Hey Buddy Pals, I receive the following output from a sqlite db
(u'graph1', u'Line', u'222', u'BLUE', u'1,2,3,4', u'True', u'0,5,0,10') Which is a tuple of unicode strings. From this I need to place portions of the tuple into other fields, but not as unicode strings, but literals no ''. For example if I have the following line: self.lines = self.newplot.plot([1,2,3,4]) And I use the following to replace [1,2,3,4] with self.plot from line 13 in belows iteration: self.orderbygname = self.cur.execute('''select * from %s order by graphname''' % ('graphs')) self.orderlist = [] for name in self.orderbygname: self.orderlist.append(name) self.fig = Figure() for line in self.orderlist: print line #print line[0],' and ', line[1] self.graphname = line[0] self.graphtype = line[1] self.position = line[2] self.bgcolor = line[3] self.plot = line[4] self.grid = line[5] self.x_y_axis_range = line[6] I get the error: ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 1,2,3,4 So my question is, how do I convert the unicode '' to a plain nonstring insert?
