Dear Folks,
I am currently developing a python program, let us call it generic.py,

I want to execute a command from within python using the subprocess module.
Coming from a Perl background, I thought I could use variable
interpolation in strings, but found that this is neither supported nor
the Python way. Accordingly, I am a little at sea about how to

You'd have to post an example of that, but you could try deleting some
of the entries before sorting so see whether you can still reproduce the
problem with a smaller list.

Dear Folks,
I have lines of values like so:
14, [25, 105, 104]
10, [107, 106, 162]

I need to sort them in two ways:
(a) By the numeric value of the first column; and
(b) by the sum of the elements of the second item in each list, which is
a list in itself.

Dear Folks,
I have read that one should use a dictionary in python to accommodate
dynamic variable names. Yet, I am puzzled how to achieve that in my
case. Here is what I want to do:
1. The user inputs a number of six-digit hex numbers as a
comma-separated list. These numbers represent
