TypeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__' - Error recieved in IRC weather bot in Python -

okay, i've got bit of python irc bot code, , added weather command it, doesn't seem work... heres code

# import necessary libraries. import socket   import time  import httplib  def commands(nick,channel,message):     if message.find('!test')!=-1:     ircsock.send('privmsg %s :%s: test complete\r\n' % (channel,nick))     elif message.find('!help')!=-1:         ircsock.send('privmsg %s :%s: other command test.\r\n' % (channel,nick))     elif message.find('!sex')!=-1:         ircsock.send('privmsg %s :%s: why?\r\n' % (channel,nick))     elif message.find('!quit')!=-1:         ircsock.send('quit :for bones of weak shall support me\r\n')         die('quit command given')     elif message.find('!op')!=-1:         ircsock.send('mode %s +o :%s\n' % (channel,nick))     elif message.find('!deop')!=-1:         ircsock.send('mode %s -o :%s\n' % (channel,nick))     elif message.find('!weather')!=-1:         tmp = message.find(':!weather')         city = tmp[1].strip()         reqest_str = '/laika_zinas/?city=' + city         c = httplib.httpconnection("www.1188.lv")         c.request("get", reqest_str)         ra = c.getresponse()         datas = ra.read()         temp, wind = tpars(datas)         ircsock.send('privmsg %s :%s: [+] temp: '+ temp +' c | wind: '+ wind +' m/s' % (channel,nick))         c.close() # basic variables used configure bot         server = "n0cht.bawx.net" # server channel = "#python" # channel botnick = "pyledrivr" # bots nick  def ping(ircmsg): # our first function! respond server pings.     ircsock.send("pong "+ ircmsg +"\n")      print("ping replied\n\r")  def sendmsg(chan , msg): # send message function, sends messages channel.     ircsock.send("privmsg "+ chan +" :"+ msg +"\n")  def joinchan(chan): # function used join channels.     ircsock.send("join "+ chan +"\n")   ircsock = socket.socket(socket.af_inet, socket.sock_stream) ircsock.connect((server, 6667)) # here connect server using port 6667 ircsock.send("user "+ botnick +" "+ botnick +" "+ botnick +" :pyledrivr\n") # user authentication ircsock.send("nick "+ botnick +"\n") # here assign nick bot  joinchan(channel) # join channel using functions defined  while 1: # careful these! might send infinite loop     ircmsg = ircsock.recv(2048) # receive data server     ircmsg = ircmsg.strip('\n\r') # removing unnecessary linebreaks.     print(ircmsg) # here print what's coming server     if ircmsg.find(' privmsg ')!=-1:         nick=ircmsg.split('!')[0][1:]         channel=ircmsg.split(' privmsg ')[-1].split(' :')[0]         commands(nick,channel,ircmsg)     if ircmsg.find("ping :") != -1: # if server pings we've got respond!         ping(ircmsg) 

now, when run bot, works fine, happens when issue command:

<wh0r3[mint]> !weather 99654 * pyledrivr has quit (client exited) 

and here's term shows:

:wh0r3[mint]!~wh0r3@n0cht-d1d272d.gci.net privmsg #lobby :!weather 99654 traceback (most recent call last):   file "pyledrivr.py", line 65, in <module>     commands(nick,channel,ircmsg)   file "pyledrivr.py", line 22, in commands     city = tmp[1].strip() typeerror: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__' 

i have no idea means or how fix it. , ideas?

this line:

tmp = message.find(':!weather') 

assigns integer tmp: position @ string ':!weather' found in message (see find). may not found @ all, since check in line above '!weather' in message, not ':!weather'.

then try , access tmp[1]. tmp number; doesn't have [1].

if want substring of message follows '!weather', this:

city = message[message.find('!weather')+8:].strip() 

(8 being length of '!weather')

or might find easier use split:

city = message.split('!weather')[1].strip()
