Arabic Wordnet for Synonyms in Python?

I am using python 2.7, I am trying to get synonyms of Arabic words using Arabic WordNet

I downloaded both needed files:

AWNDatabaseManagement.py upc_db.xml

Its working fine when I enter the word itself not using a variable

outputs In Backwalter form but I managed to translate them to arabic:

But the problem is that I want to loop on a set of words, but I get the following error

I'm not familiar with the package that AWNDatabaseManagement comes from, but from reading your question it seems to be the case that wm.get_synsetids_from_word() will return None when it can't find any results. (I don't know what "synsetids" are either.)

To avoid your error you can do this: 

synsets = wn.get_synsetids_from_word(xxx) or []

This will assign the empty list [] to synsets only in the cases where the function returns None. Since an empty list is iterable, you will not get a typeerror when looping over it.
