[solved] Variable number of dictionnaries as argument in def()

[paul18fr]

Again, avoid doing this because that code is more difficult to read and harder to maintain. If you have a load of things that you need to use, then put those things in a collection as buran shows.

For sure your experiences and feedbacks are much greater than mine, so I'm seriously listening to your advices and warnings .

I’m using dictionaries to record and store data where dictionaries are physical quantities and Keys are components for example; values are generally updated during the recording process; as you can imagine, their names, numbers, sizes and so on vary for each study.

I used locals(), globals(), exec() so far, but as you mentioned it should be avoided, and I’m working on a (good) way to remove them: even if I’m trying to well document my codes, maintainability is ones of the weakness.

In addition, I’m working in huge amount of data (the latest file I worked on as about 1 billion lines), it’s necessary to remain “fast” and so I want to read it only ounce (currently it takes few minutes for reading and storing) .. but I'm not perfect
