I summarize rows in a table in the SearchCursor and store them as variables. I want to refer to these variables in the following update cursor to write to a table. I get the following error on the second last line of code (in red): Tuple object does not support item assignment. When I debug the code, ROW[0] equals 'ARSSPAN' as a string. I want ROW[0] to reference the integer ARSSPAN summarized in the search cursor above. In the next iteration of the UpdateCursor, I want the integer STSPAN to be written out, etc. I feel my issue is with assembling a variable reference through concatenating a string with the iterator. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
# Create the search cursor to iterate through table and sum spans and cost
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fcdtest, ("FeedClass","SHAPE_Length","MGMTCOST",)) as cursor:
for row in cursor:
if row[0] == "ARS":
ARSSPAN += row[1]/55
ARSCOST += row[2]
elif row[0] == "ST":
STSPAN += row[1]/55
STCOST += row[2]
elif row[0] == "S":
SSPAN += row[1]/55
SCOST += row[2]
elif row[0] == "ARU":
ARUSPAN += row[1]/55
ARUCOST += row[2]
elif row[0] == "UT":
UTSPAN += row[1]/55
UTCOST += row[2]
elif row[0] == "U":
USPAN += row[1]/55
UCOST += row[2]
fld = "YR2015"
feedcls = ["ARS","ST","S","ARU","UT","U"]
for cls in feedcls:
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(out_data, (fld,)) as cursor:
row[0] = cls + 'SPAN'
cursor.updateRow(row)
