combining undefined lists to one list

Question

I'm scraping a website and the needed output is a list of floats. when scraping I'm getting back lists of the the floats in str. after converting them to floats I want to combine them to one list so i can iterate over it and write it to csv.

    for statname in data['athletes']:
        l = list(statname['categories'][1]['totals'][10:12])
        ast = (l[0])
        nast = []
        nast.append(ast)
        a = list(nast)
        sas = list(map(float, a))
        print(sas)

result:

[8.8] [6.3] [6.2] [7.6] [3.0][3.8]

needed:

[8.8, 6.3, 6.2, 7.6...]

Use `[i[0] for i in sas]` – Sociopath Nov 05 '19 at 11:11

This should work:

    sas = []
    for statname in data['athletes']:
        l = list(statname['categories'][1]['totals'][10:12])
        ast = (l[0])
        nast = []
        nast.append(ast)
        a = list(nast)
        sas = sas + list(map(float, a))
        print(sas)

Try using:

nast = []
for statname in data['athletes']:
    l = list(statname['categories'][1]['totals'][10:12])[0]
    nast.append(l)
sas = list(map(float, nast))
print(sas)
