Hi,
I have a dictionary which may contain various keys/values, however,
it will always contain 'name' and 'age' keys.
This dictionary is kept inside a class, such as....
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.data = {'name' : name, 'age' : age}
def getData(self, includeNameAge=False):
if includeNameAge: return self.data
tmp = <shallow or deep copy of 'data'>
del tmp['name']
del tmp['age']
return tmp
The getdata method should return the data stored for the
person, however, it should be able to return the data excluding the
'name' and 'age'. Any suggestions on how to best implement this?
Keep in mind this sample code is meant to be an example, I realize
that a person would probably always want the name and age returned.
thanks 3 3309

I guess one solution might be....
def getData(self, includeNameAge=False):
if includeNameAge: return self.data
return dict(filter(lambda item: item[0] not in ('name', 'age'),
self.data.items()))
any other suggestions, improvements?

Do yourself a favor : use new-style classes:
class Person(object):
> def __init__(self, name, age): self.data = {'name' : name, 'age' : age}
You may improve this part with kwargs:
def __init__(self, name, age, **kw):
kw.update(name=name, age=age)
self.data = kw
Also, and FWIW, object attributes are stored in self.___dict__. Do you
have a compelling reason to use yet another 'data' dict ?
> def getData(self, includeNameAge=False): if includeNameAge: return self.data tmp = <shallow or deep copy of 'data'>
tmp = self.data.copy()
> del tmp['name'] del tmp['age'] return tmp
The problem with this implementation (as well as for the other below) is
that in the first case you return a reference to the data dict itself,
while in the second case you return a new dict.
p = Person('bibi', 42, foo='bar')
data = p.getData(True)
data['baaz'] = 'quux'
del data['name']
print p.data
p = Person('bibi', 42, foo='bar')
p.getData()
data['baaz'] = 'quux'
del data['foo']
print p.data
Better to *always* return a copy IMHO.

You might find
return dict((x,y) for (x, y) in self.data.iteritems()
if x not in ('name', 'age'))
easier to understand. Or you might not ...
