Assigning new list indices to existing list

97 views Asked by At

Pretty new at python and I'm struggling with something. I'm breaking out a bunch of data points from a CSV file, one point which is a date (mm/dd/yyyy). I'm taking that date and splitting it at each "/" in order to separate the respective parts into separate lists. That is where I'm having trouble. At the end of my code when I try to print each index of the list beyond zero I get these errors. Ultimately the thing I want to do with these three individual date objects is add them as sub-lists to the end of my existing ptInfo List (ptInfo[8], ptInfo[9], ptInfo[10]) How can I do this?

how do I then add those three list elements to my ptInfo List?

>>> pt_info = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> d = '01/02/03'
>>> d.split('/')
['01', '02', '03']
>>> pt_info.extend(d.split('/'))
>>> pt_info
['a', 'b', 'c', '01', '02', '03']
>>>
