I'm trying to build a table from user input to export via Cheetah to fill a template to use as a report. I'm having trouble separating each iteration of the loop "for j in range(1, numErrors):" and put table row tags at the beginning and end of each concatenation.
table = ""
cells = ""
row = ""
numMeas = int(raw_input("Enter total number of measurements: "))
numMeas = numMeas + 1 #number of measurements compensated for iteration behavior
for i in range(1, numMeas):
typeMeas = raw_input("Enter type of measurement "+str(i)+": ")
numErrors = int(raw_input("Enter number of error sources: "))
numErrors = numErrors + 1
for j in range(1, numErrors): #builds dataSet from number of errors
inputData = []
inputData.append(typeMeas)
description = raw_input("Enter source of uncertainty "+str(j)+": ")
inputData.append(description)
estUncert = raw_input("Enter estimated uncertainty "+str(j)+": ")
estUncert = float(estUncert)
inputData.append(str(estUncert))
for i in inputData:
cell = "<td>"+str(i)+"</td>"
cells += cell
table = "<tr>"+cells+"</tr>"+"\n"
print table
Current output:
<tr><td>mass</td><td>scale</td><td>1.0</td><td>mass</td><td>human</td><td>2.0</td> <td>temp</td><td>room</td><td>3.0</td><td>temp</td><td>therm</td><td>4.0</td></tr>
Desired output:
<tr><td>mass</td><td>scale</td><td>1.0</td></tr>
<tr><td>mass</td><td>human</td><td>2.0</td></tr>
<tr><td>temp</td><td>room</td><td>3.0</td></tr>
<tr><td>temp</td><td>therm</td><td>4.0</td></tr>
