[Zope-dev] Trouble populating a dictionary of dictionaries

[Anton Hughes]

Hmmm..... I posted code on the end of that message. I don't know what
happened to it. Anyway, I'll post the code here:

#parameters: booking_date
# Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response objects.
from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote
request = container.REQUEST
RESPONSE =  request.RESPONSE

bookings = {}   # declare the bookings dictionary
resource_hash = {} #declare the resource dictionary

#populate bookings dictionary with timeslot keys
for row in context.resources():
      resource = row['name']
      resource_hash[resource] = ''

#populate bookings dictionary with timeslot keys
for row in context.timeslots():
      slot = row['slot_name']
      bookings[slot] = resource_hash

#fill the bookings dictionary of arrays with actual bookings
for row in context.getBookings(on_date=booking_date):
     slot = row['timeslot']
     resource = row['resource'] - 1
     person = ['person']
     bookings[slot][resource] = person

return bookings

Error:
