Thank you Roel Schroeven I don't know how I missed the fact that the printDendrogram function needs tuples not strings. I didn't recognize that my string was a tuple so I didn't realize that when I pasted it interactively in IDEL I was allowing python to change the type.
eval() changes the type from string to tuple. But, to my surprise tuple() does not yeild the tuple that is represented by the string but a tuple representation of the string. If eval() does convert correctly why not use it? The string will always be a valid tuple. Thank you for you elegant tree based representation. I'm sure I'll need help when it comes to adding support for more that two nodes. Of course, I'll also have to modify the drawing code. Thank you, thank you Vincent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- PhD Candidate Committee on the Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science University of Chicago PO Box 73727 Fairbanks, AK 99707 wan AT walrus DOT us (change CAPS to @ and . ) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
