Python: Iterating through a dictionary gives me "int object not iterable"

Question

Here's my function:

def printSubnetCountList(countList):     print type(countList)     for k, v in countList:         if value:             print "Subnet %d: %d" % key, value 

Here's the output when the function is called with the dictionary passed to it:

<type 'dict'> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "compareScans.py", line 81, in <module>     printSubnetCountList(subnetCountOld)   File "compareScans.py", line 70, in printSubnetCountList     for k, v in countList: TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable 

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try this

for k in countList:     v = countList[k] 

Or this

for k, v in countList.items():
