What did you expect to happen here? alist[1][2] is the same as (alist[1])[2]; in other words, it is the third item in the second item in alist. The second item (alist[1]) is the integer 3 which is not subscriptable; if you try 3[2] at the interactive prompt you will get the same error. If you are trying to get the elements of bList out of aList you should try alist[2][0], alist[2][1] etc. Kent > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<pyshell#40>", line 1, in <module> > print aList [1] [2] > TypeError: 'int' object is unsubscriptable > >>> print aList [0] [1] > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<pyshell#41>", line 1, in <module> > print aList [0] [1] > TypeError: 'int' object is unsubscriptable > >>> > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
