Matching characters in dictionaries

Vote count:

I am new to python and I need help in solving this error. I have two dictionaries that look something like this:

OtherSeqDict

{'Protein1':'AGCGGGTTTTTACCCCCCGTTTTGGGACCCCCACTGCGTC', 'Protein2':'AGCGGGTTTTACCC---GGTTTTGGACCCCCACTGCGTC', 'Protein3':'AGCGGGTTTTTACCCCCCGTGTTGGGACCCCCACTGCGTC'}

MouseSeqDict

{'Protein4':'AGCGGCTTTTTACCCCCCGTGTTGGGACCGCCACTGCGTC'}

I am trying to print (i) matching characters in the values of Protein 4 to characters in the values of Protein1, Protein2 and Protein 3 and (ii) mismatched characters in Protein 4 to those of Protein1, Protein2 and Protein3 and the position of these mismatched characters in Protein4.

I am currently on my first question and edited the script that I found online but I received error while running it

The error is shown below

p = _cache.get(cachekey) TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

This is my script:

otherseq=OtherSeqDict.values()

mouseseq=MouseSeqDict.values()

for match in re.finditer(mouseseq,otherseq):

    start=match.start()

    end=match.end()

    print 'Found "%s" at %d:%d' %(text[start:end],start,end)

Can anyone show me how to do this (i) and (ii)?

Thanks!!
