'Int' object has no attribute

Question

I am trying to create a list objects that holds data about professional golfers. The different data points are golfer name and putting percentages from different distances. I want to sort this list of objects by name once all the data has been entered for every player object. The list of these objects is called PlayerNumber. When I try to sort PlayerNumber by attribute 'name'. I get an error stating that 'int' has no attribute and I am not sure why PlayerNumber is being referred to as an integer and not a list.

Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code:

I'm using Python 3.4 spyder IDE. I'm relatively new to python as an FYI.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It isn't that PlayerNumber is being referred to as an integer, but rather that PlayerNumber is a list of integers, and every element of that list (and integer) doesn't has an attribute "name", which sort() is trying to access (in order to sort them).

Edit:

To elaborate, the second to last line in your sample:

PlayerNumber.sort(key = operator.attrgetter("name"))

is trying to sort PlayerNumber, using the comparison function: operator.attrgetter("name"), which means it must call that function on each element of PlayerNumber to get its rank in the sorted array. That is why you are trying to grab a .name attribute from the integers in PlayerNumber.
