When I run this program, I get the following error. I cannot find how the list assignment goes out of range. Could you guys go through my program and tell me where I went wrong? For me the list seems fine. How does it go out of index?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/packagings.py", line 47, in <module>
    obj.ply_read_values()
  File "C:/Python27/packagings.py", line 27, in ply_read_values
    self.flute[i]=input("Enter flute:")
IndexError: list assignment index out of range

Answer 1

self.flute is initialized to an empty list, so it has no elements you can reset. Use self.flute.append and similarly for your other lists.

Answer 2

assuming to your code, you need to replaceself.weight=0 with self.weight=[] i think it is your problem
