Don't fight Python, unlike this chap[1] :) Basically if you're
looping around any data structure you rarely need to use indexing,
so try this approach.
for item in lst:
if
item.startswith(('Mon','Tue','__Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'))__:
myDict[item] = []
saveItem = item
else:
myDict[saveItem].append(item.__strip())
This creates a dictionary whose keys are out of order in terms of dates.
{'Thu Apr 04': ['Weigh In'], 'Sat Apr 06': ['Collect NIC', 'Finish PTI
Video'], 'Wed Apr 10': ['Serum uric acid test'], 'Sun Apr 14':
['Download Louis CK Oh My God', '4:00pm', 'UPS Guy'], 'Sat Apr 13':
['1:00pm', 'Get flag from dhariwal']}
Sat Apr 13 is appearing after Sun Apr 14. How do you sort this?
