Overcoming ZeroDivisionError: division by zero Error

[buran]

Hmm, still receive ZeroDivisionError: division by zero, trying the following:

Look at @stullis' example and how it differ from your code:

from ast import literal_eval
   
with open("C:\Dave\data.txt") as f :
    for line in f :
        name, values = line.split(' = ')
        values = literal_eval(values)
  
        print(f" District: {name}")
 
        try: 
            print(f"Hal received {values[3]} votes AVG: -  {values[3]/sum(values):.2%}).")
        except ZeroDivisionError:
            print('There are only zeros in values.'

Note, I don't think values[3]/sum(values) would produce average value, if that is what you calculate AVG
