that is, you want to convert an array of (key, value, ...) tuples to a dictionary containing key: (value, ...) pairs, right ? > I made some code myself, and want to ask you if I do this the right way. > > def remapmysql(a): > return (a[0], (a[1:])) > > def test_map(): > count = 100000 # count of simulated records > l1 = range(0, count) > l2 = range(count , 2 * count ) > l3 = range(2 * count, 3 * count ) > z1 = zip(l1, l2, l3) # simulate a mysql resultset > > d1 = dict(map(remapmysql,z1)) > > return d1 looks fine to me. if you care about performance, and is using a recent Python, you could try doing d1 = dict((row[0], row[1:]) for row in z1) instead, and see if that runs faster (this uses a generator expression instead of a callback and a full list). </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
