Error of some kind

Jul 10th, 2005

I have been working on some python code with a friend and for some reason i keep getting this message when i try to run his code,

if ar[2]!="client":
IndexError: list index out of range

I can't see whats wrong and i have never had this message come up before??

All there is to the client line is this : if ar[2]!="client":
Thats it there is nothing else there, i have asked my friend and he reckons it works for him. I have tried some examples i found on the net and if they have any "ar" in them they don't seem to work. I have tried uninstalling all my python stuff and doing a fresh install and that doesn't seem to make any difference either.

You need to put some elements into the ar list ...

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ar = []  # empty list gives IndexError: list index out of range
 
#ar = ["cl", "cli", "clien"]  # properly loaded list will work
 
if ar[2]!="client":
    print "not client"
ar = []  # empty list gives IndexError: list index out of range

#ar = ["cl", "cli", "clien"]  # properly loaded list will work

if ar[2]!="client":
    print "not client"
