oList

A Python 'Object List'. It's basically your standard python list that additionally lets you attach data to it that doesn't affect the actual list items itself.

Treat the oList as you would a normal list:

my_list = oList([-10,3,4,-11,7,14])
my_list.sort()
for list_item in my_list:
    print(str(list_item))

oList Methods:

oList.attach('data') # can be of any type
oList.get_attachments() # returns a list or the object itself if the attachments are only 1
oList.as_dict(_attachments=True) # returns a dict, access values being index, _attachment=True will add attachment data to the dict
oList.as_tuple() # returns tuple

Example Usage:

intel_list = oList([
    'i5-9600k',
    'i9-10910',
    'i9-10900K',
]).attach({
    'carrier': 'Intel',
    'description': 'A nice little list of some intel Cpus.'
})

ryzen_list = oList([
    'Ryzen 3 1200',
    'Ryzen 5 1400',
    'Ryzen 5 3600x'
]).attach({
    'carrier': 'AMD',
    'description': 'A nice little list of some Ryzen Cpus.'
})

cpu_list = oList([intel_list, ryzen_list]).attach('List of Intel and Ryzen Cpus')

# .... later on in the program ....

print("--- " + cpu_list.get_attachments() + " ---\n")

for cpus in cpu_list:
    print(cpus.get_attachments())
    for cpu in cpus:
        print(cpus.get_attachments()['carrier'] + ' - ' + cpu)
    print('')


# OUTPUT:

#
# {'carrier': 'AMD', 'description': 'A nice little list of some Ryzen Cpus.'}
