this is more purely a python question as i am using external methods for
most of my processing.... SOS,,, perl guy getting squeezed by the snake.
so this seems like it should be trivial but as a perl hack just learing,
i'm not sure of the syntax, or if i am missing something basic about the
dictionary type.
so, i have a list of strings that will be used as keys, say:
>>> my_list['K1','K2','K3']
for each of those keys, i would like to create a dictionary that has as
its value a dictionary that like the following:
>>>test = {'us_lead': 0,
>>> 'foreign_lead': 0,
>>> 'us_gov_lead': 0,
>>> 'foreign_lead': 0,
>>> 'us_other': 0,
>>> 'foreign_other': 0 }
>>>for i in my_list:
>>> hash_one = {i: ""}
>>> hash_one[i] = test
this seems to "reset" the value of has_one with each iteration instead of
updating it?? the key should be different, why is this??
