The line is asking a dictionary (sitelist) to return 3 values
(site, ID and passcard) from its items() method. But A dictionary
stores things as name/value pairs so you can only get 2 items
back not 3.
Yopu need to change the code to read the key/value from the
dictionary,
and then, unpack the value data into the individual pieces.
--------------------------
def save_file(pw):
store = open('passcard.txt',"w")
for site,ID,passcard in sitelist.items():
store.write(site + '\n')
store.write(ID + '\n')
store.write(passcard + '\n')
store.close()
def add_site():
print "Add a login info card"
site = raw_input("Site: ")
ID = raw_input("User ID: ")
passcard = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
sitelist[site] = [ID,passcard]
----------------------------
You see here? you store ID and passcard as a list, so items()
will return that list alomng with the key. You need to unpick
them from the list.
You might be better investigating the shelve module which
allows you to store a dictionaruy to a file and access it
as if it were still a dictionary. Shelve would be pretty
much ideal for this application.
