Can't sort out syntax structure for choices for ask

[JustinDupree]

Python library defines ask like this:

action = 'ask' options_array = ['attempts', 'bargein', 'choices', 'minConfidence', 'name', 'recognizer', 'required', 'say', 'timeout', 'voice', 'allowSignals']

def __init__(self, choices, **options):
    self._dict = {}
    if (isinstance(choices, basestring)):
        self._dict['choices'] = Choices(choices).json
    else:
        self._dict['choices'] = choices['choices']
    for opt in self.options_array:
        if opt in options:
            if ((opt == 'say') and (isinstance(options['say'], basestring))):
                self._dict['say'] = Say(options['say']).json
            else:
                self._dict[opt] = options[opt]

I can't figure out the syntax to structure "choices"

t.ask(choices = {"value":"[4-5 DIGITS]", "mode":"dtmf", "terminator":"#"}, timeout=15, name="digit", say = "What's your four or five digit pin? Press pound when finished.")

it gives me this exception:

This is closed, but I still don't know the answer?

Hi Justin,

I made some changes to tropo.py to address this issue, and provided a sample at https://github.com/tropo/tropo-webapi-python/blob/master/samples/gh-21.choices.py .

Sorry you didn't see it. Please let me know if you have questions.

Confirmed this works as expected, all good now.
