Print named tuple value in a list

Question

A function is returning me the below list of named tuples:

[popenfile(path='/home/giampaolo/monit.py', fd=3, position=0, mode='r', flags=32768), popenfile(path='/var/log/monit.log', fd=4, position=235542, mode='a', flags=33793)]

I want to print the value of 'path' in the tuple. How to do this? Please help dear community.

I tried to follow online articles but no solve.

Does this answer your question? [What are "named tuples" in Python?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2970608/what-are-named-tuples-in-python) — Mechanic Pig, May 28 '23 at 16:19
These examples show how to add values in tuple and then access that. But, I want to access & print values of named tuples that I found from another function. — Saga Harby, May 28 '23 at 16:23
I don't understand what you're asking, these examples have already shown you how to access values. — Mechanic Pig, May 28 '23 at 16:29
I can't understand how to access each popenfile tuple and its value using for loop. — Saga Harby, May 28 '23 at 16:38
So you should ask or search how to use the for loop, a simple example: `for tpl in your_list: print(tpl.path)` — Mechanic Pig, May 28 '23 at 16:45
Thanks. But this is giving the below error: NameError: name 'popenfile' is not defined — Saga Harby, May 28 '23 at 16:53
You need to define the form of the namedtuple. See my answer below. — user19077881, May 28 '23 at 17:12

To make it clear see below code:

from collections import namedtuple

popenfile = namedtuple('popenfile', 'path fd position mode flags')

tuple_list = [popenfile(path='/home/giampaolo/monit.py', fd=3, position=0, mode='r', flags=32768), popenfile(path='/var/log/monit.log', fd=4, position=235542, mode='a', flags=33793)]

for ntup in tuple_list:
    print(ntup.path)

which prints

/home/giampaolo/monit.py
/var/log/monit.log
