Issue with Dictionaries

[dswan1]

Hey All, For my assignment I have to read a csv file of stock information (without using outside modules) into a dictionary and then set up a program that allows the user to input a ticker symbol and output the market cap. My problem is that my code below generates a dictionary for each individual stock bc they were originally listed on different rows. Any help?



f_in_CRSP = open('/Users/Dino/PycharmProjects/Homework2/CRSP_StockFile_201612.csv')
header = next(f_in_CRSP)
for line in f_in_CRSP:
parts = line.strip('\n').split(',')
tkr = parts[4]
prc = parts[7]
if prc != "":
prc = abs(float(parts[7]))
else:
prc = 0
shrout = parts[8]
if shrout == "":
shrout = 0
else:
shrout = abs(float(parts[8]))
marketcap = (prc * shrout * 1000)
key = tkr
value = marketcap
my_dict = {key: value}
print(my_dict)

You need to repost your code so we can see the indentation. See the BBCode link in my signature below for instructions. Also, please give us a few (like five) lines of the csv file you are supposed to be reading in.
