The First example works exactly as expected:
class dog:
def __init__(self,color):
self.color = color
fido = dog("black")
setattr(fido,"breed","dalmatian")
print(fido.breed) #prints dalmatian
However if I try to do the same for my actual use case (I would like to add an attribute to spacy tokens)
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm')
text = 'Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson'
doc = nlp(text)
setattr(doc[0],"Purpose","First Name") # Fails here
print(doc[0].Purpose)
I get an error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-b7bd5c7b8a5c> in <module>
5 doc = nlp(text)
6
----> 7 setattr(doc[0],"Purpose","First Name")
AttributeError: 'spacy.tokens.token.Token' object has no attribute 'Purpose'
What is the difference?
