I am trying to discover the syntax for call on a dictionary of lists by key and index.
The data structure looks like this: dol = {'key1':['li1','li2','li3'],'key2':['li1','li2','li3'],\ 'key3':['li1'li2,'li3','']} The keys are passed to a function as arguments, and I want the value of the specified list index. This is what I *thought* it would look like: dol.key(argument)[0] # would return li1 when argument equals key1 But that's wrong. The error I get is this: AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'key' I don't know how to interpret that error (well, I know I screwed up, but ... :-) Thanks. -- yours, William
