ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2

help resolve this error when trying to create network graph

# open nodes
with open('Twitter_SNA/nodes.csv', 'r')as nodescsv:
    nonreader = csv.reader(nodescsv)
    nodes2 = [n for n in nonreader][1:] # get list of node names
node_names = [n[0] for n in nodes2]
# open edges
with open('Twitter_SNA/edges.csv') as edgecsv:
    edgereader = csv.reader(edgecsv)
    edges3 = [tuple(e) for e in edgereader][1:] # retrieve list of edges

G.add_nodes_from(node_names)
G.add_edges_from(edges3)

The error is saying that G.add_edges_from is expecting to be passed an iterable that has each item being an iterable of 2.

edges3 = [tuple(e) for e in edgereader][1:] # retrieve list of edges

is passing in a list with each item being a tuple of 1 items, instead of a tuple of 2 items.

[Jmekubo]

changing 1 to 2 still pops the following error

# open nodes
with open('Twitter_SNA/nodes.csv', 'r')as nodescsv:
    nonreader = csv.reader(nodescsv)
    nodes2 = [n for n in nonreader][1:] # get list of node names
node_names = [n[0] for n in nodes2]
# open edges
with open('Twitter_SNA/edges.csv') as edgecsv:
    edgereader = csv.reader(edgecsv)
    edges3 = [tuple(e) for e in edgereader][2:] # retrieve list of edges

[Yoriz]

The problem is here tuple(e) a single item in the tuple, wants two items tuple(item1, item2)

thank you Yoris. i am wondering how to implement that would you help me
