How does the above code equate to writing C in Python? Personally, I don't think that reading an entire file, hashing its values into a dictionary just to be able to pull out one using a dictionary get is very pythonic. Python is about keeping things simple and clear. Sometimes that's at the cost of efficiency but simplicity and clarity are paramount. Making things more complicated and much harder for others to follow is very un-pythonic IMO. In this case, having a simple solution that's also much more efficient is a bonus. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
