Trouble with converting list , dict to int values!

[deanhystad]

I'm not sure if you could pack in any more errors into such a short line of code.

diff = abs (x(1)-(2))

Start with x is a list. You cannot do x(). You can do x[]. x[1] is a dictionary.

diff = abs (x[1]-(2))

Now (2) is the number 2. So this tries to subtract the number 2 from a dictionary. That is not allowed. I am going to assume you want to subtract the X number in dictionary x[1] from the X number in dictionary x[2]

diff = abs (x[1]- x[2])

This is closer but still wring because it subtracts a dictionary from a dictionary and you want to subtract the 'X' attributes.

diff = abs (x[1].X- x[2].X)

There is probably a reason you are using a list of dictionaries that is not discussed in your post instead of just putting the numbers in the list like this.
x = [2593.75, 2457.42, 2593.75, 2457.42]
