Hello again,
Here is my full attempt, can you please tell me if it is OK and if there should
be any improvements
>>> ws_industry = ('it', 'science')
>>> code = ws_industry[0]
>>> active = []
>>> industries = [{'code': 'it', 'name': 'Information Technology'}, {'code':
>>> 'science', 'name': 'Science'}, {'code': 'biology', 'name': 'Biology'}]
>>> for industry in industries:
if industry['code'] in ws_industry:
active.append({
'code': industry['code'],
'name': industry['name'],
'isdefault': code == industry['code']})
>>># Not active industry
>>> not_active = [x for x in industries if x['code'] not in ws_industry ]
>>>not_active.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x['name'], y['name']))
>>> return [active, non-active]
Line [6] i was not too sure if it could be written better or more efficient.
Basically I have a big list of industries and I want to verify for each member
whether they are active or not active.
The industry list of dictionaries will stay fixed at about 25 items, whereas
the ws_industry tuple will change depending. I have to go through about 20,000
items.
