How to store key->multiple values?
by Kenneth Gomez Jan. 1, 2004

Jan. 1, 2004

Hello, I would like some advice on how to store data of these types : Material Name Young's Modulus Poisson's Ratio Density Aluminum 200e5 .27 2700 Steel 200e9 .33 8020 I would like this to be in an array where I can access the first subscript and get the rest of the values. I thought of using a dictionary but I found that dictionary only allows one value per key. Can I use lists instead? How do I create a multidimensional list or tuple? How would I insert the values into a multidimensional list? I would really appreciate some advice. Thank you. Cheers, Kenneth Gomez, http://www.kgomez.com 'I didn't lose my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.'

writing a program in Python
by Christopher Spears Jan. 1, 2004

Jan. 1, 2004

I guess this is a stupid question, but I am going to ask anyway... How do you actually write a program in Python? I know how to use IDLE to manipulate data, but how do I write several lines of code that goes out and does stuff. ===== "I'm the last person to pretend that I'm a radio. I'd rather go out and be a color television set." -David Bowie "Who dares wins" -British military motto "Far more creativity, today, goes into the marketing of products than into the products themselves..." -"Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson

mistake naming class
by Conrad Koziol Jan. 1, 2004

Jan. 1, 2004

Recently while programming I made a mistake of naming a class open. In it it uses the builtin open(). When I run it I get an error saying that __init__() takes 3 arguements but only 1 is given. For example, this is quite similiar to what I have: class open(object): def __init__(world, person, animal): open('foo.txt', 'r') Any solutions other then renaming my class, because going through the code looking for calls to class open is not going to be fun Can anyone give me insight why this does not work. It works fine in the interpreter. class open(object): def __init__(self): layout = __builtins__.open('login.html', 'r') but it never works in a script. I get an error saying dict object has no attribute open

Do I need to change the protocol passed depending on whether I am working on a Windows machine or a Linux box? It appears not. Is there more information on this protocol variable? I have only found that it may be None, 1, 2, or 3 and that only None and 1 work. There seems to be a shortage of information on this option (in pickle or shelve descriptions). --vicki
