Hi Rick,
Nice little script indeed !
You probably mean
> trans = xlat.get(f,None)
instead of
> trans = xlat.get(f,'None')
in the case where an invalid format character is supplied. The string
'None' evaluates to True, so that trans(words[i]) raises an exception
A variant, with a list comprehension instead of the for loop :
def parseline(line,format):
xlat = {'x':None,'s':str,'f':float,'d':int,'i':int}
result = []
words = line.split()
result = [ xlat[f](w) for f,w in zip(format,words)
if xlat.get(f,None) ]
if not result: return None
if len(result) == 1: return result[0]
return result
Regards,
Pierre
