myDict.get(fldType, None)
this will output the value from myDict if the key exists, if not it will
return None
Thanks this looks perfect - did not know dict.get()
You may also want to consider {}.setdefault -- that would collect the
fldType entries not defined.
>>> a = {'a':1,'b':2}
>>> a.setdefault('a','?')
1
>>> a.setdefault('c','?')
'?'
>>> a
{'a': 1, 'c': '?', 'b': 2}
