Ok, I have a module called textgen.py. The point of this module is to
generate a csv file from an array of dictionaries. As I iterate through
each dictionary, I "massage" the dictionary values before writing them
out to csv. Now, for one dictionary entry, I have the following code:
if dict_key == 'PCN':
fields = dict_val.split("/")
mo = re.match( '(\w{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})' , fields[1] )
if mo:
dict_val = "%s/%s%s/%s" % (fields[0], mo.group(1),
mo.group(3),
fields[2][1:])
else:
dict_val = dict_val
Ok, so now here is what has happened. This code was based on the
assumption that dict_val would have 2 forward slashes in it. It turns
out that I need to follow a different process of massaging when no
slashes are present. A naive solution would be something like:
if dict_key == 'PCN':
fields = dict_val.split("/")
if fields == 3:
dict_val = pcn_three(fields) # where pcn_three
is the code above
else:
# new logic
But I am wondering if I should abstract the flow of control into a
class or something.
Ideas welcome.
