[Tutor] easy way to pupulate a dict with functions

Hi, I was playing with the code below, and I was wondering if there was a way to populate the dictionary called 'commands' (in the function 'check_command()'). Suppose I would add another function, which I would also like to store as a value in 'commands', could it simply be programmed, or woul

Hmmm.. First of all.. In the non working code: a = LVS_Site() z = sys.argv[2] b = b["%s" % (sys.argv[1])] c = a.show(b) . Did you really mean b = b["%s" % (sys.argv[1])] or perhaps b = z["%s" % (sys.argv[1])] Also, I can't see why your doing the string formatting in there: b = z[sys.a

I don't think there's a Python command to do this. You can always print enough newlines to clear your view of the window: print "\n" * 80 or use os.system to issue a command the shell/terminal/cmd will understand import os os.system("cls") or import os os.system("clear") I resently made a

Well, os.listdir doesn't include "." or ".." anyway as you can see here So, just a simplelen(os.listdir(my_directory))will suffice.. A couple more points: -It's better looking and more readable (to me that means Pythonic) to store that
