Hi Folks I am studing yet (with fever, grasp and headache).
I know I can do better, but first I should learn more about "dictionary comprehension syntax" in python 2.65 >>> dict1 = {'ab':[[1,2,3,'d3','d4',5],12],'ac':[[1,3,'78a','79b'],54],'ad': >>> [[56,57,58,59],34], 'ax': [[56,57,58,59],34]} >>> dict2 = >>> {'ab':[[22,2,'a0','42s','c4','d3'],12],'ab':[[2,4,50,42,'c4'],12],'ac':[[1,3,'79b',45,65,'er4'],54],'ae': >>> [[56,57,58,59],34],'ax':[[9],34]} >>> >>> # Arnaud Delobelle ... def intersectList(iterables): ... nexts = [iter(iterable).next for iterable in iterables] ... v = [next() for next in nexts] ... while True: ... for i in xrange(1, len(v)): ... while v[0] > v[i]: ... v[i] = nexts[i]() ... if v[0] < v[i]: break ... else: ... yield v[0] ... v[0] = nexts[0]() ... >>> def intersect(s1, s2): ... d = {} ... e = {} ... r1 = filter(s1.has_key, s2.keys()) ... for x in r1: ... d[x] = list(intersectList([s1[x][0],s2[x][0]])) ... if len(d[x]) > 0: ... e[x] = d[x] ... return e ... >>> intersect(dict1,dict2) {'ac': [1, 3, '79b'], 'ab': [2]} >>> Best Regards Mario On 10 nov, 07:51, Paul Rudin <paul.nos...@rudin.co.uk> wrote: > Lawrence D'Oliveiro <l...@geek-central.gen.new_zealand> writes: > > In message <mailman.787.1289336127.2218.python-l...@python.org>, Terry Reedy > > wrote: > > >> To echo John Nagle's point, if you want non-masochist volunteers to read > >> your code, write something readable like: > > >> dict1 = {'ab': [[1,2,3,'d3','d4',5], 12], > >> 'ac': [[1,3,'78a','79b'], 54], > >> 'ad': [[56,57,58,59], 34], > >> 'ax': [[56,57,58,59], 34]} > > > How come Python itself doesn’t display things that way? > > try: pprint.pprint(dict1) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
