How to flatten a hetrogenous list of list into a single list in python?

Question

I have a list of objects where objects can be lists or scalars. I want an flattened list with only scalars. Eg:

L = [35,53,[525,6743],64,63,[743,754,757]]
ou         


        

Answer 1

outputList = []
for e in l:
    if type(e) == list:
        outputList += e
    else:
        outputList.append(e)

>>> outputList
[35, 53, 525, 6743, 64, 63, 743, 754, 757]
