为什么我会收到此错误“TypeError: 'method' object is not iterable”？

Question

I do not understand how a list can not be iterable. We initialized the list and used it to add pieces of a jigsaw puzzle inside the list.

The user is to input the amount of rows and column they want the board to be. Each row is a new piece and each column is a new piece. Each piece is a list of 3 lists to look like a matrix. My idea was to create a list pieces=[] and append the list with each new generated piece.

My problem is that i can't get the str() to print the board out. I was thinking we should print the first list of the 3 lists of each piece in the pieces list and then for the middle list of the 3 lists and then the last list of the three lists. And start at a new line. I do know how to implement it though.

Or I was thinking i could just print each piece alone and then add pieces to that string to print out the board. So i would not be using the pieces=[] list. I don't know which is best or how to implement them.

I tried looking at other questions but I could not find an answer, I try to print the string representation of the class:

Answer 1

You misunderstand the error message: It doesn't say that a list would not be iterable, it says that a method isn't.

What happens is that your pieces list doesn't contain pieces but references to the add_piece method because you forgot to call the method when you wanted to append its result in line 56.

You could have found this error even having less experience with exception types by invoking a debugger ( pdb ) just before the line that raises the error.

谢谢托马斯，你的回答足以让我发现我的问题在我的 x=response.json() 上丢失了 ()
