I need to dynamically create dictionary names using strings input at the time of creation. These will then be placed into a "Parent" dictionary.
I'm new to python, and programming, so please bear with me. here's my initial thought but I don't think it will work... item[5]='Kitchen Ceiling Lights' devDictName = item[5].replace(' ','+') 'dict_'+devDictName = [{'Group':item[2], 'Status':item[3], 'DimLevel':item[4], 'DeviceName':item[5], 'Location':item[6], 'HouseCode':item[7], 'LastChange':item[8], 'DeviceType':item[9], 'CanDim':item[10], 'Values':item[11]}] dictDevices[item[0],'dict_'+devDictName] thanks for the help! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
