So I have a dictionary and the key is a number. The values are either a single
tuple or a tuple of tuples. Is there a better way to go about accessing the
values of the dictionary? All the tuples contain four elements.
So say:
col = {"1": (0,1,2,3): "2": ((0,1,2,3),(2,3,4,5))}
Then to access the values of the tuple I'd do this:
for key,value in col.iteritems():
if isinstance(value[0], tuple):
#iterate through the tuples of a tuple
else:
#iterate through the tuple
At first I was thinking that I could just put the same keys with just single
tuples on a dictionary but only one tuple exists when I iterate through the
dictionary. I'm sorry, I'm really new at Python and I just grab anything I can
when I need it from Google and the Python docs.
How about this using Python 3.
col = {"1": ((0,1,2,3),), "2": ((0,1,2,3),(2,3,4,5))}
for key,tuples in col.items():
for t in tuples:
print(key,t)
A slight aside, your keys look more like strings to me than numbers :)
