What I'd like to do, is output a transposed-like summary of just the
Fixture + RaceTime.
Sund 1103 1119 1134 1148 1204 1218 1232 1247 1304 1319 1333 1351
Sheff 1111 1128 1142 1157 1212 1227 1242 1258 1312 1327 1344 1403
As the races are output, I build a dictionary of key=FixtureName and
value=RaceTimes:
Good start although I'd probably have just built a list rather than
building a long string.
if FixtureName not in FixtureList:
FixtureList[FixtureName] = cRaceTime
else:
FixtureList[FixtureName]+= " " + cRaceTime
if FixtureName not in FixtureList:
FixtureList[FixtureName] = [cRaceTime]
else:
FixtureList[FixtureName].append(cRaceTime)
And then, when I want the summary to be printed:
for fixture in FixtureList:
print fixture.ljust(6), FixtureList[fixture]
for fixture, fixtures in FixtureList:.iteritems()
print "%s\t%s" % (fixture, " ".join(fixtures))
It works, but have I done it the "python" way?
Can't I unpack both the key and value from FixtureList?
iteritems() as above.
Another thing I'd like to change is the ljust(). I believe it's
depreciated later in 3.0+, so I should really find an alternative.
Using a format string you can control justification and total space,
however I just added a tab character.
