Question

I am trying to make python module for jenni/phenny irc bot.

This is part of my code

def bp(jenni, input):
    try: 
        text = input.group(2).encode('utf-8').split()
    except: 
        jenni.reply("Please use correct syntax '.bp id weapons 7'. Available for weapons and food only")
    if text[0].isstr() and text[1].isstr() and text[2].isdigit() and len(text) == 3 and text[1] == ('weapons' or 'food'):
        url = 'http://someAPIurl/%s/%s/%s/1.xml?key=%s' % (text[0], text[1], text[2], key)

If the input is already a str why would I be getting this error?

AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘isstr’

Answer 1

The error is exactly what it says; str has no method isstr().

If you want to make sure that it’s only letter(s), use .isalpha().

Example:

>>> '0'.isalpha()
False
>>> 'a'.isalpha()
True
>>> 'aa'.isalpha()
True
