Question regarding style/design..

scope such that the preference shifts from the former to the latter? I understand the use of the __name__ == 'main' convention for building unit tests, but I'm mixed on using it in scripts/small applications.

Sorting dict by value w/ operator.itemgetter- using key name?

Bit of code: print sorted(results.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1)) Would rather use 'H9', which is the name of the key in position 1 like: print sorted(results.items(), key=operator.itemgetter('H9')) Obviously that ain't work else I wouldn't be sending th
