[Baypiggies] csv module question

[Glen Jarvis]

Vikram,

   Do I understand the question? You have a particular dictionary, as such:

>>> x={'Protein Name': 'PE2R2_HUMAN', 'gi Number': '38258920', 'etc':
'blah'}

And, you want to get the field names for printing in the header.

Is something like this helpful:

>>> print x.keys()
['etc', 'gi Number', 'Protein Name']

(Notice that the order of these keys are not going to always be the same
each time):

writer.writerow(x.keys())

If this isn't helpful, can you make a little snippet of code so that we can
use that to define the problem.

Cheers,


Glen
