Yuck, unneeded brackets disease.
gooddata.append({singleday[2], singleday[3], singleday[4], singleday[5]})
That looks like a set to me.
# Perform analysis minsofar = 120 maxsofar = -100 numgooddates = 1 sumofmin = 0 sumofmax = 0 # so singleday in datalist is a list while singleday in gooddata is a set?????????
Seems like it.
for singleday in gooddata: sumofmin += singleday[1] sumofmax += singleday[2] if singleday[1] < minsofar: minsofar = singleday[1] if singleday[2] > maxsofar: maxsofar = singleday[2] Could this be a bug in my Pycharm 3 compiler I have had mixed experiences running the code.
I very much doubt that.
An insertion of a space after for singleday in gooddata: line 54 caused the program to run as desired, once, since other runs cause the error
Really, I don't see how?
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Dad/PycharmProjects/TopDownDesign/WeatherDataSpecialDay.py", line 56, in <module> sumofmin += singleday[1] TypeError: 'set' object does not support indexing persist. I will attach the code and test file. Please allow me to thank you in advance for answering this query. I am new with Python and would appreciate any advice.
Put print calls into the code that you don't show above. This should show what gets written to the datalist and it's type, ditto for the gooddata list. I think you'll find that the code "works" when an invalid day and month gets input, yet produces the traceback when a valid day and month is input.
