Deep flattens a list.
Use recursion.
Define a function, `spread`, that uses either `list.extend()` or `list.append()` on each element in a list to flatten it.
Use `list.extend()` with an empty list and the `spread` function to flatten a list.
Recursively flatten each element that is a list.
Use `isinstance()` with `collections.abc.Iterable` to check if an element is iterable.
If it is, apply `deep_flatten()` recursively, otherwise return `[lst]`.
```py
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
from collections.abc import Iterable
def deep_flatten(lst):
result = []
result.extend(
spread(list(map(lambda x: deep_flatten(x) if type(x) == list else x, lst))))
return result
def deep_flatten(lst):
return [a for i in lst for a in deep_flatten(i)] if isinstance(lst, Iterable) else [lst]
```
