Hello, pos = {"CLown":10,"BArbie":20} I want to return integer (10) for the keyword that starts with "CL"
cl_ = [v for k, v in pos.items() if k.startswith('CL')] cl_pos = cl_[0] if cl_pos > 0: blah.. There are 2 issues with the above: a. ugly - cl_pos = cl_ [0] . I was thinking something like cl_ = [v for k, v in pos.items() if k.startswith('CL')][0] but that is too much for the eyes - in 2 weeks i'll rewrite this into something i can understand without banging against the desk. So what can be a better approach here ? b. in "cl_pos > 0:, cl_pos apparently is still a list. Though the run in a python console has no issues and report cl_pos as int.
