I want to remove 362968 from below list-
list=[362976,362974,362971,362968,362969]
code-
list.remove(362968) I am getting error: 'str' object has no attribute 'remove'
Actual code -
def matchmaker(): exportersfree = exporters[:] engaged = {} exprefers2 = copy.deepcopy(exprefers) imprefers2 = copy.deepcopy(imprefers) while exportersfree: exporter = exportersfree.pop(0) exporterslist = exprefers2[exporter] importer = exporterslist.pop(0) match = engaged.get(importer) if not match: # impo's free engaged[importer] = exporter #both parties are added to the engaged list importerslist = imprefers2[importer] for z in range (importerslist.index(exporter)-1): importerslist.index(exporter) exprefers2[importerslist[z]].remove(importer) del importerslist[0:(importerslist.index(exporter)-1)] else engaged[importer] = exporter if exprefers2[match]: # Ex has more importers to try exportersfree.append(match) return engaged 3 Answers
Without additional code to really debug, exprefers2is clearly a dict of strings; however, if you really want to delete it. You can cast the string to a list, or eval the value to convert it into a list, then use list.remove
import ast list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] list.remove(5) print list #[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7] #Data Structure you most likely have import_list = [1, 2] exprefers2 = {1: "abc", 2: "xyz"} print exprefers2[import_list[1]] #xyz #Or need to eval the string of a list import_list = [1, 2] exprefers2 = {1: u'[ "A","B","C" , " D"]', 2: u'[ "z","x","y" , " y"]'} exprefers2[import_list[1]] = ast.literal_eval(exprefers2[import_list[1]]) exprefers2[import_list[1]].remove("y") print exprefers2[import_list[1]] #['z', 'x', ' y'] Try it in this way then, name your list "a".
a = [362976,362974,362971,362968,362969] a.remove(362968) print a I think you need to check if the X has been changed. x = [1, 40, 33, 20] x.remove(33) print (x)
