This question has been answered before for Python 2.x. I can not get it to work in Python 3.
I changed izip
to zip
, because I understood izip was removed from Python 3.
from itertools import tee, islice, chain
def previous_and_next(some_iterable):
prevs, items, nexts = tee(some_iterable, 3)
prevs = chain([None], prevs)
nexts = chain(islice(nexts, 1, None), [None])
print(zip(prevs, items, nexts))
a = list(range(1,10))
previous_and_next(a)
Running this gives me <zip object at 0x7f338e4ea638>
What is wrong with this code?
