Python: How do I split a list into multiple by comparing its contents?

Question

I have an list such as:

list = [[1, 3, 'orange'], [3, 5, 'apple'], [2, 3, 'orange'], [7, 9, 'pear']]

and i would like to convert it into multiple lists such as:

list1 = [[1, 3, 'orange'], [2, 3, 'orange']]
list2 = [3, 5, 'apple']
list3 = [7, 9, 'pear']

Thank you.

Answer 1

1. You can iterate over list.
2. Now check if your filter element is present inside list.

for l in list:
    if filter_element in l:
        filtered_list1.append(l)
    elif condition2:
        filtered_list2.append(l)

If you want to do this more aesthetically use can use filter from functools.
