Difficulty Using Python Split String Method -

I hate to ask such a basic question to me, but I do not seem to be working in the partitioning method Could python

I have a dictionary, when I print it, it looks like:

  data_dict = & lt; Query Date: {u'ids ': [u'1012, 738'], You'ct ': [u'9']} & gt;  wants to create an array of id objects from the list, such as:  
  ids = [1012, 738]   
 It appears That list 'id' is actually only a string of different IDs by commas, so I tried:  
  id_string = data_dict ['id'] id_string.split for id id ',') In ID: Print (id)   
 Nothing is printed. Then I thought, maybe u means that this is not a string and I need to convert it to string first, so I tried:  
  id_string = data_dict ['id'] Id_string = str (id_string) id = id_string.split (',') For IDs in ID: Print (id)   
 Nothing is printed. Not sure what I'm doing.   
 
 
  [u'10123838]  is a list so that you get the first of that list To get the element, use  id_string = data_dict ['id'] [0] .  
 The string in the list of integers either uses the  map  or  comprehension of the list to convert items :  
  
 Demo:  
  & gt; & Gt; & Gt; Strs = '1012,738' & gt; & Gt; & Gt; Map (int, strs.split (',')) [1012, 738]> gt; & Gt; & Gt; [Int (x) for x in Strs.split (',')] [1012, 738]
