Python keeps throwing a "TypeError" error for a list, and I do not understand why

So, I'm kind of new to Python, and I'm trying to make a small command line menu system with lists, using the following code:

menu = ["item1", "item2", "item3", "item4"]

i = 0

for item in menu2:
    print(str(i) + str(menu[item]))
    i = i + 1

But whenever I run that code, I'm thrown the following error:

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how to fix it? I've tried most anything I can think of.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • remove str also not needed menu. print statement should be like below.

    print(i + item)
