Thanks for the help. I'm a Python newbie, and have a difficult time
understanding what the [] + [] line does :-/
I'll simplify things by using a list instead of a dictionary:
============
connected = []
connected.append("0test")
connected.append("aa")
connected.append("bb")
connected.append("cc")
for start in '1abcd':
result = [name for name in connected if name[0] >= start] + [name
for name in connected if name[0] < start]
print result
============
C:\>test.py
['aa', 'bb', 'cc', '0test']
['aa', 'bb', 'cc', '0test']
['bb', 'cc', '0test', 'aa']
['cc', '0test', 'aa', 'bb']
['0test', 'aa', 'bb', 'cc']
============
Pretty close to what I need to do but..
1. Why is the first iteration done twice?
2. How can I have just one line, save the character that I used as
starting point, increment it, and save it into a file so it can be
read the next time this program runs? For instance, let's say we used
"b" to start looking for items, I'll save "c" in a file for the next
time.
Thank you.
