Which is one of the primary reasons we've adopted it so strongly at gci.net.
Well, one of the reasons I've adopted it anyway. :D
Too bad the first cut didn't work. I found two bugs, but they're fixed (and
tested!). Jon, try this instead if you're so inclined:
#!/usr/bin/env python
datafile = file('testfile')
data = datafile.read()
datafile.close()
map = {}
lines = [eval(line)[0] for line in data.split('\n') if line]
for host, foo, index in lines:
map[int(index)] = host, foo
map = [(k, v, d) for k, (v, d) in map.items()]
map.sort()
for index, host, foo in map:
print "('%s', '%s', '%s')" % (host, foo, index, )
Given the sample you provided:
troy@whiterabbit tmp $ cat testfile
('C952tenblpl.zap2it.com', 'TENBLPL', '952'),
('C953tenblox.zap2it.com', 'TENBLOX', '953'),
('C99oln.zap2it.com', 'OLN', '99'),
('C9loor009.zap2it.com', 'LOOR009', '9'),
You can save and execute this file as 'test.py'. I get these results:
troy@whiterabbit tmp $ python test.py
('C9loor009.zap2it.com', 'LOOR009', '9')
('C99oln.zap2it.com', 'OLN', '99')
('C952tenblpl.zap2it.com', 'TENBLPL', '952')
('C953tenblox.zap2it.com', 'TENBLOX', '953')
