Hi, I'm just starting to learn Python, so please bear with me. I have in my program an object (recs) which is a list of tuples (returned as such by a database query).
My question is doubtless a very easy one to answer: Say I want the ninth element in the twentieth tuple put into variable PID, I can do this, bearing in mind that numbering starts at zero: tup = recs[19] PID = tup[8] But there must be an easier way; i.e. to do it in one go without the extra variable. How do I achieve that please? Secondly, I am more than happy to read the fine manuals. If someone could point me in the direction of one or two "for idiots" guides, that would be greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
