I�m with problem in Dictionaries !

Glauco,
since this question is not directly related to idle but to the language Python,
it should be addressed to comp.lang.python. In case you are a Portuguese
speaker person (guessing from your name), you could also seek help in
hte python-br mailing list.


In order to not let your question withou answer...

I would like to know if the dictionary can sort with a function that i give to then!

Dictionaries do not impose any particular order to their key/value pairs. One possible idiom to achieve what you want is the following:

# do not use dict as the name of your variable
# because 'dict' is the name and identifier of the class dict
>>> d  = {}
>>> d[50]="fifty"
>>> d[129]="one hundred twenty nine"
>>> d
{129: 'one hundred twenty nine', 50: 'fifty'}

# extract the keys
>>> sorted_keys = d.keys()
# sort inplace, this returns None
>>> sorted_keys.sort()
# traverse the dictionary using the sorted keys list
>>> for i in sorted_keys:
print d[i]
fifty
one hundred twenty nine
>>>


If you are using Python  2.4, you could also use:
>>> for i in sorted(d.keys()):
           print d[i]

best regards,
Rod Senra
