Question

What would the cleanest way to the following pseudocode be?

class Player
   id
   name

class Participant  (is a subset of Player with an added status)
   player_id (ForeignKey to Player)
   status

So you can have a list of Players (Wayne, Chuck, Bobby)
And then a list of Participants (Wayne(status:YES), Bobby(status:NO))
Notice that Chuck is not inside the participant list.

So, I am iterating over all the Players, and outputting the status if the Participants exist.

player_list = list with Player objects
participant_list = list with Participant objects

for player in player_list:
   if player.id exists in participant_list //QUESTION IS HERE: HOW DO I DO THIS???
         print participant.status

I am not sure how to check the inside id of the list that contains Objects???

Answer 1

add in another loop

player_list = list with Player objects
participant_list = list with Participant objects

for player in player_list:
    for participant in participant_list:
        if player == participant.player:
            print participant.status
            break

Not the prettiest solution but simple.
