hi I wish to pop/del some items out of dictionary while iterating over it. a = { 'a':1, 'b':2 } for k, v in a.iteritems(): if v==2: del a[k]
the output say RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration how can i suppress this message in an actual script and still get the final value of the dict? is it something like try/except/else statment? try: for v,k in a.iteritems(): if v==something: del a[k] except RuntimeError: < don't know what to do here> else: < should i include this part ? > what other ways can i do this ? thanks for any help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
