hi, its me again jay, thanks alot everyone for your input on the last program i
created that solved for the mode,mean, and average of a set of numbers it
actually worked great...i used the import in a bit different method but still
very valuable...if anyone can give me any ideas on this program i am doing now
it would definetly be appreciated here it goes:import shelveimport
stringUNKNOWN = 0HOME = 1WORK = 2FAX = 3CELL = 4class phoneentry: def
__init__(self, name = 'Unknown', number = 'Unknown',type = UNKNOWN):
self.name = name self.number = number self.type = type# create
string representationdef __repr__(self): return('%s:%d' % ( self.name,
self.type ))# fuzzy compare or two itemsdef __cmp__(self, that): this =
string.lower(str(self)) that = string.lower(that) if string.find(this,
that) >= 0: return(0) return(cmp(this, that))def showtype(self):
if self.type == UNKNOWN: return('Unknown') if self.type == HOME:
return('Home') if self.type == WORK: return('Work') if self.type == FAX:
return('Fax') if self.type == CELL: return('Cellular')class phonedb: def
__init__(self, dbname = 'phonedata'): self.dbname = dbname;
self.shelve = shelve.open(self.dbname);def __del__(self):
self.shelve.close() self.shelve = Nonedef add(self, name, number, type =
HOME): e = phoneentry(name, number, type) self.shelve[str(e)] = edef
lookup(self, string): list = [] for key in self.shelve.keys(): e =
self.shelve[key] if cmp(e, string) == 0: list.append(e)
return(list)# if not being loaded as a module, run a small testif __name__ ==
'__main__': foo = phonedb() foo._add_('Sean Reifschneider',
'970-555-1111', HOME) foo.add('Sean Reifschneider', '970-555-2222', CELL)
foo.add('Evelyn Mitchell', '970-555-1111', HOME)print 'First lookup:'for entry
in foo.lookup('reifsch'): print '%-40s %s (%s)' % ( entry.name,
entry.number, entry.showtype())print 'Second lookup:'for entry in
foo.lookup('e'): print '%-40s %s (%s)' % ( entry.name, entry.number,
entry.showtype() )_______________________________________________
