Makepacketdict

brain-dead import. While it should work as-is for testing, the parsing requires you eleiminate all extraneous spaces in the white space in "message_template.msg" before the "{" and replace it with tabs

<python>

import re

def makepacketdict():

   dict = {}
   for line in open("message_template.msg", ).xreadlines():
       results = re.match("^\t([^\t{}]+.+)",line)
       if results:
           aline = results.group(1)
           aline = aline.split()
           if aline[1] == "Fixed": 
               dict[(aline[1],aline[2])] = (aline[0],aline[3], aline[4])
               
               #print (aline[1],aline[2]) 
               #print (aline[1],"0x"+aline[2]), dict[(aline[1],"0x"+aline[2])] 
               #dict[(aline[1],int("0x"+aline[2][8:],16))] = (aline[0],aline[3], aline[4])
           else:
               dict[(aline[1],int(aline[2]))] = (aline[0],aline[3], aline[4])
   return dict
