Question

D= dict[a= 2, b=4, c=1, d=3]

I am using the above dictionary after sorting (ascending order) and displaying the sorted value along with the lowest value.

Desired output in the dialogue box

c=1
a=2
d=3
b=4

c lowest value is 1

I am trying the following code:

D dict[a= 2, b=4, c=1, d=3]
f= sorted(D.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))
g= f[0]
f= [str(x) for x in f]
g= [str(x) for x in g]
msg= '\n'.join(f) + 'lowest value is\n'.join(g)
dlg= wx.MessageDialog(self,msg,"lowest value",wx.OK)
dlg.showModal()
dlg.Destroy()

using this we are getting:

(c=1)
(a=2)
(d=3)
(b=4)c
lowest value is 1

we do not want ‘c’ after b=4 instead we want ‘c’ in the next line as in desired output.
please help…

Answer 1

Insert extra newline characters:

msg = '\n'.join(f) + '\n\n' + ' lowest value is '.join(g) + '\n'

although the last line would be more logically built as:

msg = '\n'.join(f) + '\n\n%s lowest value is %s\n' % tuple(g)

And how about your dictionary definition?

D dict[a= 2, b=4, c=1, d=3]

was meant as

D = {'a': 2, 'b':4, 'c':1, 'd':3}
