I'm a little bored, so I wrote a function that gets <finding> elements and puts them in a dictionary. Missing elements are just an empty string.
http://gist.github.com/78385 Usage: >>> d = process_finding(findings[0]) >>> ", ".join(map(lambda e: d[e], elements)) u'V0006310, NF, , , GD, 2.0.8.8, TRUE, DTBI135-Scripting\nof Java applets -\nRestricted, 2' Now for a <finding> of 9 elements: >>> d = process_finding(findings[1]) >>> ", ".join(map(lambda e: d[e], elements)) u'V0006311, O, The value:\nSoftware\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet\nSettings\\Zones\\4\\1A00 does not exist.\n\n, The value:\nSoftware\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet\nSettings\\Zones\\4\\1A00 does not exist.\n\n, GD, 2.0.8.8, TRUE, DTBI136-User\nAuthentication - Logon -\nRestricted, 2' The map() function just applies the dictionary to each element in the elements list. You can reorder them anyway you want. You're welcome :) Moos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
