I want to code what would be nested "for" loops in C, but I don't know the most elegant way of doing the same thing in python. So I need to learn how from you folks. Here's what I need to do: build a database table of 180 rows. Each row contains 31 columns: the first is an automatically incremented integer as the primary key; the next two fields can each contain one of three strings held in dictionaries, the last 28 fields are random floats from a third dictionary.
Of the 180 total rows, each of the three values in the first dictionary will be the second field in 60 rows. Within each set of 60 rows, there will be 13 rows containing the first value from the second dictionary, 14 rows containing the second value from the second dictionary, and 33 rows from the third value in that dictionary. Again, the final 28 fields in each row are random values from the third dictionary. I suspect that iterators might be the way to accomplish this, but I really don't know. However, I would like to learn so that I can solve similar problems by myself. TIA, Rich -- Richard B.
