I am trying to load this file into a dictionary, where using the word are the key values and the keys are actually auto-gen/auto-incremented for each word
e.g {0:10th, 1:1st, 2:2nd} ...etc..etc...
below is the code i've hobbled together so far, it seems to sort of works but its only showing me the last entry in the file as the only dict pair element
f3data = open('words')
mydict = {}
for line in f3data:
print line.strip()
cmyline = line.split()
key = +1
mydict [key] = cmyline
print mydict
479
By using the get() function we can increment a dictionary value and this method takes the key value as a parameter and it will check the condition if the key does not contain in the dictionary it will return the default value. If the given key exists in a dictionary then it will always return the value of the key.
We can use integer, string, tuples as dictionary keys but cannot use list as a key of it .
The methods dict. keys() and dict. values() return lists of the keys or values explicitly.
It definitely can have a list and any object as value but the dictionary cannot have a list as key because the list is mutable data structure and keys cannot be mutable else of what use are they.
key = +1
+1 is the same thing as 1. I assume you meant key += 1. I also can't see a reason why you'd split each line when there's only one item per line.
However, there's really no reason to do the looping yourself.
with open('words') as f3data:
mydict = dict(enumerate(line.strip() for line in f3data))
