Let's say Bob enters his name, 'Bob Jones,' into a Tkinter text entry field. Later, I want to be able to access his name like this:
BobJones = {
'name':'Bob Jones',
'pet\'s name':'Fido'
}
How do I make it so I assign whatever Bob inputs as a new variable without having to manually write it in?
Thanks in advance.
To expand on the comments above, I think you'd want something more like this:
# Define the user class - what data do we store about users:
class User(object):
def __init__(self, user_name, first_pet):
self.user_name = user_name
self.first_pet = first_pet
# Now gather the actual list of users
users = []
while someCondition:
user_name, first_pet = getUserDetails()
users.append(User(user_name, first_pet))
# Now we can use it
print "The first users name is:"
print users[0].user_name
So you're defining the class (think of it as a template) for the Users, then creating new User objects, one for each person, and storing them in the users list.
