[Tutor] help with augumented assignment y += 1

[Norman Khine]

Hi,
Appologies, there was a typo, in that the first line is:

['1'] ['a1', 'a2', 'a2', 'a2'] [1, 1, 2, 4]

The way the first line relates to the survey is such that, it looks at
the response.xml file and returns what the individual user has
submitted.

So that:

['1'] ['a1', 'a2', 'a2', 'a2'] [1, 1, 2, 4]

['1'] - is the username
['a1', 'a2', 'a2', 'a2'] - is the question code
[1, 1, 2, 4] - is the key value that the user has submited

Whereas the second output, simply returns a list containing a
dictionaries with the actual question properties.

To narrow the my question to specifics, I suppose I would need to make
a dictionary such as:

{options: {'count': count}}

and then relate it back to the survey.xml file so that I can get the 'labels'

        ret = {}
        for option in options:
             if not ret.has_key(option):
                 ret[option] = {'count': 1}
             else:
                 ret[option]['count'] += 1
        return ret

This I think will return a count of all tha answered questions, but
how to generate the options dictionary and relate this to the
survey.xml file to get the related labels?

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Norman
