Little bit of a fluff-up here.
Sorry, it should have been
with open(filename) as instream:
lines = (line.strip() for line in instream)
lookup = dict(zip(lines, lines))
Perhaps something like:
with open(filename) as instream:
lines = (line.strip() for line in instream)
lookup = dict(zip(lines[::2], lines[1::2]))
Tu quoque ;)
You are exactly right (and my vocabulary expands a bit); I must go
wipe the egg off of my face now. I still am thinking lists even
though I am writing generators. I should have written:
with open(filename) as instream:
lines = [line.strip() for line in instream]
lookup = dict(zip(lines[::2], lines[1::2]))
But, your example does in fact work as written.
