why in returns values for array and keys for dictionary

Hi, Wouldn't it be nicer to have 'in' return values (or keys) for both arrays and dictionaries. Arrays and Dictionaries looked so similar in Python until I learned this difference. Thanks, ++imanshu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How to Detect Use of Unassigned(Undefined) Variable(Function)

_msi.Record object has no attribute 'GetString'

The documentation (http://docs.python.org/library/msilib.html#record- objects) for msilib mentions the GetString() method on Record objects. However, the following snippet :- db = msilib.OpenDatabase(os.path.join(root, file), msilib.MSIDBOPEN_READONLY) view = db.OpenView('SELECT * FROM Property')
