TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable in Python
The TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
error message is raised when you are trying to iterate over an object that has a value of None
, which is not iterable. This means that you are trying to use a for
loop or some other kind of iteration on an object that has a value of None
, which is not allowed in Python.
Here's an example of code that will raise this error:
This code will raise the TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
error because the items
variable has a value of None
, which is not iterable.
To fix this error, you need to make sure that the object you are trying to iterate over is a valid iterable object, such as a list, a tuple, or a string. You can also use an if
statement to check if the object is None
before attempting to iterate over it.
For example:
items = None
if items is not None:
for item in items:
print(item)
print("done without error")
This code will not raise the TypeError
error because the if
statement will prevent the for
loop from being executed if items
is None
.
