A Python newbie! I need help converting a list of lists tuples of tuples.
I want to call the append_as_tuples function, but every time I return it, it says
it can only concatenate lists (not tuples) to listsHere is what I have so far:
def append_as_tuple(t, l): ''' Convert list l to a tuple and append it to tuple t as a single value ''' return t[:] + (tuple(l),) def convert_lists(lol): t = [] if type(lol) == a or type(lol) == tuple: return [convert_lists(lol) for i in t] return append_as_tuples(lol,a) #- test harness# a=[range(5), range(10,20), ['hello', 'goodbye']] print a print convert_lists(a) print convert_lists([])

John Machin about 13 yearsYour
if type(lol) == a
is quite wrong; it appears to work only because you have a global variable nameda
in your "test harness" anda
is not atype
instance ... so that test will beFalse
. Without the globala
, it would raise an exception.

Leland Hepworth almost 4 yearsThis will covert the outermost list to a tuple (or vice versa). However, the inner lists/tuples will remain as their original type.
