input a list

hello,

I am trying to input a list of dictionaries to my python component. however I don't know how to make it understand that the type is a list,so it can iterate through it.any thoughts?

I guess it is considering the input as a string rather than a list, is there a way to fix this?for example also I was hoping this list item would give me the members of the list,but it doesnt

You can split the string into items!

Hi Nazanin -

the text you're feeding in will always be interpreted as a string - but if you need to convert it to a python object you can work with (a list of dictionaries or whatever else) you can use the built-in "eval" function.

thanks for the response,that is the first thing I thought of, however,the numbers that I need to access can be 1 digit or more,(depending on the user's input),so I dont know which element to get or slice the list from which element to which.
