I have an iterable that returns multiple values as a list. In this case, I only care about one of the values in each iteration. As a concrete example: This produces: But I really just want: I could just do: or: or: but it feels like it would be nicer to tell Python that I’m uninterested in all the other

Python Pandas Loop through Dictionary Keys (which are tuples) and plot variables against each other
I have a correlation matrix (in the form of a DataFrame) from which I return a Series which is the top n correlated pairs of columns and the value of the correlation: See this for an example of what I mean. I take the resulting Series object and then cast as a dictionary like so: The resulting keys of this
pandas apply function that returns multiple values to rows in pandas dataframe
I have a dataframe with a timeindex and 3 columns containing the coordinates of a 3D vector: I would like to apply a transformation to each row that also returns a vector but if I do: I end up with a Pandas series whose elements are tuples. This is beacause apply will take the result of myfunc without unpacking it.
What do the * (star) and ** (double star) operators mean in a function call?
In code like zip(*x) or f(**k), what do the * and ** respectively mean? How does Python implement that behaviour, and what are the performance implications? See also: Expanding tuples into arguments. Please use that one to close questions where OP needs to use * on an argument and doesn’t know it exists. Answer A single star * unpacks a
unpacking an array of arguments in php
Python provides the “*” operator for unpacking a list of tuples and giving them to a function as arguments, like so: This is equivalent to: Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve this in PHP? Some googling for variations of “PHP Unpack” hasn’t immediately turned up anything.. perhaps it’s called something different in PHP? Answer You can
