The title is terrible, but hopefully I can explain in my post. Creating a little game as my pet project for python, and I'm currently creating the inventory. Everything was... ok when developing the game until it came to making the function that will show all of the player's inventory.

    elif (prompt == "examine"):

        print(inventory[1].name)

        gameprompt()

Ok, so I created a list that basically has a bunch of classes from Items in it. To call on the name element of these classes I have to do something like this, otherwise I just get its memory location which is largely useless to the player. I've tried

    elif (prompt == "examine"):

        print(inventory.name)

        gameprompt()

Thought that this above example would print only the name of all the Item objects, but there's a compilation error instead because I didn't specify which one. So I then tried~

        elif (prompt == "examine"):

            print(inventory[1:1000].name)

            gameprompt()

Thinking that it would print all of the Item objects names up to 1000, but I obviously don't have that so I thought it would print the names up to the latest object that was there and stop but there was another compilation error from this...

If there is anyway to print out an element of a class for all class objects in a list please let me know. The full code of this game is here, although I don't think you'll need it to help me solve my problem (it is also very large.)

A list comprehension or map would work perfectly here:

print([item.name for item in inventory])

The comprehension iterates the list, and "replaces" each element in the list with whatever the part before for evaluates to. In this case, it's item.name.

° It actually doesn't replace the element in the original list. It evaluates to a new list full of replaced items.
