Hello, I want to do the following:
def do_load(self, arg): sitefile = file('sitelist', 'r+', 1) while True: siteline = sitefile.readline() site_rawlist = siteline.split() sitelist[site_rawlist[0]] = site_rawlist[1:] if len(siteline) == 0: break
I want to load a textfile into a dictionaries and use the first word on a line as the key for the list, then take the remaining words of the line and make them values of the key. This doesn't work:
File "ftp.py", line 57, in do_load sitelist[site_rawlist[0]] = site_rawlist[1:] IndexError: list index out of range
Hi - It looks like your code encountered a blank line when you got this error.
You should move "if len(siteline) == 0" part right after your readline. The way you have done it really does not help.
def do_load(self, arg):
sitefile = file('sitelist', 'r+', 1)
while True:
siteline = sitefile.readline()
if len(siteline) == 0:
break
site_rawlist = siteline.split()
sitelist[site_rawlist[0]] = site_rawlist[1:]Thanks, --Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
