Thanks so much. That seems to have it. This is the sort of thing I had before:
#!/usr/local/bin/python # make a short dictionary d1 = {'A' : '1', 'B' : '2', 'C' : '3'} for letter in d1.keys(): print letter, '\t', d1[letter] # make a space between the output of the 2 dictionaries print '\n' # reverse the keys and values from the first dictionary # from this point many things were tried, about the best I achieved was # getting the last key/value pair as displayed when printing the d1 # it was properly reversed but there was only one pair d2 = {d1[letter] : letter} for num in d2.keys(): print num, '\t', d2[num] This displays A 1 C 3 B 2 2 B -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
