In the following code fragment:
def func_5_2(datei, num):
import linecache
i = 0
number = num + 1
l = []
while True:
l[i] = linecache.getline(datei, number)
if (l[i] == ''):
break
Is it possible to fix the problem I get on this line?
list[i] = linecache.getline(datei, number)
Here's the error I get:
File "/home/user/gosection.py", line 27, in func_5_2
list[i] = linecache.getline(datei, number)
TypeError: 'type' object does not support item assignment
Thanks for your help!
You get this exception because the object list
is never defined. Initialize list
before using it.
For example like this:
list = []
Your code is trying to assign an item to the builtin sequence type list.
It is not a good practice to name variables like existing types...
Give the variable another name like lines
:
>>> lines = []
>>> type(lines)
<class 'list'>
