AttributeError: <unprintable AttributeError object> when running on ArcGIS10

[hanyhassaballa]

i have installed ArcGIS 10, and i am getting this error:
AttributeError: <unprintable AttributeError object>

when i am trying to run python script that were develop in ArcGIS 9.3, what could be the problem.

[MelissaDoyle]

we are having the same problem after upgrading to ArcGIS 10 - did you find a solution?

[Marion_CountyAuditor]

We got the same error as well - still looking for a solution.....

[JasonScheirer]

Can you paste a full traceback?

[DavidAllen]

Can you paste a full traceback?

Did you find a solution? One of my students asked me to help solve this, and I'd look like the hero if I can come up with the answer (or if y'all did and I can steal it!).

Hi David,

Would it be possible to give, if not a full traceback, then at least the code snippet that was causing the error your student was describing? I've come across this problem in a couple of different contexts, from what I recall, so a bit of context could go a long way 🙂

Cheers,

Hi every one,
I do have the same problem and I don't know where it comes from...
any suggestion?

could it be because of the space in the folder name "sample tools"
in this case what to do since when your rename it replacing the space by un underscore the tools doesn't woprk anymore?

[ChristopherStorer]

To accurately catch the error, you will need to put your code in a try/catch loop and interpret the error; otherwise, you will always get generic errors like this when you run code.  Try the following (make sure you indent properly):

    try:
        print("Place code here")

    except arcpy.ExecuteError:
        Errors = "TRUE"
        logger.error("An error occurred during geoprocessing:")
        logger.error(arcpy.GetMessages(2))
    except Exception as ErrorDesc:
        Errors = "TRUE"
        logger.error("An unknown error occurred:")
        logger.error(ErrorDesc.message)

Let us know what error you get from this, and we can proceed from there.

this is the error I get....
doesn't speak much to me...but it says module...could be something doing with the toolboxe?
