Hello,
>From a general style and/or programmatic perspective, which is a "better"
way to write this bit of code?
try:
(dn, attrs) = conn.search_s(search_base, search_scope, search_filter,
search_attrs):
except Exception, e:
warn_the_user(e)
do_something_useful()
for (name, data) in (dn, attrs):
print '%s' % (name)
for key, value in data.iteritems():
print '%s => %s' % (key, value)
OR
try:
for dn, attrs in conn.search_s(search_base, search_scope, search_filter,
search_attrs):
print dn
for key, value in attrs.iteritems():
print '\t%s => %s' % (key, value)
print
except Exception, e:
warn_the_user(e)
do_something_useful
Personally I like the second method more. To my eyes it is compact
and efficient. Coming from a perl background I tend to like to get
very compact, which can be an impediment to code readability. As I get
started with python I want to make sure that I don't repeat the same
mistakes and let too many perl-isms creep into my python code.
