does anyone know how to basically link a key to another key in a dictionary?

rn my code basically ask for a server and ip and puts in a list

[mortal linden]

same serrver name and ip and you want that in a dict?

[autumn stump]

and im trying to make another function that basically connects one server to another with a ping

[autumn stump]

wdym

[mortal linden]

rtr_dict = {servername}: {ip}}

or add both at once with a , after the first dict.. your familiar with dicts?

[autumn stump]

yeah i think so

what are you trying to ask me?

[mortal linden]

so you connect to one rtr and just call the 2nds ip..rtr/server.. whateva

[autumn stump]

yeah i want to basically connect the ips in both directions to each other so server1 to server 2 and 2 to 1

but im wondering how i should get to that point

this matters because for my other functions i need to be able to do this

this part should be easy once i can figure out the dictonary design

[mortal linden]

2 python scripts running on 2 diffetent servers.. you should just assign the ips in the dict and use the name from the dict to access the other.. I think your over complicating it unless your trying to do this dynamically

typically you would do host:ip in the dict.. if you have a dict fullnof hosts, and the starting point is yoir issue then you just need to get the hostname or ip of the server it starts on to be able to exclude it from selecting the same again

[autumn stump]

by assign the ips in the dict, do you mean like making a list or dict within a value?

also we nee to be able to do this during the traceroute

[mortal linden]

servers = {
    "Server1": "192.168.1.10",
    "Server2": "192.168.1.11",
    "Server3": "192.168.1.12",
    "Server4": "192.168.1.13",
    "Server5": "192.168.1.14"
}
for server, ip in servers.items():
    #do your traceroute

[autumn stump]

i cant use builtins so i dont think items can be used

[mortal linden]

then make it a list of ips.. this is sounding like homework now.. dunno if i have the time tonight to explain each step you need to do... but where you at and whats next

[autumn stump]

it fine then ill try to find another way to do it.

[mortal linden]

if you need both name and ip.. list of tuples
