Filter list's elements by type of each element

Question

I have list with different types of data (string, int, etc.). I need to create a new list with, for example, only int elements, and another list with only string elements. H

Answer 1

Sort the list by type, and then use groupby to group it:

>>> import itertools
>>> l = ['a', 1, 2, 'b', 'e', 9.2, 'l']
>>> l.sort(key=lambda x: str(type(x)))
>>> lists = [list(v) for k,v in itertools.groupby(l, lambda x: str(type(x)))]
>>> lists
[[9.2], [1, 2], ['a', 'b', 'e', 'l']]
