    copied!<p>I am an extremely novice learner, I am taking a Python class to learn. This question has nothing to do with the class, just with a project I am working on as I am going through the class (I am working on a simple game, using concepts that I learn in class to update, expand, and clean up my code.)</p> <p>I am learning about Tuples, Lists, and Dictionaries at this time, and thought that simple tuples would clear up a lot of IF statements and streamline the code. However, I cannot get it to work exactly how I would like it to work.</p> <p>Basically I have a set of tuples for all of my classes (Note, these are training classifications, and not Python classes). They have different numbers in them, and then I have a tuple with a list of the names of all of the classes. At some point in the code, I ask for user input to determine a character's class. I would like to be able to use that input so I can extract (Is the correct term splice?) values from the tuple, say I want to add whatever value is in the third position of the tuple to another value. Right now I cannot get the user input associate with the tuple of the same name. Is there a way to do this?</p> <hr> <pre><code># Class list Apprentice = (6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) Warrior = (12, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0) Paladin = (14, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1) Barbarian = (12, 6, 0, 3, -1, -1, -1) Blademaster = (10, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0) Assassin = (8, 0, 8, -2, 0, 0, 0) Rogue = (8, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0) Monk = (10, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, -4) Bard = (8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4) Mage = (6, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0) Priest = (6, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 1) Wizard = (4, -2, -2, -2, 6, 8, 0) Scholar = (6, -1, -1, 0, 4, 4, 0) Necromancer = (6, 0, 0, 0, 6, 6, -5) classList = ('Apprentice', 'Warrior', 'Priest', 'Mage', 'Wizard', 'Rogue', 'Bard', 'Paladin', 'Scholar', 'Necromancer', 'Barbarian', 'Blademaster', 'Assassin', 'Monk') </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>validClass = False while validClass == False: charClass = raw_input('What type of training have you had (Class)? ') if charClass in classList: print '' validClass = True else: print 'That is not a valid class.' </code></pre>
