Hi
I have 2 files (done and outf), and I want to chose unique elements
from the 2nd column in outf which are not in done. This code works but
is not efficient, can you think of a quicker way? The a=1 is just a
redundant task obviously, I put it this way around because I think
'in' is quicker than 'not in' - is that true?
done_={}
for line in done:
done_[line.strip()]=0
print len(done_)
universe={}
for line in outf:
if line.split(',')[1].strip() in universe.keys():
a=1
else:
if line.split(',')[1].strip() in done_.keys():
a=1
else:
universe[line.split(',')[1].strip()]=0
