Hi I am trying to get a piece of code to work based on an exercise in a book. Any help appreciated. Can someone please explain what is going on here.
I am trying to read from a text file a list of cards with the following format and sort firstly by suit and then by rank h 1 d 2 c 5 s 9 h2 d3 etc... I get the following error; Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:/###UNI###/ITC106/ass2/cardread.py", line 25, in <module> t.append( t[0] + 400 ) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'append' def read_cards(filename): cards = [] for card in open(filename, 'r'): cards.append(card.strip()) return cards # read the deck of cards from a file filename = 'cards.txt' cards = read_cards(filename) for t in read_cards(filename): if t[1] == 'h': t.append( t[0] + 100 ) elif t[1] == 'd': t.append( t[0] + 200 ) elif t[1] == 'c': t.append( t[0] + 300 ) else: t.append( t[0] + 400 ) print read_cards(filename) Regards J -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
