I'm working on making a basic text game. I'm trying to allow a player to type what they want to do and what they want to do it to. if the player wants to pickup shovel a shovel I want to check the action pickup then apply it to the item shovel.
So far I get AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'find' when I run the game. I want to get this code to print only the shovel item when I type pickup shovel. I'm trying to make it more natural when trying to pick something up, instead of having to identify pickup and then ask what the player wants to pick up.
class Room(object):
def __init__(self, name, description):
self.name = name
self.description = description
self.exits = {}
self.items = []
class Player(object):
def __init__(self, name, location):
self.name = name
self.location = location
self.inventory = []
self.gameOver = False
class Item(object):
def __init__(self, name, description, equipable, attackBonus, damage):
self.name = name
self.description = description
self.equipable = equipable
self.attackBonus = attackBonus
self.damage = damage
# Create Item
shovel = Item('Shovel', 'You find a sturdy shovel. It looks like it could do some good bashing.', True, 1, 2)
rockingChair = Item('Old Rocking Chair', "A rickety old rocking chair sits covered in grim. It doesn't look very appealing.", False, 0, 0)
stick = Item('Stick', 'You find a fragile looking stick, it looks like it could break easily.', True, 0, 0)

TownHall.items.append(shovel)

TownHall.items.append(stick)
Park = Room("Park", "There as some lovely green trees next to a small pond.")

for character in room_exits:
sys.stdout.write(character)
sys.stdout.flush()
for exit in player.location.exits:

while player.gameOver is False:
# Define Player input

if action.lower() in ['north', 'south', 'east', 'west']:

print("\n" + item.description + "\n")
# Remove Item from the room
player.location.items.remove(item)
# Add to Players Inventory
player.inventory.append(item)
else:
print("You can't pick up this item.")

print("That item isn't here.")
# Check Players Inventory

In case the action is a string, and it probably is since you're using lower() on it, you can use action.startswith("pickup") to make sure the first word is that, or "pickup" in action if you want it to contain pickup. But you may want to look into regular expressions to make sure pickup is the whole word.
