Is there a way to abbreviate the following code somehow?
lv = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'1', 'name':'Leisure volts'}
sv = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'0', 'name':'Starter volts'}
la = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'2', 'name':'Leisure Amps'}
sa = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'3', 'name':'Starter Amps'}
bv = {'dev':'adc2', 'input':0, 'name':'BowProp Volts'}
It's effectively a 'table' with columns named 'dev', 'input' and
'name' and I want to access the values of the table using the variable
name.
I could, obviously, store the data in a database (sqlite), I have some
similar data in a database already but the above sort of format in
Python source is more human readable and accessible. I'm just looking
for a less laborious way of entering it really.
Maybe a dict of dicts:
tx = {lv: {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'1', 'name':'Leisure volts'},
sv: {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'0', 'name':'Starter volts'},
...}
Might have one or two advantages.
