Lists & Passwords
 

Hey guys, I've came across problem and wondering say if you have a 2 lists called user_list and pass_list and you have a prompt for username and password. Instead of 1 user name and password how could it be for all can be used at the same prompt? heres an example of my code:

#Start of the program

print "Welcome To the Server!"

#Varible i'm using for later on in the program

a = 0



#The list of user names

user_list = ['sam','bob','tom']

#And list of passwords

pass_list1 = ['12','13','14']



#The prompt ofr the username and password

username = raw_input("Username: ") % user_list

if username =='user_list':

    password = raw_input("Password: ") % pass_list1

 if password.lower() == 'pass_list1':

Hello, Looking at your code, you only need one thing changed, the if parts part.

#Start of the program

print "Welcome To the Server!"

#Varible i'm using for later on in the program

a = 0



#The list of user names

user_list = ['sam','bob','tom']

#And list of passwords

pass_list1 = ['12','13','14']



#The prompt ofr the username and password

username = raw_input("Username: ")

for user in user_list:

    if username == user:

        password = raw_input("Password: ")

for pass in pass_list1:

    if password.lower() == pass:

       <insert rest of code here>

If you have any more questions, just ask.

python has a keyword function

in

that would be useful in your example.

if password in pass_list1:

    # do something
