Error in python replace. (AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'replace')

Question

Environment

I am using Python 3 and my OS is Windows 7. I understand that some commands have changed from the transition from python 2.7 to 3 (What I have used).

Problem

The variable is temporary but is this:

(((((0, 7), 7), 8), 4), 5) 

Here is the code to get rid of the brackets:

randy = randy.replace(")", "")
randy = randy.replace("(", "")
randy = randy.replace(" ", "")

When it tries to execute the replace function, I get thrown an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 248, in run_nodebug
File "Criptic.py", line 134, in <module>
randy = randy.replace(")", "")
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'replace'

Edit:

Here is all of the code:

#Import string
import string
import random
#Input user data
text = input("Enter your text to be converted: ")

#Test Print
print("-------------------------")
print("Your text is: ",text)

Answer 1

You have a tuple (a sort of list) of numbers, and you want to make that a string. You can't replace the brackets, they aren't a part of the variable, they are just a part of its representation.

Instead you should use join() and str()

 result = " ".join(str(x) for x in randy)

However, this probably will not give the right result either, as it is a nested list of tuples. You probably mean: randy = randy + (rand,) instead if randy = randy,rand .

Answer 2

randy = randy,rand

This notation creates a tuple of two elements, tuples do not have a method called replace .

If you just want to concatenate the numbers into a list representation separated by commas, you could do this in your loop:

randy = []
num = 0
while num < finalcount:
    rand = random.randrange(1,9)
    randy.append(rand)

Then you remove the replace lines, and instead do this

randy = ",".join(randy)

to get a string that has the values separated by commas.

You should maybe add the output that you would like to get to your question, because at the moment it's not quite clear what you want to do exactly.

Answer 3

exam_st_date = (11, 12, 2014)
# Sample Output : The examination will start from : 11 / 12 / 2014

newtup = str(exam_st_date).replace(',', ' /')


print(newtup)

look at mine example should give you some results

Answer 4

To delete a list of characters, you could use the string's translate method:

import string
name = "(((((0, 7), 7), 8), 4), 5)"
table = string.maketrans( '', '', )
print name.translate(table,"()")
