You can use dict.items() to iterate over key, value pairs, then access
the elements of the value list using regular list indexing. I'm not sure
how you want to select res for John and ph for William so here is an
example that prints res for both:
In [11]: d = {'John':['ph=919873673','res=91928827737'] , 'William' :
['ph=91983763','res=91837474848'] }
In [12]: for name, phones in d.items():
: print name, phones[1]
William res=91837474848
John res=91928827737
Note that the ordering of keys is essentially random. If you want the
list in order by name, you can sort the items:
In [13]: for name, phones in sorted(d.items()):
print name, phones[1]
John res=91928827737
William res=91837474848
Using enumerate() and some string formatting will give you a sequence
number:
In [17]: for i, (name, phones) in enumerate(sorted(d.items())):
print '%s. %s %s' % (i+1, name, phones[1])
1. John res=91928827737
2. William res=91837474848
Docs:
dict.items(): http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html#l2h-294
sorted(): http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-68
enumerate(): http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-24
string formatting: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html
Two more notes:
- Don't use dict as the name for a dict (or list to name a list, or str
to name a string) as it shadows the name of the built-in type.
- Please don't send HTML mail to the list - use plain text
