I'm working on my python script as I'm stored the list of elements in the arrays.

I have got a very weird error when I'm trying to put each element in the getControl to allowed me to change the width size. I can get the list of elements from the arrays without have any problem.

When I try this:

programs_width = list()
for pos_X, prog_width, prog_ids in zip(program_X, program_width, program_id):
    if pos_X == '1073':    
        #30 mins
        if prog_width == '342':
            programs_width = 181

        #1 hour
        if prog_width == '691':
            programs_width = 181

        #need to find out how to get the programs_width outside
        print programs_width
        print prog_ids
        self.getControl(prog_ids).setWidth(programs_width)

It give me an error:

01:03:24 T:2084   ERROR: Exception in thread All_Channels_BACKUP_thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: an integer is required

The error are jumping on this line:

self.getControl(prog_ids).setWidth(programs_width)

Here is a output for the width and ids:

01:13:18 T:5032  NOTICE: 181
01:13:18 T:5032  NOTICE: 3417

I got no idea why I have an error, all I'm trying to do is to use the variable prog_ids to get each element from the arrays to put each id in the getcontrol before I could use the variable programs_width to change the width size each time. The type for program_width is int and the type for prog_id is str which is a string.

Do you know why I have got an error and do you know how to fix it?

Edit: I realised that the problem are coming from this line:

 elif pos_X == '1073':

Here is the list of elements:

  • self.getControl(prog_ids).setWidth(int(programs_width)) Commented Dec 27, 2014 at 1:20
  • @AvinashRaj thank you very much for that, but I still get the same error when I change the code. Do you know why I still get the same error? Commented Dec 27, 2014 at 1:22

    You say the error is in the line self.getControl(prog_ids).setWidth(programs_width), but in the traceback, it says the line is really self.getControl(str(prog_ids)).setWidth(str(programs_width)). This makes it hard to know whether you're running the code you think you are, or whether you're right about what the types are. Commented Dec 27, 2014 at 1:24
  • it shows the above error if you're doing any arithmetic calculation. In this case, convert the corresponding variables to the type int and then convert back the result to string while printing. Commented Dec 27, 2014 at 1:25
  • I have tried self.getControl(str(prog_ids)).setWidth(str(programs_width)) but it give me the same error. do I need to use something is like int(programs_width = 181) before I convert it back to string? Commented Dec 27, 2014 at 1:29

Reset to default

The problem is that programs_width is a list.

programs_width = list()

If none of these if statements

if prog_width == '342':
    programs_width = 181

#1 hour
if prog_width == '691':
    programs_width = 181

trigger, then programs_width will still be a list here:

self.getControl(prog_ids).setWidth(programs_width)

which causes an error.

@Rawling thank you for your advice, do you know what i would need to do to fix the problem?
@David: I'm not sure what your code is supposed to do, but I guess you should set a default value that's used when the two if-statements don't trigger. (an integer!)
I'm trying to compared the value to see if it match it then do something. What I would need to do in order to fix the problem? remove the quotes on the values?
I realised that the problem are coming from if pos_X == 1073:. I have put the list of elements for the pos_X, please see in my question that I have updated.

Your quotes are making these values strings, not integers. Remove the quotes on your values. In addition, the error message clearly indicates the bad line:

self.getControl(str(prog_ids)).setWidth(str(programs_width))

Notice that you are explicitly converting the parameter to a string with "str". Use "int", instead:

self.getControl(str(prog_ids)).setWidth(int(programs_width))

... or omit the conversion altogeher if you know the input is already an integer.

I have removed the quotes on my values, but it still get the same error. And I have tried with self.getControl(str(prog_ids)).setWidth(int(programs_width)) which it give me the same error. Do you have know why and what is wrong? :S
