Can't access tuple inside 2d array python

Question

I have a 2d array that looks much like this:

[[(0, 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0)], [(0, 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0), ('', 0)]]

I am trying to access the values of a tuple from a given cell like this:

x,y = self.cell_array[col][row]

It gives me this error:

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Type of col and row must be type int

replace:

x,y = self.cell_array[col][row]

to:

x,y = self.cell_array[int(col)][int(row)]
