I thought you guys would suggest something like this
def parseOffsets(str):
seq = str.split()
dict = {}
while seq != []:
name, x, y = seq[:3]
dict[name] = (int(x),int(y))
del seq[:3]
return dict
which seems to me as something in more of python-spirit? :D
well, anyways, thanks - now i know i dont have to bend backwards with
restricting myself from using simple old paradigms (like for loop) in my
python code (:
Cheers!

Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Readability counts.
^ ^ ^ ^
In that spirit, may I suggest the following simple, readable code?
<code>
ml = ['name1','x1','y1','name2','x2','y2']
i = 0
d = {}
while True:
try:
d[ml[i]] = (ml[i+1],ml[i+2])
except IndexError:
break
i += 3
print repr(d)

I need to unpack a list of
[name, x, y, name, x, y]
to a dictionary
{name : (x,y), name:(x,y)}
how would one do that?
Also, is it ok to ask such newbie questions here, or is there a
better place for that?
