It has enough hint - and you can easily convert it to Python.

def avg_mark_lowest_id_student( data_file ){
  students = dict() //  dict 
  lowest_student_id = num("inf")
  for ( line : file(data_file) ){
    #(id, sub, marks) = line.split("\\W+")
    id = int(id) // cast to int
    if ( id !@ students ){
      if ( id < lowest_student_id ){
        lowest_student_id = id // update the lowest id
      }
      students[id] = list()
    }
    students[id] += marks
  }
  data_list = students[lowest_student_id]
  tot = sum( data_list )
  avg = float(tot)/size(data_list)
}

Moderator, please delete my first two posts. They did not show up when I posted and refreshed. It wasn't until I created an account that all 3 of my attempts showed up.
Thanks!

let getMarkOfLowerId2 = function(data) {
	let map = new Map();
	let minId = Infinity;

	while (data.length > 0) {
		let [ id, className, mark ] = data.pop().split(',');

		minId = id < minId ? id : minId;

		if (!map.has(id)) {
			map.set(id, { total: 0, count: 0 });

		let tempo = map.get(id);
		tempo.total += +mark;
		tempo.count++;
	}

	let smallStudent = map.get(minId);

	return Math.floor(smallStudent.total / smallStudent.count);
