Question

Ok, i know this topic has been addressed several times, but none of what i seen is helping me. I\'m getting the error in the title and i\'m not sure how to fix the error. He

Answer 1

You probably have at least one empty line in your file (usually the last line); explicitly test for that:

for record in students:
    if not record.strip():
        continue
    n, ex1, ex2, ex3 = record.split(",")

You may want to look at the csv module to read your student records with instead; you'd still need to skip empty lines but the comma-splitting is handled for you.
