Hey, I made some changes to my address book, with help from.... Oh darn,
well whoever you are, I haven't forgotten the help you gave me in changing
my if/if/if/if/if/else things into mapping objects.... Anyway, if anybody
wants a look, here it is.
P.S. I made some changes to the file reading part too. Got rid of some
unnecessary code.
[start]
from os.path import exists as ex
tel = {}
tempname = "Telephone.cfg"
if not ex(tempname):
open(tempname,"w").close()
file = open(tempname,"r")
stuff = file.read()
file.close()
if stuff == '':
a = 1
print "No entries on file."
else:
tel = eval(stuff)
a = 0
print """\
Commands are:
add
get
save
delete
quit
all is a wildcard
"""
def dispatch(command,entity,tel):
tfunct = functs[command]
tfunct(entity,tel)
def add(person,tel):
if tel.has_key(person):
print "That person is already in there. If you wish to edit the
file, please delete the record first."
else:
tel[person] = raw_input("What is their phone number? ")
def get(person,tel):
if a == 1:
print "Sorry, there are no entries available."
else:
if person == 'all':
key = tel.keys()
key.sort()
print
for x in key:
print "%s\n%s\n" % (x,tel[x])
elif tel.has_key(person):
print "\n%s\n%s\n" % (person,tel[person])
else:
print "%s is not in your records." % person
def delete(person,tel):
if not a:
if person == 'all':
tel={}
open('Telephone.cfg', 'w').close()
else:
if tel.has_key(person):
del tel[person]
else:
print "%s is not in your records." % person
else:
print "There is no one to delete."
def save(entitynotneeded,tel):
file=open('Telephone.cfg', 'w')
file.write(str(tel))
file.close()
print 'Saved in Telephone.cfg'
functs = {'add':add,'get':get,'save':save,'delete':delete}
while 1:
ask = raw_input('Tell me what you wish to do. ')
if ask == "quit":
break
ask = ask.split(" ")
command = ask[0]
entity = " ".join(ask[1:])
if entity == '' and command != 'save':
entity = raw_input("Who do you want to %s? " % command)
dispatch(command,entity,tel)
file = open('Telephone.cfg', 'w')
file.write(str(tel))
file.close()
[end]
