Combining Lists and Tupels

[Batista, Facundo]

#- Hello,
#- 
#- for an exercise I have to programm a python script
#- which sorts name, family names and addresses from a csv-File.
#- The csv-File looks like this:
#- 
#- familyname;name;street;house-number;town-code;town
#- 
#- I did it like this:
#- 
#- f=open("test.csv")
#- 
#- try:
#-     while 1:
#-             currentline=f.readline()
#-             data=string.split(currentline, ";")
#- 
#-             address=data[2], data[3], data[4]
#-             list[i]=data[0], data[1], address
#-             i+=1
#- finally:
#-     print "test error"

You're not thinking in a Python way.

f = file("test.csv")
list = []
for currentline in f:
	data = currentline.split()
	address = (data[2], data[3], data[4])
	list.append((data[0], data[1], address))

Pay attention to the double (( and )) in the append.

Sometimes the ( and ) are optional when you construct a tuple, but it's
recomended not to skip them.
