Help (I can't think of a better title)

[Lanny]

The answer may be right infront of me but I really can't figure this
out.
I'm trying to build a interactive fiction kind of game, silly I know
but I
am a fan of the genre. I'm trying to build up an index of all the
rooms in
the game from an outside file called roomlist.txt. The only problem is
that
every room ends up having four exits. Here's the code.


class room() :
    room_id = 'room_id'
    name = 'room'
    description = 'description'
    item_list =
    exits = {}
    visits = 0
    def leave(self, direction)
        global roomlist
        global player_current_room
        if direction not in player_current_room.exitskeys() :
            print 'There is no exit in that direction.'
            return 1
        roomlist[self.room_id] = self
        player_current_room =
roomlist[player_current_room.exits[direction]]
        print player_current_room.name
        if player_current_room.visits < 1 :
            print player_current_room.description
            if player_current_room.item_list != [] :
                stdout.write('You can see ')
                for item in player_current_room.item_list :
                    stdout.write('a')
                    if item.display_name[0] in ['a','e','i','o','u'] :
                                 stdout.write('n ' + item.display_name
+
',')
                    else :
                        stdout.write(item.display_name + ',')
                        pass

                print
            print 'Exits:',
            for way in player_current_room.exits :
                print way.capitalize(),
            print
            player_current_room.visits += 1
            pass
        else :
            player_current_room.visits += 1
            pass
        pass

def build_rooms(room_file) :
    global roomlist
    rfile = open(room_file)
    tmp_builder = ''
    for line in rfile :
        tmp_builder = tmp_builder + line[:-1]
        pass
    for location in tmp_builder.rsplit('::') :
        if location.rsplit(';')[-1] == '' :
            location = location[:-1]
        if len(location.rsplit(';')) != 5 :
            if '-dev' or '-v' in argv :
                print location.rsplit(';')[0], 'had',
len(location.rsplit(';')), 'values in it, 5 expected'
                for value in location.rsplit(';') :
                    print; print value
                    foobar.append(value)
                print 'A room failed to initalize due to either too
much or
not enough values being present in the build file'
                pass
            pass
        else :
            roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]] = room()
            roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]].room_id =
location.rsplit(';')[0]
            roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]].name =
location.rsplit(';')[1]
            roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]].description =
location.rsplit(';')[2]
            if location.rsplit(';')[3] != 'none' :
                pass
            tmp_var = location.rsplit(';')[4]
            print location.rsplit(';')[0],
roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]].exits, 'before'
            for way in tmp_var.rsplit(',') :
                roomlist[location.rsplit(';')[0]].exits[way.rsplit(':')
[0]]
= way.rsplit(':')[1]

roomlist = {}
build_rooms('room_list.txt')

And here is the roomlist.txt file :

start_room;
Starting Room;
This is the starting room, if you can read this text it means that at
least
one part of this beta is working.;
none;
north:second_room,west:aux_room;
::
second_room;
Second Room;
Yo, Yo! This is the second room, if you can see this text a
substantitally
greater amount of the game is running than would have been if you
didn't see
this text.;
apple;
south:start_room;
::
aux_room;
Auxillary Room;
No, there aren't any barbarian conscripts here, but there is a table!;
none;
east:start_room;

Ideally roomlist['start_room'].exits would equal {'aux_room' :
'west',
'second_room' : 'north'} but it doesn't. Sorry if this is unclear or
too
long, but I'm really stumped why it is giving bad output
