[Tutor] Having trouble with " table % listTable.values() " line

[Mihai Iacob]

Hello,

This is my first post so if i make any kind of
mistakes take it easy on me :).

I don't know how to explain clearly what is the
problem but i'll try.
table = """
%s |%s |%s 
-----------
%s |%s |%s 
-----------
%s |%s |%s 
"""

listTable is a dictionary.

listTable = {0 :'X', 1 :' ' , 2 :' ', 3 :'O', 4 :' ',
5 :' ', 6 :'O', 7 :' ', 8 :'X',}

I am trying to take the values from the dictionary
listTable.values() and print them in the table.

The problem is that listTable.values() returns a list 
   " ['X', ' ', ' ', 'O', ' ', ' ', 'O', ' ', 'X']  "
and python won't assign the values of the dictionary
in the table. " table %  listTable.values() "

This error message appears:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#81>", line 1, in <module>
    table % listTable.values()
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string


So instead of the list  " ['X', ' ', ' ', 'O', ' ', '
', 'O', ' ', 'X'] " which won't let me assign strings
in the table, i want to get ('X', ' ', ' ', 'O', ' ',
' ', 'O', ' ', 'X') from listTable.values() 

I know i can make it work using:
table % (listTable[0],listTable[1],
listTable[2],listTable[3],listTable[4],
listTable[5],listTable[6],listTable[7],listTable[8])

but it's kinda long.


If somebody can tell me how to convert the []list into
() i'll make him a little shrine and worship him for 5
seconds :P

I'm trying to make a OXO game, so don't give me any
hints even if you spot mistakes (i hope i can make it
alone)
