How to separate a Python list into two lists, according to some aspect of the elements

Question

I have a list like this:

[[8, \"Plot\", \"Sunday\"], [1, \"unPlot\", \"Monday\"], [12, \"Plot\", \"Monday\"], [10, \"Plot\", \"Tuesday\"], [4, \"unPlot\", \"         


        

Answer 1

You could simply go through the list, and check if the value is "Plot" like this:

for i in List:
  if i[1]=="Plot":
    list1.append(i)
  else:
    list2.append(i)
