>> list(adjacent(lambda x: x == 3, range(6), distance=2)) [(False, 0), (True, 1), (True, 2), (True, 3), (True, 4), (True, 5)] This is useful for contextualizing the results of a search function. For example, a code comparison tool might want to identify lines that have changed, but also surrounding lines to give the viewer of the diff context. The predicate function will only be called once for each item in the iterable. See also :func:`groupby_transform`, which can be used with this function to group ranges of items with the same `bool` value. r
