Sorry for not being more clear. I'm using Zope to store the hours
of each library on the campus. The hours of each library will be
set on a basis of Monday - Friday. i.e. Monday for a specific library,
let's say Downtown Campus Library will stored as an attribute of <span>8am
- 9pm, in Zope, and each day till Friday will be stored as the hours
dictate. I'm generating a print-out based on these hours and info
for the general public. The goal of mine is to group all the
libraries under one heading if they have the exact same hours, to cut
back on redundancy when a user looks at it. <br>
So when I say: </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="q">collect = item.Monday + item.Tuesday + item.Wednesday + item.Thursday + item.Friday + item.Saturday + item.Sunday, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
the
order is already this preset configuration. I want 'collect' to
be static so it can compare it against another libraries hours and
group it if necessary. The libraries that fail to be duplicates
of other libraries will be generated as usual under the grouped
libraries. They will have a single heading.<br>
<br>
An example can be seen here of what I am trying to achieve: <a href="http://www.libraries.wvu.edu/hours/summer.pdf">http://www.libraries.wvu.edu/hours/summer.pdf</a><br>
These are the outputs I failed to mention last time.<br>

It is very unclear what you are trying to do. Why not explain what<br>you want the output to be. You will get better answers.<br><br>As a first stab at what you are doing wrong:<br>collect = item.Monday + item.Tuesday +
item.Wednesday + item.Thursday<br>+ item.Friday + item.Saturday + item.Sunday<br><br>The above is string addition and the result is a string. The ouput<br>you provide is in fact a list with no duplicates, i.e. there are no
<br>two strings the same.<br><br>If order is not important to you a structure that will give you an<br>'unordered list with no duplicates' is a set (available in the std<br>library in Python 2.3 and 2.4, see the cookbook for recipies for
<br>earlier versions of Python). Note that sets are unordered, i.e. no<br>guarentee is made about what order the elements are accessed in when<br>you iterate over them.<br><br>-Chris<br><br>On 6/9/05, Derek Perriero <
