Dave- By features I was refering to items in the list. For background the arcpy module is used for geoprocessing of geographic information. I'm using my script to get totals for features in a dataset that I receive on a regular basis- for example total number of hydrants, total number of hydrants with null or missing attributes, and total number of hydrants with outlining attributes.
I am experienced particularly with the arcpy module and I am trying deligently to become more experienced with Python in general. My goal is to fetch values by name and then print output by name. print WS_Hyd and then see "484". I have some experience with class definition but a dictionary might be the way to go. I was understanding the response of the Arcpy module but hadn't understood why the list wasn't being defined in my previous loop statement. I appreciate the response. I will look into dict if you have a class definition suggestion I will run with that. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
