Non-computer-programmers: look away now. Python is a programming language as well as a snake.
I've been getting to know Python over the last few months, and I just love how easy some things are in it, being a truely object-oriented and pretty dynamically-typed scripting language. For instance, to turn a string (or list or tuple) of letters that are codes for particular words into a comma-separated list of the longer format:
codes = "DBC" # for example
mappingdict = {'A':'Alpha', 'B':'Bravo', 'C':'Charlie', 'D':'Delta', 'E':'Echo'}
print ",".join(map(mappingdict.get, codes))
Will print "Delta,Bravo,Charlie".
How easy is that!
