🔒 Trouble dealing with yaml dictionaries in python. Error is

[halcyon night]

string indices must be integers but I swear I am typecasting it right. Here is the code.

    try:
        with open('config.yaml', "r") as file:
            data = yaml.safe_load(file) or {}  # If file is empty, return an empty dictionary
    except FileNotFoundError:
        data = {}

    print(wallet)  # Debugging linemy_address = wallet['address']

    data["wallet"] = myAddr
    data["wallet"]["tokens"] += tokens

    with open("config.yaml", 'w') as file:  
        yaml.dump(data, file, default_flow_style=False)
        
    print(f"Tokens saved to {config.yaml}")

def myWalletTokens(my_address):
    url = f"https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=tokentx&address={my_address}&apikey={config.get_apis().get('etherscan')}"
    response = requests.get(url).json()

    tokens = set()

    if response["status"] == "1":  # Success
        for tx in response["result"]:
            tokens.add(tx["contractAddress"])  # Collect unique token contract addresses

    print("Tokens found in wallet:", tokens)

    tokens_list = list(tokens)
    
    updateWalletConfig(my_address, tokens_list)```

here is the yaml file structure

```wallet:
  address: "aaa"  # Replace with your wallet address
  private_key: "aaa"  # Replace with your wallet private key
  tokens:
    - "0xTokenAddress1"
    - "0xTokenAddress2"

Please help!

Hey @halcyon night!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

could you add syntax highlighting according to instructions the bot mentioned?

[halcyon night]

yes sorry

[royal condor]

what is the full traceback?

[halcyon night]

wallet:
  address: "aaa"  # Replace with your wallet address
  private_key: "aaa"  # Replace with your wallet private key
  tokens:
    - "0xTokenAddress1"
    - "0xTokenAddress2"```

[fast mortar]

yeah post the traceback

[halcyon night]

how do i get that

[royal condor]

!traceback

[halcyon night]

i made it catch the error

[craggy storm]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[royal condor]

^ post the entirety of this kind of error

[fast mortar]

make it...not catch the error?

[halcyon night]

ok hold on

data["wallet"]["tokens"] += tokens
TypeError: string indices must be integers

[royal condor]

yea, if there is another try/catch we don't see, that might prevent you from actually seeing the full error.

[fast mortar]

what's tokens here?

[royal condor]

I would assume that myAddr is not actually a dictionary then

[halcyon night]

ooo

[fast mortar]

did you at least check that the types of the variables were what you expected?

[royal condor]

did you mean to do:
data["wallet"]["address"] = myAddr
perhaps?

[halcyon night]

yes that might be the problem

you guys are right im messing up some vars here i just couldnt see it

[fast mortar]

if I were debugging such an error, checking the contents of the variables would be the first thing I'd do

to make sure they match my assumptions

[halcyon night]

now its raising a key error for wallet

but my yaml has wallet in it right there

File "c:\Users\e7illice\Documents\python3\tradebot\tradebot.py", line 284, in updateWalletConfig
data["wallet"]["address"] = myAddr
KeyError: 'wallet'

[fast mortar]

I'm sure you already checked the contents of data...right?

[halcyon night]

it gives me this

[fast mortar]

uh, that makes no sense

what did you use to print data?

[halcyon night]

hold up

try:
        with open('config.yaml', "r") as file:
            data = yaml.safe_load(file) or {}  # If file is empty, return an empty dictionary
    except FileNotFoundError:
        data = {}
    
    print(data)
    print(wallet)  # Debugging linemy_address = wallet['address']

    data["wallet"]["address"] = myAddr

{}
{'address': 'aaa', 'private_key': 'a', 'tokens': ['0xTokenAddress1', '0xTokenAddress2']}

then

key error

[fast mortar]

so is data that first empty dict?

[halcyon night]

i guess but then how is it reading wallet

OOOOO

omg

im fried

jesus dont let me program anything

O wait its still giving me a key error ok nvm

[fast mortar]

given that the dict is empty, I'm sure that's expected?

[halcyon night]

ok i changed the code so the wallet does return content

but its still gives me key error ill show output

def updateWalletConfig(myAddr, tokens):
    
    print(wallet)  # Debugging linemy_address = wallet['address']

    print(wallet["wallet"]["address"])
    print(wallet["wallet"]["tokens"])

    wallet["wallet"]["address"] = myAddr
    wallet["wallet"]["tokens"] += tokens

    with open(config(configPath), 'w') as file:  
        yaml.dump(wallet, file, default_flow_style=False)
        
    print(f"Tokens saved to {config.yaml}")```

{'address': 'aaa', 'private_key': 'aaa', 'tokens': ['0xTokenAddress1', '0xTokenAddress2']}

[fast mortar]

but the key error relates to data not wallet

so how is changing the wallet going to help?

[halcyon night]

na i removed data entirely because i made two vars of the same thing

wallet = config.get_wallet()

[fast mortar]

ok so you cannot figure out why wallet does not have a particular key?

[halcyon night]

na because like when i print(wallet) it gives me this = {'address': 'aaa', 'private_key': 'aaa', 'tokens': ['0xTokenAddress1', '0xTokenAddress2']}

so why cant

i iterate

throug hit

[fast mortar]

where do you see the wallet key?

[halcyon night]

in the config its here yaml wallet: address: "a" # Replace with your wallet address private_key: "a" # Replace with your wallet private key tokens: - "0xTokenAddress1" - "0xTokenAddress2"

[fast mortar]

you yourself just gave me the printed output of wallet, and it does not have a key named wallet

[halcyon night]

ohhh

ok

yes

my fault

[fast mortar]

ok so where is the confusion coming from now?

[halcyon night]

i think i understand more now if i edit this code rq it shouldnt give me the error 1 sec

yes i fixed that error and got another one

we are making progress

❤️
