It works for the Bytecode but when I do print row['Element'] > I get a error message print row['Element'] KeyError: 'Element'
That's weird. Since I only had your output, I did the following: <code> reader = [ {'Bytecode': '\\x00\\x00', 'Element': '0000'},{'Bytecode': '\\x01\\x00', 'Element': '0001'} ] for x in reader: print x['Element'] print x['Bytecode'] 0000 \x00\x00 0001 \x01\x00 </code> I must be missing something...
