Hi,
Sorry for the long mail but I've been searching the web for days for how to do
this.. I see that possibilities using
shelve or pickle but I don't want to do this (The source of the data changes
constantly)
I'm learning Python and very much a beginner with Classes.
I have data like this: (highly simplified)
user is unique!
File1
user;secnum;name
jro;012345;John Rogers
dbt;012346;Debbie Row
dri;012347;Daniel Deridder
etc.
File2
group,user
ace1,jro
ace2,jro
ace1,dri
ace3,dbt
ace3.dbt
ace3.jro
etc.
At the moment I read, split into a dict like this:
Read through File1
users = {}
key = splits[0]
users[key] = { 'user' : key,
'secnum' : splits[1],
'name' : splits[2]
}
Read through File2
user = splits[0]
group = splits[1]
users[user]['groups'].append(group)
This works great ..
But shouldn't I do this using classes instead ?
So I try
class GRPUser(object):
def __init__(self, user, secnum, name, groups=None):
self.user = user
self.secnum = secnum
self.name = name
self.groups = groups
So how do I load the Class, iterate through it and call up individual users ?
I've tried all sorts of things u = GRPUser(user, split[1], split[2]) whilst
reading File1, I get no errors but I have
no idea how to read in file2 and worse of all, no idea how to iterate through
or call up individual items from the
class, for example:
print users['jro']['name'], users['jro']['secnum'], users['jro']['groups']
or
for keys in users:
print users[keys]['name']
for group in users[keys]['groups']:
print group
etc.
Thanks in advance,
jerry
