB / 2.59 TiB / 5.24 TiBrn today 1.95 TiB / 1.90 TiB / 3.85 TiB / 5.95 TiBrnrn")]


new_list =[ [ b[0].strip(), [ c.strip().split(" / ") for c in b[1] if c.strip() ]] 
        for b in [[a[0], a[1].split("rn")] 
            for a in temp_list1] ]

for a in new_list:
    for b in a[1]:
        x = b[0].replace(" '", "'").split()
        b[0:1] = [x[0].replace("'", " '"), ' '.join(x[1:])]

print ( new_list)


#Result:
# [
#    [ 'eno1:',[
#          [ "Oct '19", '10.09 GiB', '68.98 GiB', '79.08 GiB', '164.53 GiB'],
#          [ 'yesterday', '1.11 GiB', '7.35 GiB', '8.46 GiB'],
#          [ 'today', '432.51 MiB', '4.22 GiB', '4.65 GiB', '7.17 GiB']
#       ]
#    ],
#    [ 'eno5:',[
#          [ "Oct '19", '18.82 TiB', '18.39 TiB', '37.21 TiB', '77.43 TiB'],
#          [ 'yesterday', '2.65 TiB', '2.59 TiB', '5.24 TiB'],
#          [ 'today', '1.95 TiB', '1.90 TiB', '3.85 TiB', '5.95 TiB']
