Python users, I am parsing an AIX trace file and creating a dictionary containing keys (PIDS) and values (a list of TIDS). With PIDS being unique process ids and TIDS, being a list of thread ids. My function populates the keys so that they are unique, but my list contains duplicates.
Can someone point me in the right direction so that my dictionary value does not contain duplicate elements? here is what I got. --------------<portion of code that is relevant>------------------ pidtids = {} # --- function to add pid and tid to a dictionary def addpidtids(pid,tid): pidtids.setdefault(pid,[]).append(tid) # --- function to parse a file def grep(pattern, fileObj, include_line_nums=False): r=[] compgrep = re.compile(pattern) for line_num, line in enumerate(fileObj): if compgrep.search(line): info = line.split() p = info[7].lstrip("pid=") t = info[8].lstrip("tid=") addpidtids(p,t) # process trace.int tf = open(tracefile, 'r') grep("cmd=java pid",tf) tf.close() --------------</portion of code that is relevant>------------------ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chad -- A grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says "Hey, we have a drink named after you." And the grasshopper says "Really, You have a drink named Murray?"
