wrong output in matching elements of a list of list in python -


i have list of list in python sample data looks this:

list_of_list = = [['ab2768', 'new york city', '25.0'], ['ab1789', 'san francisco', '38.0'], ['ab6783', 'chicago', '7.0'], ['ab2897', 'new york city', '30.0']]

what have passing 2 parameters function - id, city. in function matching if bot parameters match return third value else return 0. here code far:

def match_records(id, city):     list_of_list = [['ab2768', 'new york city', '25.0'], ['ab1789', 'san francisco', '38.0'], ['ab6783', 'chicago', '7.0'],['ab2897', 'new york city', '30.0']]       enrollment = ''      print("searching id- " + str(id))     print("searching city- " + str(city))     idnum, cityname, val in list_of_list:         print(idnum + ', ' + cityname + ', ' + val)         if str(idnum.strip()) != '' , str(id.lower().strip()) != str(idnum.lower().strip()) , str(                 city.lower().strip()) not in str(cityname.lower().strip()):             print('either id empty or id not found or city not found')             flag = 1          else:             print('found mactch')             flag = 0             enrollment = val             break      return (flag == 0, enrollment)

if print(match_records('ab2768', 'san francisco')) ideally should false ab2768 , san francisco not in same list getting true. in fact if either of 2 inputs correct returning true. know error somewhere in if logic unable guess is. mistake here?

you can use "truthy" statements in code:

def match_records(id, city):     list_of_list = [['ab2768', 'new york city', '25.0'], ['ab1789', 'san francisco', '38.0'], ['ab6783', 'chicago', '7.0'], ['ab2897', 'new york city', '30.0']]      new_list = [i in list_of_list if id in , any(city in b b in i)]     if new_list:           return new_list[0][-1]     else:           return 0   print(match_records('ab2768', 'san francisco'))

in example, code looks of sublists contain both id , city. however, if both not found in same sublist, sublist not added enter list in comprehension. thus, if no match found, empty list created. in python, empty list evaluates false, returning boolean give false.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
