I'm not the first and I'm sure I won't be the last but I just can't get my head around the TypeError I am receiving.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO, sys
from time import sleep

leds = [4, 17, 27]
buttons = [18, 23, 24, 25]

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

def setupLED(ledNumber):
  GPIO.setup(leds[ledNumber], GPIO.OUT)

def setupBUTTON(buttonNumber):
  GPIO.setup(buttons[buttonNumber], GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN)
  GPIO.add_event_detect(buttons[buttonNumber], GPIO.RISING, callback=led1, bouncetime=300)

def led1():
  print("LED ON")

try:
  for leds in leds:
    print(leds)
    setupLED(leds)

  setupBUTTON(0)
  setupBUTTON(1)
  setupBUTTON(2)
  setupBUTTON(3)

  while True:
    sleep(0.001)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
  print("\nKeyboard Exit.")

except:
  print("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])
  raise

finally:
  GPIO.cleanup()

The above is a very simple bit of code on a Raspberry, in python and if you look at the setupLED(leds) on line 22 this is where it fails but I just can't get my head around why if I write it out in long format (setupLED(0), setupLED(1) etc..) it works...

Can someone point this numpty in the right direction?

Post the full error message. If necessary, disable the error-handling temporarily to see the full details.

Note that it is not sensible to do things like this:

	  for leds in leds:

It is obviously confusing and will, at some point, cause problems.

Good point thanks />

I have changed the code so it works, differently and maybe is good enough, but for reference the error is
