From Unicode to String for Dicts in Screens

[trooper6]

Hi All,
This is such a basic simple thing...but I just can't crack it.

I have a dict. Both the Key and the Value are strings.
I want to show the keys in a box on a screen.
No matter what I do I get unicode representations: [u'sonnet'] rather than just the string "sonnet"

Here is my current tester code:

Code: Select all

default poemlist = {"sonnet": "summer"},{"haiku": "trees"}

screen poems():
    frame:
        xalign 1.0
        yalign 0.0
        vbox:
            label "Poems"
            for i in poemlist:
                text "{0!s}".format(i.keys())

# The game starts here.

label start:
    show screen poems()
    "Just testing it all out"

    return

I have tried all sorts of permutations of

Code: Select all

 text "{0!s}".format(i.keys())

and it is always the unicode object...never the string. There is clearly some sort of really obvious thing I'm missing. What's the answer here?

text ", ".join(i.keys())
maybe

You should convert to str().

Gas, I saw that stakeoverflow page before I posted and never got to to work on a renpy screen. Have you been able to make it work? If so, I'd love to see your code.
Remix, using join worked. It feels like a workaround and not "official"--but it works so I'm happy. Thanks!
