Please help for Python programming

[yy0127]

I don't know why i entered the below code and it will miss some
records.
Anyone can help me???

users = {}
users1 = {}
while 1:
user, serviceType, msgType, inOut, date, time, numBytes =
aLog.GetNextMes sage("")
fullmsg = serviceType + "|" + msgType + "|" + inOut
bytemsg = user + " " + serviceType + " " + msgType + " " + inOut + " "
+ numBytes

user1 = user

msgDict = {}
byteDict = {}

print bytemsg # 53 records in source file
msgDict = users[user] # get the cum statistics for this user
byteDict = users1[user1]
print bytemsg # 50 records in source file

Sorry, my mindreading brain extension is at the service right now, so I
can't guess what that piece of syntactically incorrect code is supposed to
do and what error message it produces.

Until you come up with a more detailed error description, I'll have a good
read at

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Which I suggest you read too.

If you hope to get some useful help, it would be a good idea to follow
Diez's advice (see other post in this thread)
users = {}
users1 = {}

while 1:
Unless there is a break somewhere in the following code (I can't find
one...), this is an endless loop. But you know this, don't you ?
user, serviceType, msgType, inOut, date, time, numBytes =
aLog.GetNextMes sage("")
fullmsg = serviceType + "|" + msgType + "|" + inOut tip : use string formating instead (string concatenations are to be
avoided in Python), ie:
fullmsg = "%s | %s | %s" % (serviceType, msgType, inOut)
bytemsg = user + " " + serviceType + " " + msgType + " " + inOut + " "
+ numBytes idem
user1 = user

msgDict = {}
byteDict = {}
This re-initialises both dicts on each iteration. Is this really what
you want ?
print bytemsg # 53 records in source file
Here you have an obvious indentation problem. This code *cannot* run.
Take care of not mixing tabs and spaces (tip: configure you editor to
only use spaces)
msgDict = users[user] # get the cum statistics for this user Given the above binding of 'users' as an empty dict, this should raise a
KeyError. It's also overwriting the previous binding of msgDict.
byteDict = users1[user1]
idem. Also, you don't need to bind 2 different names to the same value
to use this value as key in 2 different dicts. Here you could as well
use user for both dicts, since user and user1 are bound to the same value.
print bytemsg # 50 records in source file

In addition to Diez's reading advice, here are some that are more
specific to code-related questions:

1/ paste code, dont re-type it
.... this avoid stupid typos

2/ post running code
.... if the code is so obviously broked that it cannot even compile|run,
readers will have to fix it first - which they'll probably won't do.
Even if they do, they may not fix it the right way. Everyone's losing
its time...

3/ post the smallest possible bit of code that exhibit your problem
.... no one's going to [read 3000 lines of code | install 30 gigabytes of
third part libs | etc...] just to help you. Moreover, quite often, one
finds the bug while reducing the problematic code to it's smallest possible.

And one last: don't forget to put your bullet-proof jacket on before
reading the answers !-) (well, c.l.py is probably one of the friendliest
groups on usenet, but still, this is usenet).

This is what I see (minus the '> '):

while 1:
user, serviceType, msgType, inOut, date, time, numBytes =
aLog.GetNextMes sage("")

[etc]

Advice: use spaces, not tabs, to indent posted code (some readers discard
tabs). Don't use google groups to post code (it deletes initial spaces and
won't, apparently, fix this bug). Use news.gmane.org group
gmane.comp.pyth on.genral instead (I believe they also have web interface in
addition to newsreader interface). If you really, really must post thru
google, prefix lines with char such as '|', even tho this kill cut and
pastability.

Actually, this script will open a text file which is seperated by tabs.
The PRINT code is for my testing. My problem is bytemsg will be omitted
some records. For example, my text file have 53 records about username.
After byteDict = users1[user1], it remains 50 records in the output
file.

I would like to know how to culmulate some data by users.

Thanks!

Which, from your previous snippet, should raise a KeyError... If it
does, then first understand why and fix it. If it does not, then the
code you posted is absolutely useless for us to help you.

file.
There is nothing about reading and parsing file in the code you posted.

I'm afraid you did not follow Diez's advice, nor mine. Please re-read my
previous post, take appropriate action, and re-post with the minimum
*working* snippet that exhibit your problem.

I would like to know how to culmulate some data by users.

---- data.txt
user1;aaa;000
user2;aab;001
user3;aac;002
user1;aad;004
user3;aae;005
user1;aaf;006
user2;aag;007
user2;aah;008
user2;aak;009
user1;zzz;999
---- accu.py
import sys
import pprint

try:
f = open('data.txt' , 'r')
except IOError, e:
print >> sys.stderr, "Cannot open file data.txt for reading : %s" % e
sys.exit(1)

users = {}
for line in f:
try:
user, data1, data2 = line.strip().sp lit(';')
except ValueError:
print >> sys.stderr, "wrong file format"
f.close()
sys.exit(1)
try:
users[user].append("%s : %s" % (data1, data2))
except KeyError:
users[user] = ["%s : %s" % (data1, data2)]

f.close()
print "collected data:"
pprint.pprint(u sers)

Terry,
This was posted from google groups, can you see the indents?
# code snippet
convertpage = 0
form = None
for o, a in opts:
if o in ["-h", "--help"]:
Usage()
sys.exit()
if o in ["-o", "--output", "--out"]:
output = a
if o in ["-i", "--input", "--in"]:
input = a
if input in [".", "cwd"]:
input = os.getcwd()

Notice the 'fixed font / proportional font' link in the top right
corner.
I think they have "fixed" the problem.

Great. Now people have to learn to use the fixed font choice.

Hello again,
For some strange reason Google isn't showing this so I got this from
gmane sorry if I missed something.
The fixed/proportional link is located on the google groups c.l.py
pages.
I wasn't clear at all sorry for the ambiguity.
Google groups for c.l.py seems to be fixed by default, so no need to
click it.
Proportional still retains spaces but is less tidy.

Thanks for your advice.^^

I find out something special (because i don't know). I would like to
retrieve data from source file into array. The data will be omited if
the value is duplicated. For example, there is 3 values - 1,2,1. It
will only display 1,2 after i ran the script.

value = (1,2,1)
while 1:
users = {}
byteDict = {}

byteDict = users[value]

users[value] = byteDict
print users

I think the above code cannot run properly. Any ppl knows why the value
omited when it was duplicated.

Many of thanks for all!!!
