I have a problem that I can come up with a brute force solution to solve but it occurred to me that there may be an "one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it".
I am going to read a text file that is an export from a control system. It has lines with information like base=1 name="first one" color=blue I would like to put this info into a dictionary for processing. I have looked at optparse and getopt maybe they are the answer but there could be and very straight forward way to do this task. Thanks for your help -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
