[Tutor] printing values from one list that correspond to that in another list

Sun Jun 6 14:02:23 EDT 2004

Hello all,

I'm trying to get the program to take user input and, if it is in the 
'alphabet' list (alphabet = 
['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H'
,
'I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z']), to 
print the corresponding entry in the binary list (binary = 
['01','10','11',etc.]) so that when 'a' is entered, '01' is printed and so on. The current 
attempt is below and it doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

def convertxt():
    if original in alphabet[:26]:
        print binary[:26]
    if original in alphabet[26:]:
        print binary[:26]
def convertnum():
    whichconv = raw_input("""Convert to:
1: Binary
2: Hexadecimal
""")
    if whichconv in('1','Binary','binary','bin','b'):
        if char in number:
            print binary[int(original) - 1]
    elif whichconv in('2','Hexadecimal','hexadecimal','hexadec','hex','h'):
        if char in number:
            print hexadec[int(original) - 1]
