[Solved]TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

[NectDz]

I am having a problem with my try and except in python, so basically everytime a person types a letter the whole program will crash and I can not find a way to fix this error using try and except. TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

def add(user_A, user_B):     if board[user_A] == 0:         board[0] = 'X'     elif board[user_B] == 0:         board[0] = "O"     else :         print("Retry..")   def game():     user_A = ""     user_B = ""     game = False     while game != True:         try:             show()             user_A = int(input("\n'X' it is your turn: "))             game = True         except Exception as e:             time.sleep(1)             print(e)         add(user_A, user_B)

Not sure why it is marked as solved - is it solved?

Could you post the full error in error tags?

First off however, if you only wanted the user to enter an integer, you'd want to move the 'add' function call so it is only called when the user types an integer:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

while game != True:     try:         show()         user_A = int(input("\n'X' it is your turn: "))         add(user_A, user_B)     except Exception as e:         time.sleep(1)

EDIT: Also, where does 'user_B' get set? If user_b is always "" (and empty string), then you'll always get an error. If this isn't full code, could you also post your full code?

It is solved I could not find a way to delete it, the mistake was an indent error when I called the add function since it was in the try and except statement. I appreciate you're willingness to help, thank you!

Fair enough - glad you solved it!
