So I have a dictionary and the key is a number. The values are either a single tuple or a tuple of tuples. Is there a better way to go about accessing the values of the dictionary? All the tuples contain four elements.
So say: col = {"1": (0,1,2,3): "2": ((0,1,2,3),(2,3,4,5))} Then to access the values of the tuple I'd do this: for key,value in col.iteritems(): if isinstance(value[0], tuple): #iterate through the tuples of a tuple else: #iterate through the tuple At first I was thinking that I could just put the same keys with just single tuples on a dictionary but only one tuple exists when I iterate through the dictionary. I'm sorry, I'm really new at Python and I just grab anything I can when I need it from Google and the Python docs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
