Exclamation TypeError: unsubscriptable object?
I have this bit of code:
Code:
def convert(self, charFrom, charTo, dir):
        if os.path.exists(dir) == True:
            finalDir = dir
            fileList = os.listdir(finalDir)
            os.chdir(finalDir)
            for i in fileList:
                splitFileName = os.path.splitext(i)
                renamedFileNameP1 = splitFileName[0].replace(charFrom, charTo, 10000)
                print renamedFileNameP1
                print splitFileName[1]
                fileName = ''.join[(renamedFileNameP1, splitFileName[1])]
                os.rename(i, fileName)
            return "Done"                             
        else:
            return "Error! The directory: ", dir, " is invalid."

which is supposed to, for all the file in directory dir, replace
all instances of charFrom with charTO. However, I get the error mentioned in the thread title. Does anyone know why?
Thanks.

You didn't supply the traceback so I'm guessing that elsewhere in your program you are trying to call your function with convert[] instead of convert().

No, I don't do that.
Here's the traceback:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Evan\My Documents\Programming\Programs\Python\fileutility.py", line 77, in -toplevel-
    start.cmdloop()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\cmd.py", line 133, in cmdloop
    stop = self.onecmd(line)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\cmd.py", line 210, in onecmd
    return func(arg)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Evan\My Documents\Programming\Programs\Python\fileutility.py", line 22, in do_convertUnderscoreToSpace
    done = self.convert("_", " ", dir)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Evan\My Documents\Programming\Programs\Python\fileutility.py", line 69, in convert
    fileName = ''.join[(renamedFileNameP1, splitFileName[1])]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
