TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable (from pause function)

Question

This is what I believe is the relevant part of my code:

def choose_From_Inventory(itemType):

    global inventory
    string=""
    """sets up how people choose items from inventory"""
    for i in range(len(inventory)):
        if inventory[i][0]==itemType:
            string=string+"["+str(i)+"]: "+inventory[i][4]+"\n"
    return string

This returns the error on the if statement.

This happens whenever I call this function:

def pauseScreen():

    global hp, inventory, level, location, sq1, sq2, sq3, sq4
    """prints the pause screen, lets them see hp, inventory, and location"""
    print("\t\t HP:\n\t\t",hp,"\n\t\tInventory:\n"+str(choose_From_Inventory(0))+"\n"+str(choose_From_Inventory(1))+"\n"+str(choose_From_Inventory(2))+"\n"+str(choose_From_Inventory(3))+"\n\t\tLevel (Location):\n\t\t",level,location)
    returnCode=input("Press enter to return or type in quit to quit\n")
    if returnCode.lower()=='quit':
        quit=input("Are you sure?\n")
        if quit.lower()=='yes':
            sys.exit()
        else:
            pauseScreen()
    else:
        levelCheck()

This doesn't happen every time, but I haven't been able to figure out why it doesn't work. I've tried several other ways to format the if statement, but I was hoping someone would be able to help me here.

Also, I did check several other questions with similar titles, such as this one (TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable) and this one (TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable in equation) They didn't help me find a solution.

Thanks!

Alright...I was working with a friend, and he found the error. It was in how I was adding an item to the inventory.

Thanks to those who read this, and especially those who tried to find the error.
