I’m working on making a basic text game.
I’m trying to allow a player to type what they want to do and what they want to do it to.
if the player wants to pickup shovel a shovel I want to check the action pickup then apply it to the item shovel.

So far I get AttributeError: ‘list’ object has no attribute ‘find’ when I run the game.
I want to get this code to print only the shovel item when I type pickup shovel.
I’m trying to make it more natural when trying to pick something up, instead of having to identify pickup and then ask what the player wants to pick up.

class Room(object):
    
def __init__(self, name, description):
        self.name = name
        self.description = description
        self.exits = {}
        self.items = []
        

class Player(object):
    def __init__(self, name, location):
        self.name = name
        self.location = location
        self.inventory = []
        self.gameOver = False
        

class Item(object):
    def __init__(self, name, description, equipable, attackBonus, damage):
        self.name = name
        self.description = description
        self.equipable = equipable
        self.attackBonus = attackBonus
        self.damage = damage 

# Create Item
shovel = Item('Shovel', 'You find a sturdy shovel. It looks like it could do some good bashing.', True, 1, 2)
rockingChair = Item('Old Rocking Chair', "A rickety old rocking chair sits covered in grim. It doesn't look very appealing.", False, 0, 0)
# Create Locations

YourHouse = Room("Your House", "There isn't anything new here.",)

TownHall = Room("Town Hall", "")
TownHall.items.append(shovel)
TownHall.items.append(rockingChair)

# Start the Game

print('n' + player.location.name)
print(player.location.description)
room_exits = "n" + "The exits are: n"
for character in room_exits:
    sys.stdout.write(character)
    sys.stdout.flush()
for exit in player.location.exits:
    print(exit)
while player.gameOver is False:

    # Movement
    if action.lower() in ['north', 'south', 'east', 'west']:
        if action in player.location.exits:
            player.location = player.location.exits[action]
            print("n" "You went to " + player.location.name + '.')
        if len(player.location.description) <1:
            player.location.description = emptyDescription
    # Action
    if (action.find('pickup') != -1):
        item = player.location.items
        for item in player.location.items:
           if (player.location.items.find(action)):
                print(item.name)
    else:
        print("Sorry, you can't do that.")
