ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence

[Saad Bin Ahmed]

I am facing problem while running python code. Following is the program which read files where labels have been declared and add it by following the condition. Labels are not declared as array but I am unable to get why the following error shows.

Please have a look on it and give suggestions in order to rectify this error.
This program is too large so I copied here only that portion where labels are in process.

labels = set()
 
transcriptPath = options.root + options.transcriptFilename ## this is a path from where labels written in file
 
for line in file(transcriptPath).readlines():
    if line <> "" and line[0] <> '#' and line[0] <> '.' and line[0] <> '"':
        labels.add(line[:-1])
 
labels = list(labels)
labels.sort()
print len(labels) , "labels:"
print labels

According to the traceback, the error occurs with this statement: nc_var.assignValue(data)

What is nc_var and what is data? What does assignValue do?

Do you have more than one program with the same name, perhaps in different directories, and the error messages comes from a different program?

What is nc_var and what is data? What does assignValue do?

nc_var is a netcdf varriable and data contains all the labels like A,B,C.... assignValue is a builtin function, it does has a form

netcdf_variable.assignValue(value)

Actually I am using netcdf library for my program and this error shows in library program. I am unable to sort it out.

No I have a one program of this name in directory. I am not calling other directory's file in my program so this can not be the case.
