I gave a few different variations that actually might help on speeding up
accessibility
#this method is less code and uses the dictionary object functionality and
iterates through each list. with range you are creating an actual list of
integers for that len in memory
for key, value in jntsDict.items():
for v in value:
for item in v:
print(item)
if you want a faster way to store and access info inside the dictionary,
the here are some options
#nested dictionary and use sides as keys
jntsDict={}
jntsDict["leg"]={"left":["L_upLeg_JNT","L_knee_JNT","L_ankle_JNT"],
"right":["R_upLeg_JNT","R_knee_JNT","R_ankle_JNT"]}
jntsDict["arm"]={"left":["L_upArm_JNT","L_elbow_JNT","L_wrist_JNT"],
"right":["R_uparm_JNT","R_elbow_JNT","R_wrst_JNT"]}
for key, value in jntsDict.items():
for side in ['left', 'right']:
for v in value[side]:
print(v)
#or just store joint names and iterate through sides list and prefix the
joint names
jntsDict={}
jntsDict["leg"]=["upLeg_JNT","knee_JNT","ankle_JNT"]
jntsDict["arm"]=["upArm_JNT","elbow_JNT","wrist_JNT"]
for key, value in jntsDict.items():
for side in ['L', 'R']:
for v in value:
print('%s_%s'%(side, v))
#or use more key information stored with each item as information so
something like a quadruped could have different sides or center joints that
don't have sides can be parsed in the same dictionary
jntsDict={}
jntsDict["spine"]={'joints':["spine_a_JNT","spine_b_JNT","spine_c_JNT"]}
jntsDict["leg"]={'sides':['L', 'R'],
'joints':["upLeg_JNT","knee_JNT","ankle_JNT"]}
jntsDict["arm"]={'sides':['L', 'R'],
'joints':["upArm_JNT","elbow_JNT","wrist_JNT"]}
jntsDict["quadleg"]={'sides':['FL', 'FR', 'BL', 'BR'],
'joints':["upLeg_JNT","knee_JNT","ankle_JNT"]} for key,value in
jntsDict.items(): if value.get('sides'): for side in value.get('sides'):
for j in value.get('joints'): print('%s_%s'%(side, j)) else: for j in
value.get('joints'): print(j)
p.s. sorry for mixed single and double quotes, I would normally match them
all but was just inserting code into yours and I use single quotes as my
standard because I find that double quotes tend to be nested inside of
strings more than single quotes
hope this helps
