I was going to write a def to loop through and look for certain pre-

regexes are overkill in this case I think.

Why not construct an intermediate dictionary?
elems = [ 'VLAN4065',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',
'Po2',
'Po3',
'Po306',
'VLAN4068',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',
'VLAN4069',
'Interface',
'Gi9/6',]
def makeintermdict(elems):
vd = {}
vlan = None
for el in elems:
if el.startswith('VLAN'):
vlan = el.replace('VLAN','')
elif el == 'Interface':
vd[vlan] = []
else:
vd[vlan].append(el)
return vd
def makelist(interm):
finlist = []
for k in interm.keys():
finlist.append({k:interm[k]})
return finlist
if __name__ == "__main__":
intermediate = makeintermdict(elems)
print intermediate
finlist = makelist(intermediate)
print 'final', finlist
{'4068': ['Gi9/6'], '4069': ['Gi9/6'], '4065': ['Gi9/6', 'Po2', 'Po3',
'Po306']}
final [{'4068': ['Gi9/6']}, {'4069': ['Gi9/6']}, {'4065': ['Gi9/6',
'Po2', 'Po3', 'Po306']}]
I hope this is not your homework. :-)
