What I want is if host already exists it would overwrite otherwise add to database. And if host doesn't exist it will first add this host to database and then compare its IP with IPs of rest of hosts. If ip matches with any of the other hosts, it will delete the host that it just added now.
It sounds like you should be maintaining two dictionaries: hostname --> IP (+ other host-related data) IP --> hostname Given a (newhost, newip) pair, first look for newip in the IP --> hostname dictionary. If it's there and the old hostname equals newhost, you're finished. If it's there with a different hostname, first delete that entry from IP --> hostname, and also delete the old hostname from hostname --> IP. Now add tne new entry to both dictionaries. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
