I have a textfile, let's call it goodlines.txt and I want to load it and make a list that contains each line in the text file.
I tried using the split() procedure like this:
>>> f = open('goodlines.txt') >>> mylist = f.splitlines() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' object has no attribute 'splitlines' >>> mylist = f.split() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: '_io.TextIOWrapper' object has no attribute 'split' Why do I get these errors? Is that not how I use split()? ( I am using python 3.3.2)

The Python "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'" occurs when we call the split() method on a list instead of a string. To solve the error, call split() on a string, e.g. by accessing the list at a specific index or by iterating over the list. Here is an example of how the error occurs. Copied!
TextIOWrapper , which extends TextIOBase , is a buffered text interface to a buffered raw stream ( BufferedIOBase ). Finally, StringIO is an in-memory stream for text.
The Python "TypeError: '_io. TextIOWrapper' object is not subscriptable" occurs when we try to use square brackets to access a key or index in a file object. To solve the error, use the readlines() method if you need a list of the file's lines, or parse the JSON before accessing a key.
You are using str methods on an open file object.
You can read the file as a list of lines by simply calling list() on the file object:
with open('goodlines.txt') as f: mylist = list(f) This does include the newline characters. You can strip those in a list comprehension:
with open('goodlines.txt') as f: mylist = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in f] If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
