Attributeerror: ‘dict’ object has no attribute encode ( Solved )

Attributeerror_ 'dict' object has no attribute encode ( Solved )

Attributeerror: ‘dict’ object has no attribute encode error occurs if we invoke encode() from dict type object in the place of str type object. This encode() function is defined in str class and used to represent a string in bytes form. Actually in general terms,  If we invoke any attribute/function from a type of object whose class does not have its definition, the interpreter throws a similar error.

Attributeerror: ‘dict’ object has no attribute encode ( replicate ) –

To replicate this issue, we will take a sample dict and then try to invoke this encode() from there. Let’s try and see.

'dict' object has no attribute encode
‘dict’ object has no attribute encode

 

AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute encode ( Solution ) –

There are two broader ways to fix this issue. Let’s explore.

Solution – Runtime check the object –

If the code is expecting str object but at the run time, Interpreter encounters dict type of object because of invalid configuration, etc. This will generate the above AttributeError. The best way is to check the data type or use a try-expect block.

sample_dict ={
"1": "key1",
"2": "key2",
"3": "key3"
}
try:
 sample_dict.encode()
except: 
  print("invalid data type")
'dict' object has no attribute encode fix
‘dict’ object has no attribute encode fix

Solution 2 – extract and invoke –

If we are expecting any of the key as str-type objects, we need to apply this encode() function. In this type of scenario, if we apply encode() function directly we will get the same error. The solution and extraction, here is the code for this.

sample_dict ={
"1": "key1",
"2": "key2",
"3": "key3"
}
val=sample_dict.get("1")
val.encode()

Similar Errors & End Notes:

Sometimes because of confusion and sometimes due to run time errors, we all encounter similar errors.  In this type of error, Everything will remain common except attributes like read, add, etc. Just like the read and add attributes are also not defined in dict type of object. Hence it throws a similar error –

Since the solution will be the same either we need to call the correct attribute which fulfills the developer’s intent or we need to change the object which has the same attribute. To strengthen this concept we have created multiple similar articles.
