> trying to be "idiomatic"
...I hope that if a python programmer looks at my code it
won't be an excuse to discard it. Less of an issue with Python
than with C/C++, but since I'm just starting...
def device(DeviceType):
if DeviceType=='PSP':
return Psp()
elif DeviceType=="Power Supply"
return Pwr()
What about the parameter "DeviceType"?
Also, I see what you mean now, DEVICE_DICT is upper
case because it is a 'constant' -- I'd missed that point.
