Newbie question to show nested namedtuple list

[mpd]

On further reflection, you probably just want the QuarterSales field of the Sales namedtuple to be a list of QuarterlySales objects:

QuarterlySales = collections.namedtuple('QuarterlySales', ['ID', 'QuarterNo', 'QuarterSales'])
Sales = collections.namedtuple('Sales', ['ID', 'QuarterSales', 'TotalSales'])

sales1 = Sales(1, [QuarterlySales (1, 1, 100), QuarterlySales (2, 2, 200), ...], 350)

If you want to go the dict route...


A dictionary (dict) is a data structure that enables you to map keys to values. So in your case, I would do something like the following.
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datas...ctionaries

Sales = namedtuple(...)
QuarterlySales = namedtuple(...)  

sales = {}  # sales is an empty dict.  The dict will map salesperson ids to lists of sales
sales[1] = [ QuarterlySales(...), QuarterlySales(...), ...]  # so sales person with ID 1 gets these QuarterlySales tuples...
sales[2] = [ ... ]

#  So now when you figure out which sales person has the highest total, you can just do something like this:
best_salesperson = # however you figure that out
quarterlies = sales[best_salesperson.ID]  # quarterlies is a list of QuarterlySales 

This is all sketchy sample/pseudo-code to get you started.
