Items into List inside Python

Hey,

I do not do a lot wit python component, but in general, the thing u are asking is against the concept.

Lets take ur list. Contains 3 elements.
And a component with a single input.

So, the code in the component ...
- with 'Item-Access' runs 3 times.
- with 'List-Access' runs only once.
- with 'Tree-Access' runs always once (but this is an other thing)

U have to choose one for ur code to run.

So if u need both, the list and the item, choose 'List-Access', and do a for OR foreach loop in ur script to take care of each item.
If u are going to have multiple inputs with different Access (ex. item, list), things are going complicated fast because of the matching (item-from-tree + list-from-tree) done internally by grasshopper,

Hope this helps somehow

Thanks for your response!,

I wanted to avoid using loops and just let the different 'items' inputs take care of themselves.

But I guess I'm just going through the learning curve of scripting and will have to jump into the waters of data coordination...
