"""Yield groups of consecutive items using :func:`itertools.groupby`.
The *ordering* function determines whether two items are adjacent by
returning their position.
By default, the ordering function is the identity function. This is
suitable for finding runs of numbers:
>>> iterable = [1, 10, 11, 12, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 40]
>>> for group in consecutive_groups(iterable):
... print(list(group))
[1]
[10, 11, 12]
[20]
[30, 31, 32, 33]
[40]
For finding runs of adjacent letters, try using the :meth:`index` method
of a string of letters:
>>> from string import ascii_lowercase
>>> iterable = 'abcdfgilmnop'
>>> ordering = ascii_lowercase.index
>>> for group in consecutive_groups(iterable, ordering):
... print(list(group))
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
['f', 'g']
['i']
['l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p']
Each group of consecutive items is an iterator that shares it source with
*iterable*. When an an output group is advanced, the previous group is
no longer available unless its elements are copied (e.g., into a ``list``).
>>> iterable = [1, 2, 11, 12, 21, 22]
>>> saved_groups = []
>>> for group in consecutive_groups(iterable):

For example, to do progressive division:

"""Wrap an iterator to allow for seeking backward and forward. This
progressively caches the items in the source iterable so they can be
re-visited.
Call :meth:`seek` with an index to seek to that position in the source
iterable.
To "reset" an iterator, seek to ``0``:
>>> from itertools import count
>>> it = seekable((str(n) for n in count()))
>>> next(it), next(it), next(it)
('0', '1', '2')
>>> it.seek(0)
>>> next(it), next(it), next(it)

'10'
>>> it.seek(20) # Seeking past the end of the source isn't a problem
>>> list(it)
[]
>>> it.seek(0) # Resetting works even after hitting the end
>>> next(it), next(it), next(it)

Call :meth:`peek` to look ahead one item without advancing the iterator:
>>> it = seekable('1234')
>>> it.peek()
'1'
>>> list(it)
['1', '2', '3', '4']
>>> it.peek(default='empty')
'empty'
Before the iterator is at its end, calling :func:`bool` on it will return
``True``. After it will return ``False``:
>>> it = seekable('5678')
>>> bool(it)
True
>>> list(it)
['5', '6', '7', '8']
>>> bool(it)
False
You may view the contents of the cache with the :meth:`elements` method.
That returns a :class:`SequenceView`, a view that updates automatically:
>>> it = seekable((str(n) for n in range(10)))
>>> next(it), next(it), next(it)
('0', '1', '2')
>>> elements = it.elements()
>>> elements
SequenceView(['0', '1', '2'])
>>> next(it)
'3'

By default, the cache grows as the source iterable progresses, so beware of
wrapping very large or infinite iterables. Supply *maxlen* to limit the
size of the cache (this of course limits how far back you can seek).
