hello!
I am doing my homework now and I am kinda stuck. Could any of you help me out?
Here is the homework problem:
fieldict(filename) reads a file in DOT format and
returns a dictionary with the DOT CMPLID, converted to an
integer, as the key, and a tuple as the corresponding value
for that key. The format of the tuple is:
(manufacturer, date, crash, city, state)
where these tuple items have the following types:
manufacturer -- this comes from the MFR_NAME field in the DOT format
date -- this comes from the FAILDATE field in the DOT format,
but converted to a Python datetime.date object
crash -- this comes from the CRASH field in the DOT format,
but converted to a Python bool type (True for a crash)
city -- comes from the CITY field in the DOT format
state -- comes from the STATE field in the DOT format
should return: fieldict("DOT500.txt")[82]
('FORD MOTOR COMPANY', datetime.date(1995, 1, 1), False, 'MARBLE HEAD', 'MA')
and here are parts of the data:

Here is my code and I dont know why my code is only reading the 500th line of
the file. Thanks for your help!
import datetime
def boolean(S):
if S=="Y":
return True
return False
def fieldict(filename):
D={}
with open(filename) as FileObject:
for lines in FileObject:
linelist=lines.split('\t')
Key=linelist[0]
ValCity=(linelist[12]).strip()
ValState=linelist[13]
ValOne=linelist[2]
ValTwo=linelist[6]
ValThree=boolean(linelist[7])
D={Key:(ValOne, ValTwo, ValThree, ValCity,ValState)}
return D
print fieldict("DOT500.txt")
