Python Texttable

Question

I am trying to build a table for an exercise using texttable.

tab.add_row(row) = ["Match1", Team1_matches[1], Team2_matches[1], max(Team1_matches[1],Team2_matches[1])]

I am getting this:

  tab.add_rows(row) = ["Match1", Team1_matches[1], Team2_matches[1]]
SyntaxError: can't assign to function call

Answer 1

You assigned the list of elements to tab.add_row(row) , that's why you got the SyntaxError

The correct way use Texttable is:

# create a list with the elements and assign it to row
row = ["Match1", Team1_matches[1], Team2_matches[1], max(Team1_matches[1],Team2_matches[1])]
# insert a row into table by invoking add_row() of the TextTable object tab.
tab.add_row(row)
