Okay, I was able to look at your file and do it in about five minutes; think about what's getting into your dictionary that shouldn't, I'll show you mine; but I want to see a bit more effort, you're close, I guess I would say, be more selective about what makes it into your dictionary...

LOL that's my problem.. Nothing is getting into my dictionary, so i'm really confused on what it is that you mean.... Tried another approach, that does get me input for my keys, but my values are still emypty... {'214': ('', ''), '155': ('', ''), '135': ('', ''), '211': ('', ''), '573': ('', '')}

that is MUCH better, I changed the account balance in mine to a float just because I wasn't sure if you were going to change it. I broke mine down step by step because I like to "show my work" when helping out
def make_dic(file):
with open(file,'r') as f:
file=f.readlines()
dic={}
for line in file:
line=line.split(' ')
clean_tup=tuple()
for num in line:
if num!='':
clean_tup+=(num,)
dic[clean_tup[0]]=clean_tup[1]+' ',float(clean_tup[2].strip('\n'))
return dicyou could also make the key an int if you wanted, and I added that touch of whitespace just because it's more appealing to me. and you could always make them print pretty if you wanted by either manipulating the format or doing a funky little number like:
>>>dic=make_dic('accounts.txt')
>>>for account in dic:
display=''
display+=str(account)+':'
for data in dic[account]:
display+=' '+str(data)

What would i change if i wanted to store the values as lists instead of tuples?

What would i change if i wanted to store the values as lists instead of tuples?
The reason i ask this is bc i just realized that i have to update the values in the dictionary according to deposits and withdraws.. Tuples are immutable aren't they??
TrustyTony 888 ex-Moderator Team Colleague Featured Poster
Rebuilding the tuple from account number and saldo is not much work, but maybe it would be more natural to keep saldo as float.
d={}
line = '155 972-87-1379 3300.26\n'
line = line.strip().split()
if len(line) == 3:
d[int(line[0])] = [line[1], float(line[2])] JoshuaBurleson 23 Posting Whiz

well if you REALLY want to here's a hint: lis=[item for item in tup]

Better not build tuple if you do not want it, but to change it to list, just tell Python to do so:
>>> t = (1,2,3)
>>> list(t)
[1, 2, 3] arson09 5 Junior Poster in Training
well if you REALLY want to here's a hint: lis=[item for item in tup]
In order to update the key values in the dictionary, doesn't they have to be in lists though? I not, i see no reason to change it.

That's kind of an oddly worded question, did you mean update the keys or update the values? If you're talking about values, no they don't HAVE to, but it would be much easier, and more practical to change, but here's an option with tuples:
def up_bal(tup,up):
tupe=tup[0:2]
tupe+=tup[2]+up,
return tupe
>>> a
('this', 'balance', 3.25)
>>> b=up_bal(a,5.23)
>>>
>>> b
('this', 'balance', 8.48) arson09 5 Junior Poster in Training

Sorry about that.. To make it sound more simple, i have another file with more lines of info that reads something like, but with way more lines:
380 2932.48
192 -830.84
379 2338.82
249 3444.99
466 -88.33What i have to do is create another function that reads in the file above and then update the values in the dictionary that i just created in the other function.. The negative numbers are withdraws, and the positives are deposits...

well easy enough; I'd say lists are easier; breaking it down I would do something like "not really showing you too much new here, just showing how what I showed you before but with lists":
def make_dic(file):
with open(file,'r') as f:
file=f.readlines()
dic={}
for line in file:
line=line.split(' ')
clean_lis=[]
for num in line:
if num!='':
clean_lis.append(num)
dic[int(clean_lis[0])]=[clean_lis[1]+' ',float(clean_lis[2].strip('\n'))]
return dic
def lup_bal(lis,up):
cur=lis[-1]
update=float(cur)+float(up)
lis.pop()
new=[account for account in lis]
new.append(update)
lis.pop()
return newNote that in the following I used what you posted and added one to the original file called 192, that way you could see the change, so really only pay attention to 192's change.
>>> bank=make_dic('help.txt')

Can you comment on what exactly it is that the bold is doing?? I haven't been coding in Python for a month yet, so a most of this is still new to me.

If it easier to understand my style here is my version using what I posted in previous post:
from __future__ import print_function

from pprint import pprint
def process_line(data, bank):
data = data.rstrip()
line = data.split()
account_number = int(line[0])
if len(line) == 3:
# establish account
bank[account_number] = [line[1], float(line[2])]
elif len(line) == 2:
if account_number in bank:
bank[account_number][1] += float(line[1])
else:
raise ValueError('Account does not exist in update: %i, %r' % (account_number, data))
else:
raise ValueError('Wrong number of items at line: %r' % data)
def apply_transactions(bank, fn):
with open(fn) as f:
for line in f:
try:
process_line(line, bank)
except ValueError as e:
print(e, file=sys.stderr)
bank={}
for fn in ('help.txt', 'help3.txt'):
apply_transactions(bank, fn)
print()
print('Bank situation')
pprint(bank)
print() arson09 5 Junior Poster in Training
Could any of you recommend a few python books that are good for my programming level(beginner)??
