Hello, all.
I am a newcomer to Python, and I know that I have much learning to do
before I implement my idea, but I am working on the beginnings of a
vocabulary building program. This is how I am catching new words at the
moment.
def newVocab(x,y):
Add new word pair, English word second.
Thanks for your input. I had discounted the idea of a dictionary
because all the keys need to be unique, so whether the key is the
English or non-English word, it couldn't cope with for example "too",
or a similar word in the other language.

Thats true but the values can be lists and do not need to be unique.
Its probably a better starting point that search through a list looking at
every item.

Hi folks,
A few months back I posted my first (and only) recipe to
ActiveState. It was just a little function to convert an integer or
its string representation to an ordinal value: 1 to 1st, 2 to 2nd,
etc.

I have a SQLite cursor which I want to traverse more than once, eg...

Method2 is never run, I guess because the pointer is at the bottom of

Hi,
?
A dictionary (associative array of keys and values) seems a good
datatype to use. vocab = {} vocab[frenchword]?= englishword
?

Cheers!!

Sure, a dict is the obvious choice. For saving into file, if the app is
to be used internally, you can even print it in the

Perhaps the code on activestate is not a correct copy of what you are
running? The conditional at line 23 extends all the way to line 35 -
the end of the function - so if value % 100/10 == 1 no more code is

Geez -- I think I found the (now-obvious) mistake. If you compare the
above to the ActiveState recipe, it's obvious that I forgot to copy
over the final, outer else: clause.
