I am an experienced perl programmer learning python ( no commente please
).
In looking at a sample script at
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/269708
I found the following code snippet.
--------------------------------------------------
location = 'myHome'
fileLocation = {'myHome' :path1,
'myOffice' :path2,
'somewhere':path3}[location]
-----------------------------------------------------
It seems that this is setting up fileLocation as a dictionary, but what
is the "[location]" doing?
