<p>Do you encounter the following error message?</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><code>TypeError: NoneType is not subscriptable</code></pre>
<p>You’re not alone! This short tutorial will show you why this error occurs, how to fix it, and how to never make the same mistake again. </p>
<p>So, let’s get started!</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p class="has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background">Python raises the <code>TypeError: NoneType is not subscriptable</code> if you try to index <code>x[i]</code> or slice <code>x[i:j]</code> a <code>None</code> value. The <code>None</code> type is not indexable, i.e., it doesn’t define the <code><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-__getitem__-magic-method/" data-type="post" data-id="125374" target="_blank">__getitem__()</a></code> method. You can fix it by removing the indexing or slicing call, or defining the <code>__getitem__</code> method.</p>
<h2>Example</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="762" height="140" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/image-20.png" alt=" TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable" class="wp-image-16736" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/image-20.png 762w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...300x55.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uplo...150x28.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>The following minimal example that leads to the error:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="3" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">x = None
print(x[0])
# TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable</pre>
<p>You set the <code>variable</code> to the value <code>None</code>. The value <code data-enlighter-language="generic" class="EnlighterJSRAW">None</code> is not a container object, it doesn’t <em>contain </em>other objects. So, the code really doesn’t make any sense—which result do you expect from the indexing operation?</p>
<p><em><strong>Exercise</strong>: Before I show you how to fix it, try to resolve the error yourself in the following interactive shell:</em></p>

</ul>
<h2>Fixes</h2>
<p>You can fix the<em> non-subscriptable TypeError </em>by wrapping the non-indexable values into a container data type such as a <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-lists/" title="The Ultimate Guide to Python Lists" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">list </a>in Python:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">x = [None]
print(x[0])
# None</pre>
<p>The output now is the value <code>None</code> and the script doesn’t yield an error message anymore.</p>
<p>An alternative is to define the <code>__getitem__()</code> method in your code:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">class X: def __getitem__(self, i): return f"Value {i}" variable = X()
print(variable[0])
# Value 0
</pre>
<p class="has-base-background-color has-background"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f30d.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Related Tutorial</strong>: <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-__getitem__-magic-method/" data-type="post" data-id="125374" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Python <code>__getitem__()</code> magic method</a></p>
<p>You overwrite the <code>__getitem__</code> method that takes one (index) argument <code>i</code> (in addition to the obligatory <code><a rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Python Self — An Interactive Guide with Video" href="https://blog.finxter.com/self-in-python/" target="_blank">self</a></code> argument) and returns the <code>i</code>-th value of the “container”. </p>
<p>In our case, we just return a string <code>"Value 0"</code> for the element <code>variable[0]</code> and <code>"Value 10"</code> for the element <code>variable[10]</code>. </p>
