Accessing items in nested tuples

[alex]

Hello everybody
I am able to access the data in a tuple via a for loop (see example
below).


#!/usr/bin/env python

class Test():
def Data(self):
return ("aa", "bb", "cc", "dd", "ee", "ff", "gg", "hh")
# return (("aa", ("bb", "cc", "dd")), ("ee", ("ff", "gg",
"hh")), ("ii", ("jj", "kk", "ll")))

def Process(self):
for eachData in self.Data():
print "Printing %s" % eachData


def main():
print "Start processing data"
prtData=Test()
prtData.Process()
print "Stop processing data"


if __name__ == '__main__':
main()


However I do not find out how to access data items in a nested tuple
of
the type (("aa", ("bb", "cc", "dd")), ("ee", ("ff", "gg", "hh")),...).
In fact I am trying to refactor a simple GUI basing on an example
in "wxPython In Action", "Listing 5.5 A refactored example" where the
menues
are described in the way


def menuData(self):
return (("&File",
("&Open", "Open in status bar", self.OnOpen),
("&Quit", "Quit", self.OnCloseWindow)),
("&Edit",
("&Copy", "Copy", self.OnCopy),
("C&ut", "Cut", self.OnCut),
...)))

etc...


But I can not get the example running and I can't reprogram the
example to get it running for my case.

In IDLE I can print the individual tuples but not the items within.

IDLE 1.2.1

data=(("aa", ("bb", "cc", "dd")), ("ee", ("ff", "gg", "hh")), ("ii", ("jj", "kk", "ll")))
print data[0] ('aa', ('bb', 'cc', 'dd'))
print data[1] ('ee', ('ff', 'gg', 'hh'))
etc...

I would like to be able to access the dataitem "aa" or "bb", "cc",
"dd" individualy.
For sure I am most probably missing something which is evident, maybe
can anybody help?
Thanks Alex

You're sooooo close:

>>> print data[0][0] 'aa'
>>> print data[1][0]

'ee'

print i[0],

print data[0][0] aa

Thank you very much, this will get me further.
I can not recall having seen this in my books...
I am still getting my grips with Python and OOP.
