Re: [Tutor] Importing sub modules
You could just use from os import path and use it like path.xxx I don't know know if it saves on overhead or not.

Re: [Tutor] Looking for feedback on improving my code.
Pretty cool how that site makes code formating wotk on my bb. The big thing I've noticed is, and I'm a total newbie btw, mind cap conventions. Use camel case and upper case and whatnot for class definitions. I think its a wothwhile habit to pick up. I keep thinking you're instantiating a class when you just calling a func. Instead of going string equals string plus cloud, you can go string plusequals cloud. I would toss the entire thing in a class. And make the funcs methods of your class.

Subject: [Tutor] Accessing Specific Dictionary items
Hi all,
I'm trying to access and use specific items within a dictionary that
is returned but am having issues in doing so.
[{'city': 'Sunnyvale', 'region_name': 'CA', 'area_code': 408,
'metro_code': 'Santa Clara, CA', 'country_name': 'United States'}]
How can I populate a list of many different returns so that I have a
list that contains all the cities and in line with the item that is
referenced.
The first step is to populate the list unsorted as it needs to be in
correlation to the item that it came from.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [Tutor] Accessing Specific Dictionary items
Dictionaries are objects and you access their attributes through keys.
So, let's say I had a dict: d = {'city':'plattsburgh'}
I would thus access the attribute by doing this
d['city']
You can store that value to a variable
Or you can append to a list directly.
l = []
for d in yourdict:
l.append(d['city'])

Subject: Re: [Tutor] Accessing Specific Dictionary items
The input being used is through pygeoip.
Using this I am pulling the data by IP and from what I am reading this
populates as a dictionary.
Here is some of the output that I can show currently
[{'city': 'Buena Park', 'region_name': 'CA', 'area_code': 714},
{'city': 'Wallingford', 'region_name': 'CT', 'area_code': 203},
{'city': 'Schenectady', 'region_name': 'NY', 'area_code': 518},
{'city': 'Athens', 'region_name': '35'}]
I'd like to have an output similar to this:
'Buena Park', 'Wallingford', 'Schenectady','Athens' pulled by the
"city" keys that are used in the returns. I think the easiest way to
approach this would be simply to use the .append and populate a list
but I don't know how to pull an item by key value from the dictionary
returns.
I hope this helps clear some confusion and thanks in advance.

Re: [Tutor] password loop
The while condition is never true when you enter the correct password. So the while loop is evaluated False and is never triggered. What you should do, as a general rule of troubleshooting, is to use print statements. So print the two outcomes and print the boolean evaluation I'm assuming when it is false that it prints 'try again' infinitely.
