"is not working" is the worst possible description of a problem. > def prune(d,cp): > l = [] > for rule,value in d.iteritems(): > #print value > if value >= cp: > l.append(rule) > return l This doesn't remove anything from the dict - it returns a list of keys for which values are >= cp value. FWIW, a simple expression is enough to do this: [k for k, v in d.items() if v >= cp] The algorithm for what you described would be: def prune(dic, cmp): for k, v in dic.items(): if v < cmp: del dic[k] >>>>d = {'be=>c': '1.00', 'c=>da': '0.50', 'ea=>b': '0.33', 'be=>d': > > '0.50', 'c=>ba': '0.33', 'bd=>a': '1.00', 'a=>cb': '0.33', 'ea=>c': > '0.67', 'a=>cd': '0.50', 'e=>ac': '0.40', 'e=>ab': '0.20', 'c=>bd': > '0.33', 'e=>cb': '0.40', 'ed=>b': '0.25', 'ed=>c': '0.50'} > >>>>cp = 0.5 You are comparing floats with strings... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
