error child.text = str(double_alphabet[counter]) in python

If you are getting an error while setting the text content of a child element in an XML tree using the ElementTree library in Python:

child.text = str(double_alphabet[counter])

Then it probably means that either the child element or double_alphabet[counter] is not of type str.

To fix this error, you can try converting both to strings before setting the text attribute. For example:

main.py
child.text = str(double_alphabet[counter])
43 chars
2 lines

If the issue persists, you can add error handling to handle the exceptions thrown in case of invalid type conversions. Here's an example:

main.py
try:
    child.text = str(double_alphabet[counter])
except TypeError as err:
    print(f"An error occured while setting value. {err}")
135 chars
5 lines

This will catch the error and print a custom message that tells you that there was an error when setting the value for the child element.

Alternatively, you can use the logging module instead of print to log errors.

main.py
import logging

try:
    child.text = str(double_alphabet[counter])
except TypeError as err:
    logging.exception(f"An error occured while setting value. {err}")
163 chars
7 lines

This will log the exception stack trace along with the error message.
