i finished couple of minutes ago , works fine have feeling not way doing though, isn't it? i'm curious on opinions out there. said if works, it's ok, don't think can in case. think? thanks...

you'd better first read file dictionary:

abbrevs = {} open('abbreviations.txt') f:     line in f:         short, long = line.rstrip().split(',', 1)         abbrevs[short] = long

you can find abbreviation simple lookup in dictionary:

v_word = str(raw_input('abbreviation ? ')) if v_word not in abbrevs:     print "don't know means." else:     print "{} means {}".format(v_word, abbrevs[v_word])
