Why do I get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'something'?

Question

I keep getting an error that says

AttributeError: \'NoneType\' object has no attribute \'something\'

Answer 1

You have a variable that is equal to None and you're attempting to access an attribute of it called 'something'.

foo = None
foo.something = 1

or

foo = None
print(foo.something)

Both will yield an AttributeError: 'NoneType'
