Hi, I'm using a script to fetch my calendar events. I split the output
at newline which produced a list 'lst'. I'm trying to clean it up and
create a dictionary with date:event key value pairs. However this is
throwing up a bunch of errors.
lst = ['', 'Thu Apr 04 Weigh In', '', 'Sat

Thank you Steven! I followed your tips and came up with this:
lst = filter(None, lst)
lst = [item.split(' ', 1) for item in lst]
lst = [item for sublist in lst for item in sublist]
lst = filter(None, lst)
dict = {}
for item in lst:
if item.startswith(('Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat'

Hi all,
For the first, I would use
lst = [x for x in l
I ran into a bit of problem with my revised code based on Steven's
suggestions.
lst = ['', 'Thu Apr 04 Weigh In', '', 'Sat Apr 06 Collect

What just happened here? :)
I am trying to learn python so i'm sorry if my mistakes seem trivial.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Ive tried copy-pasting the line.
I've tried entering underscores manually. doesn't work.

Dictionaries are unordered. That is to say, they have no defined order, when
you print them, or iterate over them, items will appear in whatever order

remark was kinda tough on me. You correctly pointed out his intent. So my
apologies to Mark.

I don't know how the underline tags got in there. They aren't

your email program substituted "**". Others substituted "__".
There'd be no problem if you didn't use rich text in the first
