Hi, Just wondering how I can get the items() command from ConfigParser to not resort all the item pairs that it presents.
I am trying to get it to read some data in order: [Relay Info] relay_name: IPC relay_current_range: [60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116] relay_current_mutliplier: [1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4] relay_i: arcfc/(relay_current_range*relay_current_mutliplier) so I can input the data and then eval() the equation at the end but when I go config.items('Relay Info') It mixes everything up, is there a way to stop this? Here is my selection code variables = sorted(config.items('Relay Info')) #Get inputs from user for each variable for variable in variables: if variable[0] == 'relay_name': vars()[variable[0]] = variable[1] else: vars()[variable[0]] = 'not a real thing this is just a fake that will never turn up to establish the variable' if variable[1][0] == '[' and variable[1][-1] == ']': if variable[0] != 'Any': while (variable[1].count(vars()[variable[0]]) < 1): vars()[variable[0]] = raw_input(str(variable)[1:-1] + "\n") if variable[1].count(vars()[variable[0]]) < 1: print 'Setting unavailable' else: vars()[variable[0]] = raw_input(str(variable)[1:-1] + "\n") else: vars()[variable[0]] = variable[1] vars()[variable[0]] = float(eval(vars()[variable[0]])) Thanks for the help! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
