Hi

I am also not using any Open SSL package.

I   get the SSL package error ,not sure why.

Give us the _whole_ error message, even the parts that look like they don't
make any sense.  For one thing, the traceback tells us exactly which line
of code triggered the exception - and which file that line of code came
from.  From your description, it sounds like the error is being thrown by
the requests module, but we can't tell.


Also, before your "import requests" line, include these:

import sys
print(sys.version)

After the  "import requests" line, include this:

print(requests.__version__)

[Tutor] Counting Items on a List associated w/ Index #

2018-08-03 Thread Rafael Knuth
Hi there,

I wrote a function which is supposed to count the number of items on
each index #.
For starters, here's a list I created to test the function:

properties = ["mansion, modern, swimming_pool" , "mansion, historic,
air_conditioning", "penthouse, modern, whirlpool"]

# index 0 = property type
# index 1 = style
# index 2 = feature

Here's the function:

def feature_counter(input_lst, index, input_str):
num_elt = 0
output_lst = []
for row in input_lst:
split_row = row.split(",")
output_lst.append(split_row)
for each in output_lst:
if each[index] == input_str:
num_elt = num_elt + 1
return num_elt

This function returns the correct result when checking index 0:

print(feature_counter(properties, 0, "mansion"))
>>> 2

Weirdly, it returns the wrong result when checking index 1:

print(feature_counter(properties, 1, "modern"))
>>> 0

and index 2:

print(feature_counter(properties, 2, "swimming_pool"))
>>> 0

Can anyone advise what's wrong with my function?

Thanks,

Rafael

Storing multiple fields in a single string is nearly always
the wrong thing to do. It would be much easier to work with
tuples of three strings. Always try to make your data look
as much like what you are trying to model as possible.

However...

By splitting on the comma you leave the prefix
space in place for the 2nd and 3rd items.
You need to strip() that off before using it.

> output_lst.append(split_row)

T^his is exactly the pattern that matches a list
comprehension so you could write all of the above as:

def feature_counter(input_lst, index, input_str):
num_elt = 0
output_lst = [row.split(',').strip() for row in input_lst]


And you wouldn't need to do it at all if you stored
the base data as tuples of strings...

 0

That's because of the leading spaces.
