Strange outcome using enumerate()

Expand Post »
I have to make some bookmarks so I quickly knocked up the script below and ran it. It created the files fine but with a with an incorrect ip in the second file

The second bookmark created should be named York.URL which it is but the ip address of the url is 192.65.0.95 where it should be 192.65.2.95. It uses the enumerate value and adds 1 each time.

I'd imagine I'd be able to get the desired outcome by using other methods but what is going on here? Am I missing something obvious?

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. from __future__ import print_function
  2.  
  3. shops = [ 'Windermere',
  4.           'York',
  5.           'Chester' ]
  6.  
  7. for i, s in enumerate(shops):
  8.     f = open('%s.URL' % (s), 'w')
  9.     f.write('[InternetShortcut]\nURL=http://192.65.%s.95/BackO' % (i+1))
  10.     f.close()
  11.     print('%s completed' % s)

Re: Strange outcome using enumerate()
This little test code works fine ...
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. shops = [ 'Windermere',
  2.           'York',
  3.           'Chester' ]
  4.  
  5. for i, s in enumerate(shops):
  6.     print(i, s)
  7.     print('[InternetShortcut]\nURL=http://192.65.%s.95/BackO' % (i+1))
  8.  
  9. """my result -->
  10. (0, 'Windermere')
  11. [InternetShortcut]
  12. URL=http://192.65.1.95/BackO
  13. (1, 'York')
  14. [InternetShortcut]
  15. URL=http://192.65.2.95/BackO
  16. (2, 'Chester')
  17. [InternetShortcut]
  18. URL=http://192.65.3.95/BackO
  19. """
... and so does your code (removed first line since I am using Python25).

Why don't you install 2.6 ? It's even better.

Re: Strange outcome using enumerate()
I've just tried it again and it works. How odd, I thought I was going mad!

Re: Strange outcome using enumerate()
Could not reproduce it on python 2.6.2 linux either.
Maybe you have run the pyc version, which was older.
