I'm building a dictionary from a list with ~ 1M records.
Each record in the list is itself a list.
Each record in the list has a line number, (index 0) which I wish to use as
a dictionary key.
The problem: It is possible for two different records in the list to share
this line number. If they do,
I've been looking through various sites, but cannot find the magic button
that allows me to match a string with linefeeds
I'd rather not strip out the linefeeds, then stick them back in. :-)
I'm attempting something that should be fairly simple:

Actually, I've had excellent results with pyserial.

I've used it to write a screen-scraping tool. It comes with a little demo
terminal program that shows many interesting ways to fiddle about with the

Ah. Apparently, the string xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents" is causing some sort of outfreakage.
I'm not well versed in xml lore: is the "urn:" tag out of context here?

Hi Bob,
You can use a while loop in this case, but range() might be a bit more appropriate!
c = 0
d = raw_input("Enter Number Limit: ")
for i in range(int(d)): #note, we make sure "d" is an integer!
c = c + 1
