Append not working - WiPi - May-05-2020
Hi guys,
I have used this several times before and I simply cannot see what I am doing wrong here.
Previous code has extracted a list of data (data_id) under 'tag' - I just want to retrieve it and put it in an array.
Here's my code and output.
id = []
for id in tag:
data_id = id.get('data-id')
print(id.append(data_id),str(data_id))
#load id array list
id.append(data_id)Output:None 81568
None 176573
None 123466
None 124106
None 125505

Use different variable in for loop
id = [] for i in tag:

append is a function that returns None. It does not return the list with an appended value.
Your code does not make any sense. It does this:
tag[N].append(tag[N].get('data_id') for N in range(len(tag))
id = [] #<- This list is thrown away in the next line
for id in tag:
data_id = id.get('data-id')
print(id.append(data_id),str(data_id))
#load id array list
id.append(data_id) # This is id from the for loop
