Dictionary Help
Hi
I am trying to write a set of pretty printers for the Qt framework
My python script declares a dictionary as

Code:
def build_dictionary ():
    pretty_printers_dict[re.compile('^QDate*$')] = lambda val: QDatePrinter(val,"true")

pretty_printers_dict = {}

build_dictionary ()


Then I have a search routine that should find the string QDate*
in this extract typename is set to "QDate*"

Code:
    for function in pretty_printers_dict:
        if function.search (typename):
            return pretty_printers_dict[function] (val)


But no match is found

Could someone please help me and explain why this is?

Thanks

The regex “^QDate*$” doesn’t match the string “QDate*” but it does match “QDate”, “QDatee”, “QDateeeeeee” and so on.

You probably meant either “^QDate.*$” (strings starting QDate) or “^QDate\*$” (exactly the string “QDate*”).
