How to Aggregate by Value in a List Using Python

Grouping similar items or values in a list is a common challenge in programming. In Python, you might find yourself needing to aggregate data based on specific criteria, such as the first element of a sub-list. In this guide, we'll explore how to achieve that using the pandas library in conjunction with the defaultdict. Let's break down the problem and provide a clear, step-by-step solution.

Understanding the Problem

Given a list of tuples containing various categories and values, your goal is to group these tuples based on the first element of the sub-lists which, in our example, is the country 'Germany'. The input data looks like this:
