I'm trying to generate an HTML table, from multiple lists.
There are 4 lists total, each of which *may* have a different length from
the other lists.
Each list has been stored in a master dictionary.
North=[Bill, Bob, Sue, Mary]
South=['Tim', ''Tom', 'Jim', 'John', 'Carl', 'Evan', 'Rich']
etc
Out of curiosity, if it's not possible to run zip() directly on the lists
that you have, can you bend the lists so that zip() will fit?
It is possible, however zip() truncates the longer list, based on the size
of the smaller list, so it's just not feasible in my case.
Here's a quick function
map(None, North, South, East West) does exactly what you want:
North=['Bill', 'Bob', 'Sue', 'Mary']
South=['Tim', 'Tom', 'Jim', 'John', 'Carl', 'Evan', 'Rich']
map(None, North, South)
[('Bill', 'Tim'), ('Bob', 'Tom'), ('Sue', 'Jim'), ('Mary', 'John'), (None,
'Carl'), (None, 'Evan'),
I'm trying to get Python to automatically print a leading 0 for hex
numbers, but it only
seems to work for for decimal numbers.
print 0x%0X % 12345
displays
0x3039
instead of 0x03039
The Python docs state
The conversion will be zero padded for numeric values, when a 0 is used as
a flag
92 matches
