It is, but I wanted to show why I was getting confused trying to use
control variables to maintain the overall relationship.
Thank you. This is exactly what I'm trying to do, and oddly enough
similar in concept to what I was doing, but far more readable and
maintainable (thus the philosophical component :-))
using 'for x, column in enumerate(columns):' for a looping structure
cleared up a lot of the convoluted 'score keeping' I was trying to do in
my nested loops.
Also, does 'row == var.get() for var in self.variables' perform the
comparison row == var.get() for each item in self.variables? I would
have had to write:
for var in self.variables:
return row == var.get()
Again, thanks.
