Question

I have a dictionary like this in my django project which correspond to a config field:

{u'active': True,
 u'alert': {u'item_sent': True,
            u'emails': [u'[e-mail]', u'[e-mail]'],
            u'job': u'500.00',
            u'in_negative': False}}

How do I loop through each of the emails above and append '.fake' to the end of them? I was going for this – "[e-mail]"

I was doing this but it didn’t change the list items:

for p in practice:
    email_count = len(p.config['alert']['emails'])
    if email_count > 0:
        print 'WE HAVE EMAILS'
        i = 0
        while i < email_count:        
            p.config['alert']['emails'][i] += '.fake'
            print p.config['alert']['emails'][i]
            i += 1
        p.save()

Turns out I needed to assign p.config to a variable first before editing it. ‘P’ represents a practice object.

for p in practices:
    config = p.config

    config['alert']['emails'] = [
        '.{0}.fake'.format(x)
        for x in config['alert']['emails']
    ]

    p.config = config

    p.save()
