Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe REPORTERS variable is a list, not a dict. Access elements by index or iterate.

fix

Use REPORTERS[0] or for reporter in REPORTERS:

affects: all

breakingIn version 3.x, REPORTERS is a list of dicts; in older versions it may have been a dict.

fix

Update your code to iterate over a list instead of accessing keys.

affects: >=3.0

deprecatedSome functions like get_reporter_by_abbreviation() are deprecated in favor of direct dict lookups.

fix

Use a dict comprehension: {r['abbreviation']: r for r in REPORTERS}

affects: >=3.0
