python3 cant view contents of <list>

[MartinBarker]

I am using a python discogs api package to retrieve a music playlist from online. I need to iterate through this list to view all results, but no matter what I try I get a typeerror saying 'list object is not iterable / subscriptable'

d = discogs_client.Client('ExampleApplication/0.1', user_token=DISCOGS_TOKEN)
results = d.list('117796')
print('results=')
print(results)
print(results[0])

you can see I am returning a list just fine, but if I try to view the contents of said list, I get an error

results=
<List '117796' 'Ron Hardy @ Music Box'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "twitter_bot.py", line 52, in <module>
    artist = results[0].artists[0]
TypeError: 'List' object is not subscriptable

We are talking about a Discogs List object here and not a Python list right?

I dont know by heart and am afk right now but can suggest you try figuring out what the objects props and methods are with print(dir(results)) HTH

That seems to be an List object. That has an property called items which is a Python list of ListItem objects

try

print(results.items[0])
