Hi Het, How about: v1, v2, v3 = map(request.get, ['v1','v2','v3'], [-1]*3) -steve On Tuesday, November 27, 2001, at 09:58 AM, H.de.Wit@SFK.NL wrote:
Hello,
I write the following code repeatedly:
if request.has_key('v1'): v1=request.v1 else: v1=-1
if request.has_key('v2'): v2=request.v2 else: v2=-1
etc.
Is there a way to do this more efficient and clean, something like this:
for reqvar in ['v1','v2','v3']: if request.haskey(reqvar): reqvar=request.reqvar #this doesn't work else reqvar=-1 # and this also not.
Het vriendelijke groeten,
