ERROR : string indices must be integers, not str #

[a.barriere]

Hi,

When starting a new scene, I have an error message in the script editor : # Error: TypeError: file mathLib.py line 5: string indices must be integers, not str #. It keeps me from installing atools . I don't know how it appeared, i tried to repair maya with the repair tool but it didn't work.

All the characters of a string have a unique index . This index specifies the position of each character of the string. TypeError: string indices must be integers means an attempt to access a location within a string using an index that is not an integer.

For example, str[hello"] and str[2.1] as indexes. As these are not integers, a TypeError exception is raised. This means that when you’re accessing an iterable object like a string or float value, you must do it using an integer value .

Python supports slice notation for any sequential data type like lists, strings , tuples, bytes, bytearrays, and ranges. When working with strings and slice notation, it can happen that a TypeError: string indices must be integers is raised, pointing out that the indices must be integers, even if they obviously are.
