Question

I’ve just learning python after PHP, and it’s python style is very strange for me.
I’m asking for advice, how you write this code on python:

data = []
for line in file:
  name, surname, phone, address, email, etc = line.split(";", 6)
  data.append( {'nick': nick, 'surname': surname, 'phone': phone, 'address': address, 'email':  email, 'etc': etc} )

My code looks like PHP -_-

Answer 1

It is ok. Sure, you may do something like:

data.append(dict(zip(('name', 'surname', 'phone', 'address', 'email', 'etc'),
                     line.split(";", 6))))

but your variant is more readable.
