I’m getting a keyerror exception when I input a player name here that is not in the records list. I can search it and get back any valid name, but if I input anything else, i get a keyerror. I’m not really sure how to go about handling this since it’s kindof confusing already dealing with like 3 sets of data created from parsing my file.
I know this code is bad I’m new to python so please excuse the mess – also note that this is a sortof test file to get this functionality working, which I will then write into functions in my real main file. Kindof a testbed here, if that makes any sense.
This is what my data file, stats4.txt, has in it:
[00000] Cho'Gath - 12/16/3 - Loss - 2012-11-22
[00001] Fizz - 12/5/16 - Win - 2012-11-22
[00002] Caitlyn - 13/4/6 - Win - 2012-11-22
[00003] Sona - 4/5/9 - Loss - 2012-11-23
[00004] Sona - 2/1/20 - Win - 2012-11-23
[00005] Sona - 6/3/17 - Loss - 2012-11-23
[00006] Caitlyn - 14/2/16 - Win - 2012-11-24
[00007] Lux - 10/2/14 - Win - 2012-11-24
[00008] Sona - 8/1/22 - Win - 2012-11-27
Here’s my code:
import re
info = {}
records = []
search = []
with open('stats4.txt') as data:
for line in data:
gameid = [item.strip('[') for item in line.split(']')]
del gameid[-1]
gameidstr = ''.join(gameid)
gameid = gameidstr
line = line[7:]
player, stats, outcome, date = [item.strip() for item in line.split('-', 3)]
stats = dict(zip(('kills', 'deaths', 'assists'), map(int, stats.split('/'))))
date = tuple(map(int, date.split('-')))
info[player] = dict(zip(('gameid', 'player', 'stats', 'outcome', 'date'), (gameid, player, stats, outcome, date)))
records.append(tuple((gameid, info[player])))
print "\n\n", info, "\n\n" #print the info dictionary just to see
champ = raw_input() #get champion name
#print info[champ].get('stats').get('kills'), "\n\n"
#print "[%s] %s - %s/%s/%s - %s-%s-%s" % (info[champ].get('gameid'), champ, info[champ].get('stats').get('kills'), info[champ].get('stats').get('deaths'), info[champ].get('stats').get('assists'), info[champ].get('date')[0], info[champ].get('date')[1], info[champ].get('date')[2])
#print "\n\n"
#print info[champ].values()
i = 0
for item in records: #this prints out all records
print "\n", "[%s] %s - %s/%s/%s - %s - %s-%s-%s" % (records[i][0], records[i][1]['player'], records[i][1]['stats']['kills'], records[i][1]['stats']['deaths'], records[i][1]['stats']['assists'], records[i][1]['outcome'], records[i][1]['date'][0], records[i][1]['date'][1], records[i][1]['date'][2])
i = i + 1
print "\n" + "*" * 50
i = 0
for item in records:
if champ in records[i][1]['player']:
search.append(records[i][1])
else:
pass
i = i + 1
s = 0
if not search:
print "no availble records" #how can I get this to print even if nothing is inputted in raw_input above for champ?
print "****"
for item in search:
print "\n[%s] %s - %s/%s/%s - %s - %s-%s-%s" % (search[s]['gameid'], search[s]['player'], search[s]['stats']['kills'], search[s]['stats']['deaths'], search[s]['stats']['assists'], search[s]['outcome'], search[s]['date'][0], search[s]['date'][1], search[s]['date'][2])
s = s + 1
I tried setting up a Try; Except sort of thing but I couldn’t get any different result when entering an invalid player name. I think I could probably set something up with a function and returning different things if the name is present or not but I think I’ve just gotten myself a bit confused. Also notice that no match does indeed print for the 8 records that aren’t matches, though thats not quite how I want it to work. Basically I need to get something like that for any invalid input name, not just a valid input that happens to not be in a record in the loop.
Valid input names for this data are:
Cho’Gath, Fizz, Caitlyn, Sona, or Lux – anything else gives a keyerror, thats what I need to handle so it doesn’t raise an error and instead just prints something like “no records available for that champion” (and prints that only once, rather then 8 times)
Thanks for any help!
[edit] I was finally able to update this code in the post (thank you martineau for getting it added in, for some reason backticks aren’t working to block code and it was showing up as bold normal text when i pasted. Anyways, look at if not search, how can I get that to print even if nothing is entered at all? just pressing return on raw_input, currently it prints all records after **** even though i didn’t give it any search champ
Here’s some modifications that I think address your problem. I also reformatted the code to make it a little more readable. In Python it’s possible to continue long lines onto the next either by ending with a
\or just going to the next line if there’s an unpaired ‘(‘ or ‘[‘ on the previous line.Also, the way I put code in my questions or answer here is by cutting it out of my text editor and then pasting it into the edit window, after that I make sure it’s all selected and then just use the
{}tool at the top of edit window to format it all.
