Good point... so I guess we could use itertools.tee here and get the same kind of effect of using a deque... (untested):
def mvavg(v, n):
windows = [islice(w, off, None) for off, w in enumerate(tee(v, n))]
return [sum(window) / n for window in zip(*windows)]
def mvavg(v, n):
windows = [islice(w, off, None) for off, w in enumerate(tee(v, n))]
return [sum(window) / n for window in zip(*windows)]

Hahaha... just found an old post of mine that used deque on SO: stackoverflow.com/questions/19...
Maybe something like that would be a better use of a deque example? That or something that involves shifting things efficiently with/without a fixed size and not getting windows involved per se?

How to pull X amounts of previous data into row in CSV
I have a very large CSV of data, and I need to append previous data to each row for each name in the column 2 for dates previous to the current one stipultated in column2. I think the easiest way to

Knocked this up quickly sticking to itertools instead of collections.deque so probably not 100% 🤔
def mvavg(v, n):
windows = [islice(v, x, None) for x in range(n)]
return [sum(window) / n for window in zip(*windows)]
def mvavg(v, n):
windows = [islice(v, x, None) for x in range(n)]
return [sum(window) / n for window in zip(*windows)]

Yeah... it's a bit meh when you think an interview has gone well and don't get it... but it's somewhat soul destroying not even getting interviews... Things have a way of turning out though - hopefully sooner rather than later 🤞

I imagine the most used are upper, lower, title, capitalize - then you've got the not often used casefold and swapcase. I suppose at a push that translate could technically be considered meeting the requirement.
