This is what I've tried sofar:
err1.py:
import sys
somestring = "something %%and some other %(var)s"
dict = { 'key_1': { 'var': '<some_val>' },
'key_2': { 'var': '<some_other_val>'}
}
print somestring % dict[sys.argv[1]]
$ python err1.py key_1
Traceback (innermost last):import sys
File "err1.py", line 8, in ?
print somestring % dict[sys.argv[1]]
TypeError: not all arguments converted
err2.py:
import sys
somestring = "something \%and some other %(var)s"
dict = { 'key_1': { 'var': '<some_val>' },
'key_2': { 'var': '<some_other_val>'}
}
print somestring % dict[sys.argv[1]]
$ python err2.py key_2
Traceback (innermost last):
File "err2.py", line 8, in ?
print somestring % dict[sys.argv[1]]
ValueError: unsupported format character
I have a solution, but that is not what i really want. My
solution is:
sol.py:
import sys
somestring = "something %(percent)cand some other %(var)s"
dict = { 'key_1': { 'var': '<some_val>', 'percent': '%' },
'key_2': { 'var': '<some_other_val>', 'percent': '%' }
}
print somestring % dict[sys.argv[1]]
$ python sol.py key_2
something %and some other <some_other_val>
Has anybody a (better) solution to my problem ?
Please reply by mail since I don't read this group often.
