Fredrik Lundh a écrit :
variable['s_i']=mylist.pop()
variable['s_' + str(i)]=mylist.pop()
but that while and pop stuff is pretty weird;
Why ? Because it destroys the list ?
maybe you should read the sections on lists, for loops, and string formatting in the Python tutorial?
here's a shorter way to create that dictionary:
variable = {} for item in mylist: variable["s_%d" % len(variable)] = item
maybe a dictionnary is more easely usable and reusable than a list... Thanks a lot for your help.
and here's the obligatory one-liner:
variable = dict(("s_" + str(k), v) for k, v in enumerate(mylist))
(shorter, but not exactly clearer, especially not if you're new to Python)
As a beginner, I agree at 100% even if the latter is nicer ! Rémi. I send to people form clp a little sun from Toulouse (France) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
