I have another question, regarding the generator,

def translate_process(dictionary,tobetranslatedfile):
     results=[]
     with open(tobetranslatedfile,"r") as f:
         results=(dictionary[line.split()[2]] for line in f)
         print(list(results))
         print(len(list(results)))


Here the print(list(results))
did print a long list out,
but why later print(len(list(results)))
print 0 out?

sorry, seems that way is very trivial.

Best regards,

resuts is a generator, and they can only be iterated through once. So if you need it more than once, convert it to a list first, and save that list. or just use a list comprehension in the first place, (just change the parenthese to square brackets)
