I am trying to create a dictionary of lists as I read a file. I envision it looking like: {key: [float_type],[string_type]}
For the first item in the list I am trying to add the value to the existing value where the key matches but I am getting the following error: Resetting execution engine Running C:\Users\cs062x\Desktop\python\projects\PanHandle\PanHandle\PanHandle.py The Python REPL process has exited Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\cs062x\Desktop\python\projects\PanHandle\PanHandle\PanHandle.py", line 22, in <module> d[IMEI] += Elapsed_Mins TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable Here is the code. My question is how can I keep it list type and just sumup the first element in the list as I read it? d = defaultdict(list) for fname in os.listdir('.'): with open (fname) as csvfile: spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='|') next(spamreader) for row in spamreader: if row[8]: device = row[36] Elapsed_Mins = float(row[7]) IMEI = row[8].replace("'", "") d[IMEI] += Elapsed_Mins ## this is where the error occurs.
