Hi i have dicts that i want to be strings and they look like this now:

{'name': 'Bobbaindus', 'donation': 1000},
{'name': 'Liamtheing_', 'donation': 7500},
{'name': 'kruu', 'donation': 893},
{'name': 'fy7', 'donation': 500},
{'name': '1shh', 'donation': 5300}

but i want it to say:

Bobbaindus: 1000
Liamtheing_: 7500
kruu: 893
fy7: 500
1shh: 5300

do you want to have an unique string at the end?

true grove
#

unique?

#

what is that

remote valve
#

like, all the information in one string

true grove
#

no, i have like
for x in check:
print(x)
and i get one of them at a time

remote valve
#

ok, do you know fstring?

true grove
#

I have heard of it but i dont know how they work

remote valve
#

it is like this:

a = 4
output = f"your number is {a}"
print(output)

# -------

your number is 4```
true grove
#

Okay

remote valve
#

so you could do something like this:```py
l = #list with all your dicts

for dic in l:
print(f"{dic['name']}: {dic['donation']}"```

shrewd spruce
#

I would go so far as to have, and basing it on the given example, py for dic in l: name = dic['name'] donation = dic['donation'] print(f'{name}: {donation}')Purely to keep the f-string itself clean.

#

Which could also be achieved with str.format.

remote valve
#

yeah, it is better

#

but str.format is kind of deprecated

shrewd spruce
# 
for dic in l:
    print('{}: {}'.format(dic['name'], dic['donation'])```Seeing it I don't like it.
#

str.format still has some niche uses.

#

Though f-strings can usually do most things.

#

str.format does templating better than f-strings if you want to pass that template around.

remote valve
#

ah yeah I see

true grove
#

Thanks but i get this error

line 132, in sponsortop
for dic in sponsorcol:
TypeError: 'Collection' object is not iterable

shrewd spruce
#

Post your code.

true grove
#

for dic in sponsorcol:
name = dic['name']
donation = dic['donation']
print(f'{name}: {donation}')

Hey @true grove!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

From where does razkdb['sponsor'] hail?

#

client['razkdb']

#

Where does that come from?

#

Where does the Collection type come from?

#

Because I think sponsorcol is a Collection.

#

It's telling you that it's not iterable. You can't for loop through it that way.

#

I think.
