Re: [Tutor] ssh script

Thanks everyone these seem like promising directions to go... Eric, any chance you could share your 'similar' code? The problem it seems with paramiko is that it has little 'newbie' documentation, and I'm not clear how to set up the reverse port forwarding on it. Thus I may need to use the pexpect

[Tutor] Comparing more than 2 lists

I have been able to find a few articles on comparing 2 lists, but I have 4 lists that I need to compare. I need to find any repeated elements and the list that they came from. For example, list1 = ['one', 'two', 'three'] list2 = ['one', 'two', 'four', 'five'] list3 = ['two', 'three', 'six', 'seven

Re: [Tutor] Comparing more than 2 lists

You use a variation on bucket sort do to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort You make a dict where the keys are the values in the lists, and a name for each list is in the problem. So you get something that looks like: one: list1, list2 two: list1, list2, list3 etc Doing this with co

[Tutor] creating a nested dictionary

Is there any easy way to create a nested dictionary. I want to be able to allocate like pdb[dataset][modulename][parametername]['value']=value where dataset, modulename, parametername are variables that are determined within loops nested 3 deep, and value comes from a database call. Prior t

Re: [Tutor] creating a nested dictionary

Hi, Stream of consciousness answer: So, you want to set things in a dictionary with a statement like d[a][b][c][d] = x, even though d[a] wasn't used before so it's not initialized yet (let alone d[a][b]). Of course, if d is a dict, the d[a] = x works. That's one level deep, and non existing key

Re: [Tutor] creating a nested dictionary

Of course, I forgot to mention that you can use tuples as dictionary keys. A common idiom is: pdb[(dataset, modulename, parametername, 'value')] = value. And if that works for you, it's much simpler. But you lose the ability to use, say, pdb[dataset][modulename] as a dictionary on its own. Remc

[Tutor] lst file

Hi I am trying to read from a specific .lst file. When I read from it, it just prints out blank lines and I am sure that this file contains content. This is what I am using to read from the file: f = open("C:\\Users\\UserName\\Directory\\words.lst") for line in f: print line f.close() D

Re: [Tutor] lst file

Many things could be wrong; perhaps with reading the file, or the lines, or with printing them... Debugging usually consists of what the problem is exactly, where it occurs. First thing I'd look at is seeing whether the lines do get read. I would change "print line" into "print len(line)" and see
