Thanks all for the insight. I'm not sure I fully understand all of the code
snippets, but in time...
This is finally what I came up with:
raw_table = ('''
a: Ask y: Dividend Yield
b: Bid d: Dividend per Share
b2: Ask (Realtime) r1: Dividend Pay Date
b3: Bid (Realtime) q: Ex-Dividend Date
p: Previous Close
o: Open
Date
''')
import re, string
dict={}
key_name = raw_table.replace('\t','\n')
for each_line in key_name.splitlines():
if ':' in each_line: #this design had to
do with a few different lines
for key, value in [each_line.split(':')]: #see the last line
in the data. I still don't fully
dict[key.strip()] = value.strip() #understand the second for
and the square brackets.
#I presume that they force the source to look and feel like a tuple or list,
but not sure. I think they force two strings into a two items of a tuple???
Please let me know if I munged bad code together:<))
