After 5 year of no Python programming I decided that I needed to brush up my skills. Started writing on a reasonably complicated problem. Unfortunately my basic Python skill are gone.
I present the bare-bore problem. This code does not produce the expected result: can anyone tell me why? As you will guess, I want the first three lines of output identical to the second three lines... Can anyone point out the solution? Thanks! #~/usr/bin/python import random class boys: state={} class boy: state={ 'name':'', 'age':'' } names=['a','b','c'] def add_names(): global boys for n in names: boy.state['name']=n boy.state['age']=random.randint(1, 1000) boys.state[n]=boy.state print boy.state['name'], boy.state['age'] add_names() for n in boys.state: boy.state=boys.state[n] print boy.state['name'], boy.state['age'] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
