[Tutor] need help with a script..

[Khalid Al-Ghamdi]

Hi All,

I'm using python 3.2 on a windows xp.

I wrote the below script and ran it with the hope of returning a list of
proctors (list_proc), but when it runs it  doesn't call the function
convert_proctors() as intended. On the other hand, when i import the module
from the IDLE prompt and call the convert_proctors() function, the function
returns the desired list.

Why is this so?

Thanks


   1. import csv
   2.
   3. proctor_file=r'c:\Python32\Khalid Stuff\Testing_Scheduler\p
   roctors.csv'
   4.
   5.
   6. def convert_proctors():
   7.     proctor_csv_reader = csv.reader(open(proctor_file))
   8.     proctor_list=list(proctor_csv_reader)
   9.     list_proc=[]
   10.     for row in range(len(proctor_list)):
   11.         list_proc.append(proctor_list[row][0])
   12.     return (list_proc)
   13.
   14.
   15. convert_proctors()
