so, this still doesn't get me an array called 'cat', or 'dog'
sure does, in the stuff dictionary: >>> stuff = {} >>> foo = [] >>> foo.append('cat') >>> foo.append('dog') >>> stuff[foo[1]] = [] >>> stuff {'dog': []}(note that Python indexing starts with zero, so foo[1] refers to the dog entry).
or do i somehow use stuff to add/extract the vals...???
>>> stuff["dog"] [] >>> stuff["dog"].append(1) >>> stuff["dog"] [1] etc. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
