Why am I getting AttributeError: Object has no attribute? [closed]


Your indentation is goofed, and you've mixed tabs and spaces. Run the script with python -tt to verify.


If you’re using python 3+ this may also occur if you’re using private variables that start with double underscore, e.g., self.__yourvariable. Just something to take note of for some of you who may run into this issue.


These kind of bugs are common when Python multi-threading. What happens is that, on interpreter tear-down, the relevant module (myThread in this case) goes through a sort-of del myThread.

The call self.sample() is roughly equivalent to myThread.__dict__["sample"](self). But if we're during the interpreter's tear-down sequence, then its own dictionary of known types might've already had myThread deleted, and now it's basically a NoneType - and has no 'sample' attribute.
