python - TypeError: tuple indices must be integers

I don't get what's wrong. I'll post the part of the code that's relevant.

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python\pygame\hygy.py", line 104, in <module>
    check_action()
  File "C:\Python\pygame\hygy.py", line 71, in check_action
    check_portal()
  File "C:\Python\pygame\hygy.py", line 75, in check_portal
    if [actor.x - 16, actor.y - 16] > portal[i][0] and [actor.x + 16, actor.y + 16] < portal[i][0]:
TypeError: tuple indices must be integers

function:

def check_portal():
    for i in portal:
        if [actor.x - 16, actor.y - 16] > portal[i][0] and [actor.x + 16, actor.y + 16] < portal[i][0]:
            if in_portal == False:
                actor.x,actor.y=portal[i][1]
                in_portal = True
        elif [actor.x - 16, actor.y - 16] > portal[i][1] and [actor.x + 16, actor.y + 16] < portal[i][1]:
            if in_portal == False:
                actor.x,actor.y=portal[i][1]
                in_portal = True
        else:
            in_portal = False

initializing actor:

class xy:
  def __init__(self):
    self.x = 0
    self.y = 0
actor = xy()

initializing portal:

portal = [[100,100],[200,200]],[[300,300],[200,100]]

Within the for loop, i = ([100, 100], [200, 200]), which is not a valid index for a list.

Given the comparison in the if statements, it looks like your intention was more like:

for coords in portal:
   if [actor.x - 16, actor.y - 16] > coords[0] and [actor.x + 16, actor.y + 16] < coords[0]:

where coords[0] == [100, 100] on the first iteration of the loop.

When you said for i in portal, in each iteration, instead of the indices in portal which you may think of, i is actually elements of portal. So it is not integer and causes error in portal[i][0].

So a quick fix is just replace that with for i in xrange(len(portal)), in which i is indices.

Given the initialisation of portal, the loop

for i in portal:
    ...

will only do two iterations. In the first iteration, i will be [[100,100],[200,200]]. Trying to do portal[i] will be equivalent to portal[[[100,100],[200,200]]], and this doesn't make sense. You probably just want to use i instead of portal[i]. (You probably want to rename it to something more meaningful than i, too.)
