testingdays = testingData.getMeasurements()

for day in testingdays:
	dayValues = []
	dayValues[0].append(day.tempMean)
	dayValues[1].append(day.tempMax)
	dayValues[2].append(day.tempMin)
	dayValues[3].append(day.dewPoint)
	dayValues[4].append(day.humidMean)	
	dayValues[5].append(day.humidMax)
	dayValues[6].append(day.humidMin)
	dayValues[7].append(day.pressure)
	dayValues[8].append(day.meanWindSpeed)
	dayValues[9].append(day.maxWindSpeed)
	dayValues[10].append(day.maxGustSpeed)
	dayValues[11].append(day.visibility)

this is my code and when i try to run it i get the error message:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 166, in <module>
dayValues[0].append(day.tempMean)
IndexError: list index out of range"

Each day has 12 classes/elements so the list index shouldn't be out of range!
I've got code just before this which pops items from a list, but this part shouldn't be involved with that so i'm not sure why i get this error message
sorry, not sure if i've posted enough information to get help with this!
Thanks

dayValues is an empty list when you start, so dayValues[0] isn't yet in dayValues and 0 is an index out of range.
You probably want dayValues = [[]]*12 at line 4

just append your data;

testingdays = testingData.getMeasurements()
dayValues = []
for day in testingdays:
    dayValues.append(day.tempMean)
    dayValues.append(day.tempMax)
    dayValues.append(day.tempMin)
    dayValues.append(day.dewPoint)
    dayValues.append(day.humidMean)    
    dayValues.append(day.humidMax)
    dayValues.append(day.humidMin)
    dayValues.append(day.pressure)
    dayValues.append(day.meanWindSpeed)
    dayValues.append(day.maxWindSpeed)
    dayValues.append(day.maxGustSpeed)
    dayValues.append(day.visibility)

And you are ready to go. And dont put or initialize list in a loop ok?
;)

thanks that helps a lot, i tried the second option, works now,
and i need the list to be initialised in a loop because i need it to reset for each day (there's more code below it within the for loop)

But that is not the logic.
You need to reset the list container or delete.

But you dont have to initialize a list in a loop.
no good ;)

I have difficulty understanding why you do not leave values in the object. From variable name I would expect to be list of measurement objects.
