Python Crawling- TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

Question

Here is my code right now:

front_deeplink = ("http://www.jsox.de")
Spider = 20
Region = 7236


def trade_spider(max_pages):
for reg in Region:
    page = 0
    while page <= max_pages:
        page += 1
        r = requests.get("http://www.jsox.de/affiliatesearch.aspx?&regionid=" + str(reg) + "&pid=" + str(page))
        soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

        g_data = soup.find_all("div", {"class": "gridHeadOuter productInfoOuter"})

        for item in g_data:
            Header = item.find_all("div", {"class": "offerInto"})
            Header_final = (Header[0].contents[0].text.strip())
            price = item.find_all("strong", {"class": "priceBig priceBlock"})
            Price_final = (price[0].text.strip())
            Deeplink = item.find_all("a")
            for t in set(t.get("href") for t in Deeplink):        
                Deeplink_final = (str(front_deeplink) + t)

            print("Header: " + Header_final + " | " + "Price: " + Price_final[:-1] + " | " + "Deeplink: " + Deeplink_final)

trade_spider(int(Spider))

However, I keep getting the error message:

for reg in Region:
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

when I try and run this.

What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone help me with that? Any feedback is appreciated.

You have defined Region = 7236, which is an int, so, like the error says, you cannot iterate over it. — agold

What are you trying to do? what are you supposed to do with the number 7236? — Óscar López

OK, then what were you expecting to do with for reg in 7236 if you know that 7236 is the value of Region? — Óscar López

In your code you have this declaration:

Region = 7236

Then, you try to do this:

for reg in Region:

Clearly, a Region is just a number, you can't iterate over it as you would, say, iterate over a list. Use for to traverse lists, or other iterable objects - numbers are simply not iterable.

Use range() or xrange(), which receive an int and produce an iterable.
