Hi,
Suppose I have a dictionary containg nested dictionaries. Something
like this: pprint.pprint(d ataset)
{'casts': {'experimenter' : None,
'location': {'latitude': None,
'longitude': None},
'time': None,
'xbt': {'depth': None,
'temperature': None}},
'catalog_number ': None,
'z': {'array': {'z': None},
'maps': {'lat': None,
'lon': None}}}
I want to assign to the values in the dictionary the hierarchy of keys
to it. For example:
dataset['casts']['experimenter'] = 'casts.experime nter' dataset['z']['array']['z'] = 'z.array.z'
Of course I would like to do this automatically, independent of the
structure of the dictionary. Is there an easy way to do it?
Thanks,
Roberto 5 1405

Sorry, cut-and-paste error here -- updated the live code and forgot to
update the copy in my posting. That should be makehierarchy(d ataset).
pprint.pprint(d ataset)
{'casts': {'experimenter' : 'casts.experime nter', 'location': {'latitude': 'casts.location .latitude', 'longitude': 'casts.location .longitude'}, 'time': 'casts.time', 'xbt': {'depth': 'casts.xbt.dept h', 'temperature': 'casts.xbt.temp erature'}}, 'catalog_number ': 'catalog_number ', 'z': {'array': {'z': 'z.array.z'}, 'maps': {'lat': 'z.maps.lat', 'lon': 'z.maps.lon'}}}

class Dict:
def __init__(self, name=None, parent=None):
self.name = name
self.parent = parent
def __getitem__(sel f, name):
return Dict(name, self)
def __str__(self):
if self.parent and self.parent.par ent:
return ".".join((str(s elf.parent), self.name))
elif self.name is not None:
return self.name
return "I warned you"
d = Dict()
print d['casts']
print d['casts']['experimenter']
print d['casts']['location']['latitude']
#print d # do not uncomment
Seems to work :-)
I doubt that anybody can come up with something more automatic or more
independent of the structure of the dictionary than the above. And it was
easy, too, wasn't it?

Hi, guys.
Thanks for the all the answers and the valuable insights. I mixed them
all and got what I want. :)

Hi,
I want to store dictionaries on disk. I had a look at a few modules
like bsddb, shelve etc. However would it be possible for me to do the
following
hash = where the key is an int and not a string
bsddb requires that both the key,value are string.
shelve does support values being object but not the keys. Is there any

This is probably a FAQ, but I dare to ask it nevertheless since I
haven't found a satisfying answer yet: Why isn't there an "ordered
dictionary" class at least in the standard list? Time and again I am
missing that feature. Maybe there is something wrong with my programming
style, but I rather think it is generally useful.
I fully agree with the following posting where somebody complains why so

Hi. I like working with lists of dictionaries since order is preserved
in a list when I want order and the dictionaries make it explicit what
I have got inside them. I find this combination very useful for storing
constants especially. Generally I find myself either needing to
retrieve the values of constants in an iterative way (as in my
contrived example below). Perhaps even more frequent is given one value
is to look up the matching...
