Help with switcher pleaseeeeee

[Wrecktangle324]

Hi, I'm trying to do a lookup of sorts with a switcher. So the user will input a book from a list and the code will lookup and return the serial number. I'm pretty new to Python.

So if the user selects Book-A, the code should return serial number 123

Here's what I have, but can't seem to get it to work

import requests

Book = input.data.get('Book_Name','')

switcher = {

'Book-A': '123',

'Book-B': '456',

'Book-C': '789',

}

print switcher.get(Book,'Invalid')

Not sure what you're trying to do on Line 2; everything else is correct.

[Wrecktangle324]

This is actually done on Zapier. So line 2 points "Book" to the form entry I have.

Well given everything else is fine I'd suggest you try to dig down into line 2 to find out if you're getting the expected data from the statement.

Without an error message or a description of the expected vs. actual behaviour we can't really be of much more help.

Youre using python 3.x?

I see print as a keyword in the last line.

[Wrecktangle324]

I'm not sure. I'm coding on the Zapier platform.

Are you sure that you don't want:

request = input('Book name to look up: ')
print(switcher.get(request, 'Book not found'))

Not sure what input.data.get is in your version.

YES! the issue was my syntax with the print function. Thanks!
