<p class=MsoNormal>First, apologies for the formatting – I’m
teaching myself python after having taught myself PHP, so I probably make
amateur mistakes… I’m currently working in a 120-character-wide
environment for my own purposes, with plans to perhaps change this later…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of this program, as it stands now, is to read an
INI file and parse it, line by line. Doing this by hand because my program will
take the INI file and generate multiple INI files for another program, and loop
through them (hence “Loopy” – I didn’t come up with the
name…)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My “Loopy” commands are lines in the INI that
begin with a colon, e.g. “:SET=somename” starts a new set.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Lines 294-335 are where I’ve determined that the input
line contains a key-value pair… Well, I should backtrack…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“set” contains not only the various sets, but I
track where I’m at in set[“+current+”] – I have to
track the current set and section (INI section, e.g. [DEFAULT]).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So what I’m trying to do on line 328 is to store the
current key/value pair in a dictionary under the proper section, which is in
the proper set. Hence, set[setname][section][key]=value<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can see my insanely-verbose log here:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>That was from a run where I commented out line 328…

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Googling “KeyError” seems to indicate problems
while trying to *<b>retrieve</b>* values from a dictionary, whereas I’m
trying to *<b>set</b>* values…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have any insight?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, although I’m not formally requesting feedback on
my coding style, that’s mainly because I don’t want to waste
anyone’s time. But if you have suggestions, please – I’m
open. I’m self-taught and I’m sure I’m doing lots of stupid
things. I just hope it’s not all bad. ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you most sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p>
