Common Python errors with diagnosis and solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Import Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### ModuleNotFoundError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'package_name'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Package not installed
|
||||
2. Virtual environment not activated
|
||||
3. Wrong Python version
|
||||
4. Typo in module name
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if package installed
|
||||
pip show package_name
|
||||
pip list | grep package
|
||||
|
||||
# Check which Python
|
||||
which python
|
||||
python --version
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if in venv
|
||||
echo $VIRTUAL_ENV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install package
|
||||
pip install package_name
|
||||
|
||||
# If using virtual env
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
pip install package_name
|
||||
|
||||
# If wrong Python version
|
||||
python3 -m pip install package_name
|
||||
pip3 install package_name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ImportError: cannot import name 'X' from 'Y'
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
ImportError: cannot import name 'MyClass' from 'mymodule'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Name doesn't exist in module
|
||||
2. Circular import
|
||||
3. Module structure changed
|
||||
4. Typo in name
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check what's available
|
||||
import mymodule
|
||||
print(dir(mymodule))
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if circular import
|
||||
# Add print at top of each module to see import order
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Circular import fix - move import inside function
|
||||
def my_function():
|
||||
from other_module import something
|
||||
return something()
|
||||
|
||||
# Or restructure to avoid circular dependency
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Type Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Function returned None (forgot return)
|
||||
2. dict.get() returned None
|
||||
3. API response is None
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Add None check
|
||||
if result is not None:
|
||||
value = result['key']
|
||||
|
||||
# Use default value
|
||||
value = result.get('key', 'default') if result else 'default'
|
||||
|
||||
# Use walrus operator (Python 3.8+)
|
||||
if (result := get_result()) is not None:
|
||||
value = result['key']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### TypeError: 'X' object is not callable
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Variable shadows built-in function
|
||||
2. Missing method parentheses somewhere
|
||||
3. Property accessed as method
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Culprits**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Shadowing built-ins - DON'T DO THIS
|
||||
list = [1, 2, 3] # Shadows list()
|
||||
str = "hello" # Shadows str()
|
||||
dict = {'a': 1} # Shadows dict()
|
||||
type = "my_type" # Shadows type()
|
||||
id = 123 # Shadows id()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Rename variables
|
||||
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
|
||||
my_str = "hello"
|
||||
|
||||
# Or delete the shadow
|
||||
del list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### TypeError: unsupported operand type(s)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Mixing types in operation
|
||||
2. Unexpected type from input/API
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Convert types explicitly
|
||||
result = str(number) + text
|
||||
result = number + int(text)
|
||||
|
||||
# Type checking
|
||||
if isinstance(value, int):
|
||||
result = value + 10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Attribute Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'X'
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Variable is None when it shouldn't be
|
||||
2. Function returned None
|
||||
3. Failed assignment
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Guard against None
|
||||
if text is not None:
|
||||
words = text.split()
|
||||
|
||||
# With default
|
||||
words = (text or "").split()
|
||||
|
||||
# Assert early
|
||||
assert text is not None, "text cannot be None"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### AttributeError: module 'X' has no attribute 'Y'
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
AttributeError: module 'json' has no attribute 'loads'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Local file shadows standard library
|
||||
2. Wrong module imported
|
||||
3. Outdated module version
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
print(json.__file__) # Check which file is loaded
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# If local file shadows stdlib
|
||||
mv json.py my_json_utils.py
|
||||
rm json.pyc __pycache__/json*
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for naming conflicts
|
||||
ls *.py | grep -E "^(json|os|sys|re|io)\.py$"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Key/Index Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### KeyError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
KeyError: 'username'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Key doesn't exist in dict
|
||||
2. Typo in key name
|
||||
3. Data structure changed
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Use .get() with default
|
||||
username = data.get('username', 'anonymous')
|
||||
|
||||
# Check before access
|
||||
if 'username' in data:
|
||||
username = data['username']
|
||||
|
||||
# Use defaultdict
|
||||
from collections import defaultdict
|
||||
data = defaultdict(str)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### IndexError: list index out of range
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
IndexError: list index out of range
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Accessing index beyond list length
|
||||
2. Empty list
|
||||
3. Off-by-one error
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check length first
|
||||
if len(my_list) > index:
|
||||
value = my_list[index]
|
||||
|
||||
# Use try/except
|
||||
try:
|
||||
value = my_list[index]
|
||||
except IndexError:
|
||||
value = default_value
|
||||
|
||||
# Safe last element
|
||||
last = my_list[-1] if my_list else None
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Value Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### ValueError: invalid literal for int()
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'abc'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Non-numeric string to int()
|
