Hi All, I have the following list containing dictionaries and I would like to be able to count the total number of dictionaries I have that contain a certain value set for the 'level' key:
[{'mod_title': u'Introduction to Human Anatomy', 'level': u'1', 'modcode': u'ANAT1003', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 1 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Developmental Neurobiology', 'level': u'2', 'modcode': u'ANAT2008', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Human Neuroanatomy', 'level': u'2', 'modcode': u'ANAT2010', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Human Anatomy and Embryology', 'level': u'2', 'modcode': u'ANAT2050', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Ethics of Fertility and Embryo Research', 'level': u'2', 'modcode': u'ANAT2099', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u"Man's Place in Nature 1750-1900", 'level': u'23', 'modcode': u'HMED3001', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2/3 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Medicine, Disease and Society, Antiquity to Renaissance ', 'level': u'23', 'modcode': u'HMED3003', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2/3 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}, {'mod_title': u'Madness and Society', 'level': u'23', 'modcode': u'HMED3004', 'deptleveltext': u'', 'deptlevelheader': u'Level 2/3 Courses', 'subj_code': u'AE'}] For example I'd like to kow how many dictionaries there are with a level 1, 2 , 23 & 3 etc. How would one go about achieveing this? Hope someone can help. Cheers Jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
