Untested, but maybe more in current Pythonic style:
def parseline(line,format):
xlat = {'x':None,'s':str,'f':float,'d':int,'i':int}
result = []
words = line.split()
for f,w in zip(format, words):
trans = xlat[f]
if trans is not None:
result.append(trans(w))
return result
Differences:
- doesn't ignore improper format characters, raises exception instead
- always returns values in a list, including as an empty list if
there's no values
- uses iterator protocol and zip to avoid ugly index variable
and subscripts
