To fix the AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘split’  error, you need to make sure you are “calling the split() method on a string, not a dictionary.”

AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘split’ error typically occurs in Python when you are trying to “use the split() method on a dictionary which is incorrect because the split() method is meant for strings.”

Reproduce the error

main_dict = {'key': 'value'}

split_dict = main_dict.split(", ")

print(split_dict)

Output

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'split'

How to fix it?

main_str = "G20, Summit!"

split_string = main_str.split(", ")

print(split_string)

Output

['G20', 'Summit!']

Common reasons and fixes for the error

  1. You are expecting a string but have a dictionary. To fix that, you’ll need to trace back in your code to see why you’re not getting the data type you expect.
  2. If you intend to work with a dictionary, then using split() doesn’t make sense, as it’s designed for string manipulation.

I really hope this will fix your confusion and issue!
