AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Question

I have a script with these two functions:

# Getting content of each page
def GetContent(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.content

# Extracting the sites
def CiteParser(content):
    soup = BeautifulSoup(content)
    print "---> site #: ",len(soup('cite'))
    result = []
    for cite in soup.find_all('cite'):
        result.append(cite.string.split('/')[0])
    return result

When I run program I have the following error:

result.append(cite.string.split('/')[0])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Output Sample:

URL: <URL That I use to search 'can be google, bing, etc'>
---> site #:  10
site1.com
.
.
.
site10.com

URL: <URL That I use to search 'can be google, bing, etc'>
File "python.py", line 49, in CiteParser
    result.append(cite.string.split('/')[0])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Make sure that cite.string has proper values in each iteration. Validate it before applying split function. — cppcoder

In order to provide answers, you need to tell us what is cite object and what does cite.string return. — cppcoder

It can happen, that the string has nothing inside, than it is "None" type, so what I can suppose is to check first if your string is not "None"

# Extracting the sites
def CiteParser(content):
    soup = BeautifulSoup(content)
    #print soup
    print "---> site #: ",len(soup('cite'))
    result = []
    for cite in soup.find_all('cite'):
        if cite.string is not None:
            result.append(cite.string.split('/'))
            print cite
    return result

Yes... I think this is what I needed... let me check... Thanks

For checking NoneType, it is preferable to use is or is not rather than == or !=

user1767754 Over a year ago

Yes i am agreeing with that, it was not so pythonic.

for cite in soup.find_all('cite'):
    if( (cite.string is None) or (len(cite.string) == 0)):
        continue
    result.append(cite.string.split('/')[0])

I have also error: TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len().. I think I should remove or (len(cite.string) == 0))... yes?

cppcoder Over a year ago

You could remove that. But len check was intentionally made second to None check so that None objects are not checked for len.

I upgraded conda and threadpoolctl. It worked.

for me upgrading threadpoolctl (pip install threadpoolctl==3.1.0 ) was enough as others have mentioned it in other threads.

If you're trying to use stable diffusion amd then probably missing https://download.amd.com/developer/eula/rocm-hub/AMD-Software-PRO-Edition-24.Q3-Win10-Win11-For-HIP.exe That was my case, after installing HIP; I was able to pass the error.
