Keep getting Type_Error in Python when trying to solve with formula containing >-CodePudding

I need to print all the values from XML data that are more than the average. I figured out how to solve for the average but I'm having trouble printing all the values that are more than the average. This is the code, the formula is in the more_than_average function

import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET


def load_data(fpath="properties.xml"):
    tree = ET.parse(fpath)
    root = tree.getroot()

    prop_list = []

    for child in root:
        data = child.attrib.copy()
        data['netIncome'] = float(child.text)
        data["id"] = data["id"]
        data['cost'] = float(data['cost'])
        data['downPayment'] = float(data['downPayment'])
        data['state'] = data['state']
        data['percentage'] = float(data['percentage'])
        prop_list.append(data)

    return prop_list

def more_average_income(prop_list):
    value = 0
    for i in prop_list:
        value  = i['netIncome']
        average = {round(value / len(prop_list), 2)}
        more_aver_inc = (value > average)
        print(more_aver_inc)

This is a sample of the data being imported

    <property id="H00001" cost="106000"  downPayment="24380" state="NM" percentage="0.12">2925.6</property>

</properties>

I keep getting this Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/school/VisualStudio/01.LESSON/properties.py", line 77, in <module>

  File "/Users/school/VisualStudio/01.LESSON/properties.py", line 59, in more_average_income
    more_aver_inc = (value > average)
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'set'

CodePudding user response：

average is a set()

By surrounding your value with brackets, you are creating a set containing one value. Python cannot compare float and set, that's why it throws an error.

average = round(value / len(prop_list), 2)
