Python element-wise tuple operations like sum

Question

Is there anyway to get tuple operations in Python to work like this    gt  gt  gt  a    1 2 3   gt  gt  gt  b    3 2 1   gt  gt  gt  a   b  4 4 4    instead of    gt  gt  gt  a    1 2 3   gt  gt  gt  b    3 2 1   gt  gt  gt  a   b  1 2 3 3 2 1    I know it works like that because the   add   and   mul   methods are defined to work like that  So the only way would be to redefine them

import operator tuple map operator add  a  b

Yes  But you can t redefine built-in types  You have to subclass them    class MyTuple tuple       def   add   self  other            if len self     len other                raise ValueError  tuple lengths don t match            return MyTuple x   y for  x  y  in zip self  other

Sort of combined the first two answers  with a tweak to ironfroggy s code so that it returns a tuple   import operator  class stuple tuple       def   add   self  other           return self   class   map operator add  self  other             obviously leaving out checking lengths   gt  gt  gt  a   stuple  1 2 3    gt  gt  gt  b   stuple  3 2 1    gt  gt  gt  a   b  4  4  4    Note  using self   class   instead of stuple to ease subclassing

from numpy import array  a   array   1 2 3    b   array   3 2 1     print a   b  gives array  4 4 4    See http   www scipy org Tentative NumPy Tutorial

Here is another handy solution if you are already using numpy  It is compact and the addition operation can be replaced by any numpy expression  import numpy as np tuple np array a    b

even simpler and without using map  you can do that   gt  gt  gt  tuple sum i  for i in zip  1  2  3    3  2  1     4  4  4

I currently subclass the  tuple  class to overload   - and    I find it makes the code beautiful and writing the code easier   class tupleN tuple       def   add   self  other           if len self     len other                return NotImplemented         else               return tupleN x y for x y in zip self other       def   sub   self  other           if len self     len other                return NotImplemented         else               return tupleN x-y for x y in zip self other       def   mul   self  other           if len self     len other                return NotImplemented         else               return tupleN x y for x y in zip self other     t1   tupleN  1 3 3   t2   tupleN  1 3 4   print t1   t2  t1 - t2  t1   t2  t1   t1 - t1 - t1   2  6  7   0  0  -1   1  9  12   0  0  0

Generator comprehension could be used instead of map  Built-in map function is not obsolete but it s less readable for most people than list generator dict comprehension  so I d recommend not to use map function in general   tuple p q for p  q in zip a  b
