Identify groups of continuous numbers in a list

Question

I\'d like to identify groups of continuous numbers in a list, so that:

myfunc([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20])

Returns:

Answer 1

The "naive" solution which I find somewhat readable atleast.

x = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 25, 26, 28, 51, 52, 57]

def group(L):
    first = last = L[0]
    for n in L[1:]:
        if n - 1 == last: # Part of the group, bump the end
            last = n
        else: # Not part of the group, yield current group and start a new
            yield first, last
            first = last = n
    yield first, last # Yield the last group


>>>print list(group(x))
[(2, 5), (12, 17), (22, 22), (25, 26), (28, 28), (51, 52), (57, 57)]
