Back to python after a long long layoff. So i am running into some
beginner's confusion...
I am trying to plot a list of numbers in gnuplot.py. To do that I am
trying to pack the list with an index by iterating over the list so i
can get something like:
foo = [12, 11, 9, 6, 2, 9, 3, 8, 12, 3, 5, 6]
[ [1, 12], [2, 11], [3, 9], [4, 6], [5, 2], [6, 9], [7, 3], [8, 8] ... ]
So that i have x, y pairs to plot. When i print in my func i get the
right thing, for each item (note scaffolding) yet when i reurn the
whole list i just get the last pair repeated over and over.
I am not sure why this is.
def pack(in_seq):
out_list=[]
x = 1
ll=[1, 1]
for each in in_seq:
ll[0] = x
ll[1] = each
out_list.append(ll)
#print ll
x = x + 1
print out_list
# function declarations would go here
def test():
"""test function - say what this does here and skip a line
Keyword arguments:
none
"""
print
foo = minus(200)
plot_me = pack(foo)
#print foo
print
print plot_me
if __name__ == "__main__":
test()
