Code:
import urllib2 as u
import os as o
inn = 'dword.txt'
w = open(inn)
z = w.readline()
b = w.readline()
c = w.readline()
x = w.readline()
m = w.readline()
def Dict(Let, Mod):
global str inn = 'dword.txt'
den = 'definitions.txt'
print 'reading definitions...'
dell =open(den, 'w')
print 'getting source code...'
f = u.urlopen('http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/' + Let)
a = f.read(800)
print 'writing source code to file...'
f = open("dic1.txt", "w")
f.write(a)
f.close()
j = open('defs.txt', 'w')
print 'finding definition is source code'
for line in open("dic1.txt"):
if '<meta name="description"content=' in line:
j.write(line)
j.close()
te = open('defs.txt', 'r').read().split()
sto = open('remove.txt', 'r').read().split()
print 'skimming down the definition...'
mar = []
for t in te:
if t.lower() in sto:
mar.append('')
else:
mar.append(t)
print mar
str = str(mar)
str = ''.join([ c for c in str if c not in (",", "'", '[', ']', '')])
defin = open(den, Mod)
defin.write(str)
defin.write(' ')
defin.close()
print 'cleaning up...'
o.system('del dic1.txt')
o.system('del defs.txt')
Dict(z, 'w')
Dict(b, 'a')
Dict(c, 'a')
Dict(x, 'a')
Dict(m, 'a')
print 'all of the definitions are in definitions.txt'
The first Dict(z, 'w') works and then the second time around it comes up with an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\test.py", line 64, in <module>
Dict(b, 'a')
File "C:\Users\test.py", line 52, in Dict
str = str(mar)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
Does anyone know why this is?
I've already tried that and I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\test.py", line 63, in <module>
Dict(z, 'w')
File "C:\Users\test.py", line 53, in Dict
strr = ''.join([ c for c in str if c not in (",", "'", '[', ']', '')])
TypeError: 'type' object is not iterable
