#30930 — Question on Python Split

Dear Group,

Suppose I have a string as, 

"Project Gutenberg has 36000 free ebooks for Kindle Android iPad iPhone."

I am terming it as,

str1= "Project Gutenberg has 36000 free ebooks for Kindle Android iPad iPhone." 

I am working now with a split function,

str_words=str1.split()
so, I would get the result as,
['Project', 'Gutenberg', 'has', '36000', 'free', 'ebooks', 'for', 'Kindle', 'Android', 'iPad', 'iPhone.']

But I am looking for,

['Project Gutenberg', 'has 36000', 'free ebooks', 'for Kindle', 'Android iPad', 'iPhone']

This can be done if we assign the string as,

str1= "Project Gutenberg, has 36000, free ebooks, for Kindle, Android iPad, iPhone,"

and then assign the split statement as,

str1_word=str1.split(",")

would produce,

['Project Gutenberg', ' has 36000', ' free ebooks', ' for Kindle', ' Android iPad', ' iPhone', '']

My objective generally is achieved, but I want to convert each group here in tuple so that it can be embedded, like,

[(Project Gutenberg), (has 36000), (free ebooks), (for Kindle), ( Android iPad), (iPhone), '']

as I see if I assign it as

for i in str1_word:
       print i
       ti=tuple(i)
       print ti

I am not getting the desired result.

If I work again from tuple point, I get it as,
>>> tup1=('Project Gutenberg')
>>> tup2=('has 36000')
>>> tup3=('free ebooks')
>>> tup4=('for Kindle')
>>> tup5=('Android iPad')
>>> tup6=tup1+tup2+tup3+tup4+tup5
>>> print tup6
Project Gutenberghas 36000free ebooksfor KindleAndroid iPad

Then how may I achieve it? If any one of the learned members can kindly guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Subhabrata.

NB: Apology for some minor errors.

It can also be done like this:

 >>> str1 = "Project Gutenberg has 36000 free ebooks for Kindle Android 
iPad iPhone."
 >>> # Splitting into words:
 >>> s = str1.split()
 >>> s
['Project', 'Gutenberg', 'has', '36000', 'free', 'ebooks', 'for', 
'Kindle', 'Android', 'iPad', 'iPhone.']
 >>> # Using slicing with a stride of 2 gives:
 >>> s[0 : : 2]
['Project', 'has', 'free', 'for', 'Android', 'iPhone.']
 >>> # Similarly for the other words gives:
 >>> s[1 : : 2]
['Gutenberg', '36000', 'ebooks', 'Kindle', 'iPad']
 >>> # Combining them in pairs, and adding an extra empty string in case 
there's an odd number of words:
 >>> [(x + ' ' + y).rstrip() for x, y in zip(s[0 : : 2], s[1 : : 2] + [''])]
['Project Gutenberg', 'has 36000', 'free ebooks', 'for Kindle', 'Android 
iPad', 'iPhone.']

It's the comma that makes the tuple, not the parentheses, except for the 
empty tuple which is just empty parentheses, i.e. ().

 >>> [((x + ' ' + y).rstrip(), ) for x, y in zip(s[0 : : 2], s[1 : : 2] 
+ [''])]
[('Project Gutenberg',), ('has 36000',), ('free ebooks',), ('for 
Kindle',), ('Android iPad',), ('iPhone.',)]

Is this what you want?

If you want it to be a list of pairs of words, then:

 >>> [(x, y) for x, y in zip(s[0 : : 2], s[1 : : 2] + [''])]
[('Project', 'Gutenberg'), ('has', '36000'), ('free', 'ebooks'), ('for', 
'Kindle'), ('Android', 'iPad'), ('iPhone.', '')]

These are strings, not tuples. Numbered names like this are a bad idea.

>>>> tup6=tup1+tup2+tup3+tup4+tup5

tup1=('Project Gutenberg')
tup2=('has 36000')
tup3=('free ebooks')
tup4=('for Kindle')
tup5=('Android iPad')
print(' '.join((tup1,tup2,tup3,tup4,tup5)))

 >>>
Project Gutenberg has 36000 free ebooks for Kindle Android iPad

	Is splitting a sentence at every other word really what you want? Or
are you intending, at some point, to have the splitting take place on
syntactic/semantic features (subject, verb, object...).

	If the latter, you may be in need of some Natural Language
Processing (NLP) libraries/algorithms. (First google hit:
http://nltk.org/ )

Thank you for nice answer. Your codes and discussions always inspire me.
