cities['_find'] = find_city
city_found = cities['_find'](cities, state)
这是上一节用到的代码，需要注意的是：一个函数也可以作为一个变量。def find_city这句创建了一个可以在任何地方都能使用的变量。在上边的代码中，我们首先把函数find_city放到叫做cities的字典中，并将其标记为'_find'。其实就和把州和市关联起来的代码是一样的，只是这段代码放了一个函数名称。
cities = {'CA':'San Francisco','MI':'Detroit','FL':'Jacksonvile'}
cities['NY'] = 'New York'
cities['OR'] = 'Portland'
def find_city(themap, state):
if state in themap:
#print themap #themap 应该就是 cities 中的一个位置
return themap[state]
else:
return "Not found."
cities['_find'] = find_city
while True:
print "State? (ENTER TO QUIT)",
state = raw_input("> ")
if not state: break #在运行过程中实现的功能是按"Enter"退出
city_found = cities['_find'](cities, state)
print city_found
这是上一节的代码，关键部分的代码可以分解为：
-
Python看到city_found= 于是知道了需要创建一个变量。 - 然后它读到
cities，然后知道了它是一个字典 - 然后看到了
['_find']，于是Python就从索引找到了字典cities中对应的位置，并且获取了该位置的内容。 -
['_find']这个位置的内容是我们的函数find_city，所以Python就知道了这里表示一个函数，于是当它碰到(就开始了函数调用。 -
cities, state这两个参数将被传递到函数find_city中，然后这个函数就被运行了。 -
find_city接着从cities中寻找states，并且返回它找到的内容，如果什么都没找到，就返回一个信息说它什么都没找到。 -
Pythonfind_city接受返回的信息，最后将该信息赋值给一开始的city_found这个变量。
书中的原话很令我震惊和期待：
数十年的编程下来，我在读代码的过程中已经用不到上面的三种方法了。我只要瞟一眼就能知道它的意思。甚至给我一整页的代码，我也可以一眼瞄出里边的
bug和错误。这样的技能是花了超乎常人的时间和精力才锻炼得来的。在磨练的过程中，我学会了下面三种读代码的方法，它们是用户几乎所有的编程语言：
- 从前向后。
- 后向前。
- 逆时针方向。
下次碰到难懂的语句时，你可以试试这三种方法。

这段代码对于现在我来说真的是巨大工程，不过还好，输入以后还能运行。不过我把这个代码简化了一下，整个框架就出来了，读起来的时候方便一些。
from sys import exit
from random import randint

quips = ["You died. You kinda suck at this.",

这样读起来就没那么乱了。
这节还学到一点是“文档字符串”式的注解。举例代码：
def printMax(x, y):
'''打印两个数中的最大值。 两个值必须是整数。'''
x = int(x) # 如果可能，转换为整数
y = int(y)
if x > y:
print(x, 'MAX')
else:
print(y, 'MAX')
printMax(3, 5)
print(printMax.__doc__)
运行结果：
(5, 'MAX')
打印两个数中的最大值。
两个值必须是整数。这个在某些脚本中还是挺有用的，所以我专门记录了一下。
这一节还涉及到一个从没有听过的名词，有限状态机。状态存储关于过去的信息，就是说：它反映从系统开始到现在时刻的输入变化。转移指示状态变更，并且用必须满足来确使转移发生的条件来描述它。动作是在给定时刻要进行的活动的描述。有多种类型的动作：
进入动作（entry action）：在进入状态时进行
退出动作：在退出状态时进行
输入动作：依赖于当前状态和输入条件进行
转移动作：在进行特定转移时进行
今天先看这么多吧，首先得把这节代码看懂再说吧。
