Re: [Tutor] Merging dictionaries

hmmm, somewhat off-topic, i was partially confused by the Subject line. i thought this post was about merging *dictionaries* and not merging the *contents of multiple dictionaries' values*. for those who are interested in the former, you use the update() method and here is an example: >>> d1 = d

[Tutor] date formatter

Hey, I'm working on a problem out of Core Python Programming (2nd Edition). Basically, I'm creating a class that formats dates. Here is what I have so far: #!/usr/bin/python import time class date_format(object): def __init__(self, month, day, year): month_dict = {("j

Re: [Tutor] iterating data and populating a dictionary

If you're just going to be using numbers as dictionary keys, it might be simpler just to use a list structure. Dictionaries don't preserve order, so you'd need to write extra code if you ever need to iterate over it in order. Since your code increments field everytime it gets a new record you can j

Re: [Tutor] Merging dictionaries

Dear Norman, I would propose: ret = {} myvalues = [] responses = [{'a1': [1], 'a2': [1, 2, 3]}, {'a1': [0], 'a2': [0, 1, 3]}] for response in responses: for answer in response.items() ret.setdefault(response[0], []).append(response[1]) Regards, Benoit Thiell.

"Dick Moores" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote Well, Kent, it seems you have found the right places for begin_fill() and end_fill(). Yes, quite bizarrely the fill needs an open shape to fill. If you close the figure and then end_fill it doesn't work. How counter intuitive is that! Oh well, one to r

[Tutor] Merging dictionaries

Hello, I am trying to figure out the best way to add results from a poll module that I have working, but am a bit stuck and can't see on how to add the total responses submitted by the user. So far I have an output which puts in a list all the user's responses, such as responses = [{'a1': [1], 'a

Re: [Tutor] Ongoing trouble with Turtle's end_fill()

"Dick Moores" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote Here's a barebones script using end_fill(). As you can see, it draws a square twice, but fails to fill it. Pleas show me how to use it correctly in tandem with begin_fill(). The Turtle doc is at How odd.
