It is not supposed to be a hard problem, but I've worked on it for almost a day!
I want to create a query which has to be in this format: 'lat':'###','long':'###' where ###s represent latitude and longitude.
I am using the following code to generate the queries:
coordinateslist=[]
for i in range(len(lat)):
coordinateslist.append("'lat':'{}','long':'-{}'".format(lat[i],lon[i]))
coordinateslist
However the result would be some thing similar to this which has "" at the beginning and end of it: "'lat':'40.66','long':'-73.93'"
Ridiculously enough it's impossible to remove the " with either .replace or .strip! and wrapping the terms around repr doesn't solve the issue.
Do you know how I can get rid of those double quotation marks?
P.S. I know that when I print the command the "will not be shown but when i use each element of the array in my query, a " will appear at the end of the query which stops it from working.
directly writing the line like this:
query_params = {'lat':'43.57','long':'-116.56'}
works perfectly fine.
but using either of the codes below will lead to an error.
aa=print(coordinateslist[0])
bb=coordinateslist[0]
query_params = {aa}
query_params = {bb}
query_params = aa
query_params = bb
Try using a dictionary instead, if you don't want to see the " from string representation:
coordinateslist.append({
"lat": lat[i],
"long": "-{}".format(lon[i])
})
