Hello,
the idea of the following program is to parse a frequency list of the
form FREQUENCY|WORD, to store the frequency of a word in a dictionary
(and to do some things with this information later).
I have done this many many times. Suddenly, it does not work any more:
The value frq[key] is different from the value that key has in the
file 'my_frqlist.txt'.
I am using Python 2.5.1
Any hints?

================================================
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
frqlist = open('my_frqlist.txt', 'r')

frq = {}
for line in frqlist:
line = line.rstrip()
frequency, word = line.split('|')
frq[word] = int(frequency)
for key in frq.keys():
print key, frq[key]

More seriously, *something* must have changed - it's probably not the
rules of the universe though. Are the files now coming from a different
source (Windows rather than Unix or vice versa)?
As you read in the data, insert a
print "%r: %s %s" % (line, frequency, word)
to see exactly what is being processed and how it is getting split.
