Python error when trying to access list by index - “List indices must be integers, not str”

Question

I have the following Python code :

currentPlayers = query.getPlayers() 

for player in currentPlayers: 

return str(player['name'])+" "+str(player['score'])

And I'm getting the following error:

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

I've been looking for an error close to mine, but not sure how to do it, never got that error. So yeah, how can I transform it to integers instead of string? I guess the problem comes from str(player['score']).

To get rid of this error you can use the below-mentioned code:-

>>> player=[1,2,3] 

>>> player["score"] 

Traceback (most recent call last): 

 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> 

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str 

>>> player={'score':1, 'age': 2, "foo":3} 

>>> player['score']
