1 random.shuffle(letters) 2 trans_letters = ''.join(letters)[:len(original_set)] 3 trans_table = string.maketrans(original_set, trans_letters)
So what I'd like to do is have lines 1 and 2 run once, then I want to do some comparison between original_set and trans_letters before running line 3. If the comparison passes, line 3 runs; otherwise, lines 1 and 2 run again. A do/while would be good for this, but perhaps I'm looking at it in the wrong way? Or is there some kind of do/while type of idiom that I could use? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
