I want it to be converted to:
[{'2021':['Po1','Po306']},{'2022':['Gi7/33','Po1','Po306']},etc etc]
I was going to write a def to loop through and look for certain pre-
compiled regexs, and then put them in a new dictionary and append to a
list, but I'm having trouble thinking of a good way to capture each
dictionary. Each dictionary will have a key that is the vlan and the
value will be a list of interfaces that participate in that vlan.
Each list will be variable, many containing only one interface and
some containing many interfaces.
I thought about using itertools, but i only use that for fixed data.
I don't know of a good way to loop over variably sized data. I was
wondering if anyone had any ideas about a good way to convert this
list or dictionary into the right format that I need. The solution I
come up with will most likely be ugly and error prone, so I thought
i'd ask this python list while I work. Hopefully I learn a better way
to solve this problem.
Thanks!
I also have the data in a list,
[ 'VLAN4065',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',
'Po2',
'Po3',
'Po306',
'VLAN4068',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',
'VLAN4069',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',]
