I have a list that starts out as a two dimensional list
I convert it to a 1D list by:
b = sum(a, [])
any idea how I can take be and convert it back to a 2D list?

(you could of course keep a pointer to the original 2D list...)
anyway, to split a 1D list up in pieces, use slice notation. e.g.
step = 10
a = []
for i in range(0, len(b), step):
a.append(b[i:i+step])
or, in one line:
a = [b[i:i+step] for i in range(0, len(b), step)]
for more on list slicing, see the Python tutorial.

Alternatively, you could use real multidimensiona l arrays instead of faking it
with lists.

pyarray is a pure-Python single-module implementation of a multi-dimensional
array type.
Download from http://svn.brownspencer.com/pyarray/trunk/pyarray.py
Simple example:
import pyarray
a = pyarray.ndlist([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],[[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]])
aarray([[[ 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6]],[[ 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12]]]) a.flatarray([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12])Tests at: http://svn.brownspencer.com/pyarray/...est_pyarray.py
User docs at: http://svn.brownspencer.com/pyarray/...rray_usage.txtpyarray.ListVie w and pyarray.ArrayVi ew offer a substantial subset of
numpy.ArrayType functionality, by wrapping standard python 'list' and
'array.array' respectively.Key features include:
* Views: all subscripting operations apart from individual cell access
access return views to existing 'live' data
* Extended Indexing: slicing, arbitrary 'takes', index arrays etc...
* Unlimited re-shaping: while still addressing one data-source
* Elementwise binary operations: all basic arithmetic and comparison
operations
* Data broadcasting: allows assignment and binary operations between
views of different shapes
* Friendly __repr__: work safely with big arrays at the interactive prompt
Another example:
tmp = pyarray.arange( 256)**2
a = pyarray.ndlist([tmp]*256)
aarray([[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025],
[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025],
[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025],
...,
[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025],
[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025],
[ 0, 1, 4, ..., 64009, 64516, 65025]])
a.transpose()array([[ 0, 0, 0, ..., 0, 0, 0],
[ 1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 1],
[ 4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4],
...,
[64009, 64009, 64009, ..., 64009, 64009, 64009],
[64516, 64516, 64516, ..., 64516, 64516, 64516],
[65025, 65025, 65025, ..., 65025, 65025, 65025]])
a[:10,:10]array([[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],
[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],
[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],
[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],
[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],
[ 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81],

That's fine, too. :-)
It's just that trying to do it *again* is a silly waste of time.

I'm wondering if your solution fits my requirements... .
I need to be able to pass these objects which are python lists
to a pyObjC (on MAC OS X) framework. At the moment the
framework is expecting NSArray or NSData as input and this works
for 'generic' python lists.... I don't know about numpy arrays...
