Re: [Tutor] What does "TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable" mean?

One of your variables (e.g. unchanged_count, higher_count, lower_count, secs) is an integer and your method expects a sequence (iterable) value. Examples of iterable values: 1. str 2. unicode 3. list 4. tuple 5. xrange and range On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 7:42 AM, Richard D. Moores

Forget what I said. Tim's right. Return an iterable from within your method not an integer. On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 7:52 AM, Tim Golden wrote: > On 21/10/2010 13:42, Richard D. Moores wrote: > >> Traceback (most recent call last): >> File "c:\P26Working\test_urllib2_21a.py", line 148, in >>

"Richard D. Moores" wrote return ("%%.%sf" % n) % floatt which works fine, but a question remains: n is an integer. Why the 's' in '%sf'? Its arbitrary. You could use %d just as easily. %s will put the numner into the string, so will %d. %d is probably a bit more picky about what it in
