hello,
i have created this function that compares the values of a csv file
against a dictionary, you can see the code, here
http://paste.lisp.org/display/76705
the affiliations list has 130 items.
is there a better way to build the 'items' list?
Please define "better".
If you mean less code, create a list of just the variable values:
values = [['AAC', 'Association of Airline Cons.'], ['AALA', 'Adv.
Activity Licence. Auth.'], ...]
then provide some code to read the list and construct the dicts. In the
above I assume all is_selected are False so there is no need to include
that.
But why a list of dictionaries? Would not the values list be sufficient?
Or possibly even better define a class (Cls) and make each list entry an
instance of the class.
Then values = [Cls('AAC', 'Association of Airline Cons.'), Cls('AALA',
'Adv. Activity Licence. Auth.'), ...]
That I think would be far more useful in the long run.