||||
2. Float string to int()
|
||||
3. Empty string
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Safe conversion
|
||||
def safe_int(value, default=0):
|
||||
try:
|
||||
return int(value)
|
||||
except (ValueError, TypeError):
|
||||
return default
|
||||
|
||||
# Check first
|
||||
if value.isdigit():
|
||||
number = int(value)
|
||||
|
||||
# For floats as strings
|
||||
number = int(float("3.14")) # -> 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### ValueError: too many values to unpack
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Unpacking mismatch
|
||||
2. Data has more/fewer items than expected
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Use * to capture rest
|
||||
first, *rest = [1, 2, 3, 4] # first=1, rest=[2,3,4]
|
||||
first, second, *_ = [1, 2, 3, 4] # Ignore extras
|
||||
|
||||
# Check length first
|
||||
if len(items) >= 2:
|
||||
a, b = items[0], items[1]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## File Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### FileNotFoundError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'file.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. File doesn't exist
|
||||
2. Wrong path (relative vs absolute)
|
||||
3. Typo in filename
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from pathlib import Path
|
||||
|
||||
# Check existence
|
||||
path = Path('file.txt')
|
||||
if path.exists():
|
||||
content = path.read_text()
|
||||
|
||||
# Use absolute path
|
||||
path = Path(__file__).parent / 'data' / 'file.txt'
|
||||
|
||||
# Create if not exists
|
||||
path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
|
||||
path.touch()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### PermissionError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/path/to/file'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. No write permission
|
||||
2. File owned by another user
|
||||
3. File is read-only
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -la /path/to/file
|
||||
stat /path/to/file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Change permissions
|
||||
chmod 644 /path/to/file
|
||||
chmod 755 /path/to/directory
|
||||
|
||||
# Change ownership
|
||||
sudo chown $USER:$USER /path/to/file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Write to user directory instead
|
||||
from pathlib import Path
|
||||
user_dir = Path.home() / '.myapp'
|
||||
user_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Encoding Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### UnicodeDecodeError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. File not UTF-8 encoded
|
||||
2. Binary file read as text
|
||||
3. Mixed encodings
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Try different encoding
|
||||
with open('file.txt', encoding='latin-1') as f:
|
||||
content = f.read()
|
||||
|
||||
# Detect encoding
|
||||
import chardet
|
||||
with open('file.txt', 'rb') as f:
|
||||
result = chardet.detect(f.read())
|
||||
encoding = result['encoding']
|
||||
|
||||
with open('file.txt', encoding=encoding) as f:
|
||||
content = f.read()
|
||||
|
||||
# Ignore errors (lossy)
|
||||
with open('file.txt', encoding='utf-8', errors='ignore') as f:
|
||||
content = f.read()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## JSON Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### json.decoder.JSONDecodeError
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Invalid JSON syntax
|
||||
2. Empty string/file
|
||||
3. HTML returned instead of JSON
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagnosis**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Print raw content first
|
||||
print(repr(response.text))
|
||||
print(response.text[:100])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check before parsing
|
||||
if response.text:
|
||||
try:
|
||||
data = json.loads(response.text)
|
||||
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
|
||||
print(f"Invalid JSON at line {e.lineno}, col {e.colno}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {response.text[:200]}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Handle HTML error pages
|
||||
if response.text.startswith('<'):
|
||||
raise ValueError("Received HTML instead of JSON")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Recursion Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Infinite recursion
|
||||
2. Missing base case
|
||||
3. Deep data structure
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Increase limit (temporary fix)
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
sys.setrecursionlimit(10000)
|
||||
|
||||
# Better: convert to iteration
|
||||
def factorial_iterative(n):
|
||||
result = 1
|
||||
for i in range(1, n + 1):
|
||||
result *= i
|
||||
return result
|
||||
|
||||
# Use @lru_cache for memoization
|
||||
from functools import lru_cache
|
||||
|
||||
@lru_cache(maxsize=None)
|
||||
def fib(n):
|
||||
if n < 2:
|
||||
return n
|
||||
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Async Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### RuntimeError: Event loop is closed
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
RuntimeError: Event loop is closed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Trying to use closed event loop
|
||||
2. Event loop not properly managed
|
||||
3. Windows-specific issue with ProactorEventLoop
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Use asyncio.run() (Python 3.7+)
|
||||
asyncio.run(main())
|
||||
|
||||
# For Windows
|
||||
if sys.platform == 'win32':
|
||||
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
|
||||
|
||||
# Explicit loop management
|
||||
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
|
||||
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
|
||||
try:
|
||||
loop.run_until_complete(main())
|
||||
finally:
|
||||
loop.close()
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### RuntimeError: cannot reuse already awaited coroutine
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
RuntimeError: cannot reuse already awaited coroutine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
1. Awaiting same coroutine twice
|
||||
2. Storing coroutine in variable and reusing
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Wrong - reusing coroutine
|
||||
coro = fetch_data()
|
||||
await coro
|
||||
await coro # Error!
|
||||
|
||||
# Correct - create new coroutine each time
|
||||
await fetch_data()
|
||||
await fetch_data()
|
||||
|
||||
# Or use asyncio.create_task for concurrent execution
|
||||
task1 = asyncio.create_task(fetch_data())
|
||||
task2 = asyncio.create_task(fetch_data())
|
||||
await asyncio.gather(task1, task2)
|
||||
```
