Get an array out of a dict

[Ragnar]

Hello,

I am trying to extract some data from a dict.

I am using the following code

def get_set_from_UNV_file (filePath,setNo,setName,timeTable,volumeVelocityTable):
	
	UNVfile=pyuff.UFF(filePath)
	UNVdata=UNVfile.read_sets(setNo)
	
	
	print (UNVdata['id1'])
	print("type: ",type(UNVdata['id1']))
	setName=UNVdata['id1']
	
	
	print (UNVdata['x'])
	print ("type: ",type(UNVdata['x']))
	timeTable = UNVdata['x']
	
	
	print (UNVdata['data'])
	print ("type: ",type(UNVdata['data']))
	volumeVelocityTable=UNVdata['data']
	


if __name__ == "__main__":
	fPath="C:\\Users\\ofa\\Desktop\\test\\Sample_UFF58_ascii.uff"
	
	valuesX=[]
	valuesY=[]
	name="tuto"
	print (get_set_from_UNV_file(fPath,0,name,valuesX,valuesY))
	print ("fPath: ",fPath)
	print ("name: ",name)
	print ("valuesX: ",valuesX)
	print ("valuesY: ",valuesY)

The output is

Output:

None
fPath:  C:\Users\ofa\Desktop\test\Sample_UFF58_ascii.uff
name:  tuto
valuesX:  []
valuesY:  []

I know I should use nd arrays but I couldn't do it, how can I know the size before?
and how can I make a copy of the arrays from the dict.
Something else I don't understand is why the str name is not modified.

Thank you.
