To whom it may concern;
I am a just experimenting with Python and learning as I go. The majority of my
stumbling blocks have been syntax. So with that I must ask a couple of
technical albeit probably very simple questions. Hopefully, you may provide me
some insight and help me on my way.
Question 1.)
I have dictionary or list containing multiple instances 'duplicate
entries' of the same information. Lets say it's a list of addresses and list
item i[0] contains city values equal to 'Albany' .
I am using a second list of one element to provide my filter criteria. This
list contains only cities with no duplicate entries.
How do I filter my first list based upon the selected position or a
variable equal to the value of the selected position from my second list?
Question 2.) If I assign a value to a variable x = "MyVlaue"
How do I put the value of x into a list?
I would think it would be something like:
list[(str(x))]
But I'm not getting the results I expect.
This would probably be considered
macro-substitution in other languages but I cannot find reference to this in
python.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced,
S.
