Ok, let's walk through a list.

I created a file, testlist.txt, with several addresses in it.

did this:

f1=open('testlist.txt','r')
members = f1.readlines()
f1.close()
type(members)
>>>type<list>
>>>|

Sokay, now try to walk it in a for loop:

for i in members:
	print members[1]

Gets this error:

	
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#119>", line 2, in ?
    print members[i]
TypeError: sequence index must be integer
>>>|


ok, how do I get it to walk through a loop, performing a block of code
for each item in the list?
