Question

I try to call up a list stored in the dictionary:

obj = {
    'a' : [0,1,2],
    'b' : {
        'c' : [0,1,2]
    }
}

The code below is correct for JavaScript, but not in Python

print(obj.a[0], obj.b.c[0])

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 57, in <module>
  print(obj.a[0], obj.b.c[0])
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'a'

So, How to get the items of the list?

Answer 1

First, don’t use object as a variable name.

Then, the correct syntax for dictionary access is

print(obj['a'][0], obj['b']['c'][0])

if you want the first item of the list. If you want the entire list, use

print(obj['a'], obj['b']['c'])
