All good so far but got to Ex 42 dealing with classes...

I get a TypeError: getattr(): attribute name must be a string when I run the
program...

I looked online, python reference manual 3rd edition, etc...
I was wondering if anyone has experience with this book because I hit a road

As always with this list, please post the code you're trying. Even if we had 
the book (I do not, personally), we don't know if your failing code matches the 
code in the book, or if the code in the book is correct.


So please post the code, and the complete error message your computer gives 
you.


Also not that getattr takes a string, per the error message. So to fetch the 
.foo attribute from some object "o" you would write:


 attribute = getattr(o, 'foo')

Note the quotes.

CHeers,

[Tutor] Python excel filter

[Lucas Mascia]

Hello,

I would like some guidance in a way to filter data from an excel sheet
(.xlsx)

I will be exporting an extensive table from a website with 400x20 infos. In
this sheet, I need to apply 3 or 4 filters and collect the amount of info
it shows then. Eg.:

1 - Export .xlsx from website
2 - Run python to filter
2.1 - Filter by client A
2.2 - Filter by task A
2.3 - Filter by Person A
3 - Repeat filter for different clients, tasks and persons
4 - Collect the amount each person does inside each client.


Please Help guide my through a starting poing

Thank you,

Lucas R. Mascia

Can you export to CSV instead? Its much easier to work with CSV files 
using the standard library than to use Excel sheets natively. There are 
Excel modules that you can download but CSV is standard functionality 
and Excel CSV format is the default.



2 - Run python to filter
2.1 - Filter by client A
2.2 - Filter by task A
2.3 - Filter by Person A


Thats pretty meaningless without knowing the format of the tables.


3 - Repeat filter for different clients, tasks and persons


I'm not sure what you mean by "repeat filter" can you elaborate?


4 - Collect the amount each person does inside each client.


What do you mean "the amount"? Is that a column in the table
or are you meaning a count of the number of entries by user?

Without a view of the table format its hard to be any more specific.

As many will not have access to this book, what is usually done here
is to copy and paste your code as well as your FULL error message into
a plain text email.  Also, it is usually helpful to state your Python
version and OS type and version.  This will give everyone the
information they need to help you.  Also, you probably need to
summarize what exercise 42 is asking you to do.

I have a copy of that book at home.  If memory serves me correctly, it
is written for Python 2.  If that is the case you probably want to be
looking at the Python 2 documentation.  Also, if you are trying to run
Python 2 code and you have Python 3 installed on your computer, you
will from time to time run into issues just because there ARE
differences between Python 2 and 3 syntax in some areas.

HTH,
