Passing dictionary elements

I need to be able to pass dictionary elements into a function but it keeps telling me it is not the correct type.





This does not work. It won't convert the dict_element to a string. Somehow I need to pass those elements into the function. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I dont see any reason why this shouldnt work. The only problem i can see would be a KeyError if the element didn't exist within the dictionary. Does the dictionary contain strings or digits. In any case give this a go:



This should simply show the element in the console. Maybe you can show us your whole program since i can't see any reason to do 'var = "%s" % element'; if you do want to convert the element to a string and it isnt already then use the str() function instead i.e.



Hope this helps,

Mark.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately the program is at work and I fired off that question right before I left. I'll look it over again and if I can't figure it out repost on Monday.

Stepped in Monday morning and got it all to work within 10 minutes. I think the problem was that it was 5:45pm on Friday and I wanted to get the hell out of here.
