TypeError: string indices must be integers

[hendern]

Hi!

I have a piece of code that works fine:

result_ack = client.service.AcknowledgeResults([{'_value_1': 'OK', 'PassageID': id}])

But when I add the hard coded value to a variable and then try to pass it to:

variable = "[{'_value_1': 'OK', 'PassageID': " + id + " }]" result_ack = client.service.AcknowledgeResults(variable)

I receive "TypeError: string indices must be integers"

Any help much appreciated:-)

BR,
Henrik

In the first line you are constructing a dict (with values) inside a list.

In the second line you are constructing a string with brackets that looks like the first (but is still just a string).

If you want to hold it as a temporary object, it would be similar to below. Just take the stuff inside the parenthesis and assign to a variable.

variable = [{'_value_1': 'OK', 'PassageID': id }] result_ack = client.service.AcknowledgeResults(variable)

Can you explain more why you think that creating a string is useful for you. Also, it looks like you're using a variable named id. That will shadow the existing function id(). Using a different name would be recommended.

>>> id(3) 4479778544 >>> id = "myid" >>> id(3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Thanks, bowlofred, for pointing me in the right direction! And micseydel for fixing my post:-)

I changed the variable to list and appended the dict element(s):

variable = [] variable.append({'_value_1': 'OK', 'PassageID': PassageID }) result_ack = client.service.AcknowledgeResults(variable)

Then it worked as intended.

I do not use "id" as variable name, just made the code a bit to anonymous;-)

Thanks again,
Henrik
