Let's say I have a file with this kind of content/lines

I want to pose the question to a user and check his answer, so I come
up with this solution. Is there a better
way thought? I particulary hate that "ptr = -1" hack of mine...
questionary = []
ptr = -1
for line in textdata.split('\n'):
if line:
space = line.find(' ')
tag = line[1:space]
content = line[space+1:]
if tag == "question":
ptr += 1
questionary.append({tag : content})
else:
questionary[ptr].update({tag : content})
questionary = []
for line in textdata.split('\n'):
if line:
tag, content = line.split(' ', 1)
if tag == "question":
questionary.append({tag : content})
else:
questionary[-1].update({tag : content})
You might even consider making questionary a dictionary keyed by the
question.
