What I want to do is:
1) find the all the numbers belong the same string like ('y', 'y') ('x', 'y'), or ('z', 'z') . For example: Let's consider ('y','y')
('y', 'y') has 4.952980000000065e-07+7.341504999999984e-07j and
('y', 'y') has(6.54755323e-08+5.918856850000006e-10j and
('y', 'y') has -2.0047800000000196e-10-3.513209979e-06j, and
('y', 'y') has -6.740733099999971e-11+2.3753205370000002e-08
2) multiply with theirself and then sum all of them:
4.952980000000065e-07+7.341504999999984e-07j * 4.952980000000065e-07+7.341504999999984e-07j + 6.54755323e-08+5.918856850000006e-10j*6.54755323e-08+5.918856850000006e-10j+ -2.0047800000000196e-10-3.513209979e-06j*-2.0047800000000196e-10-3.513209979e-06j + -6.740733099999971e-11+2.3753205370000002e-08 * -6.740733099999971e-11+2.3753205370000002e-08
3)Do the same things for all different name like yy, xy,yz etc..

How to do that in efficient way in python?

[Gribouillis]

You could use a dictionary

1 2 3 4 5 6

from collections import defaultdict d = defaultdict(complex) for c, name, n in mylist:     d[name] += c * c   print(d)

[DeaD_EyE]

Identical code with better names and as a function.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

from collections import defaultdict     def calc(data):     results = defaultdict(complex)     for value, symbols, mysterious_number in data:         results[symbols] += value ** 2     return results

«more descriptive» names would be more accurate,

Thank you very much
This does the job!!
