AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'model'

Question

I am trying to solve the problem I posted here, i.e, creating multiple 1000 note .apkg from one .csv How I explain there, "I have a script that receives a .csv file and creates an apkg (anki program format). What I want is to create a .apkg deck for every certain number of lines the user enters. For example, if I have a deck.csv file with 4200 lines, and I choose to divide it into 1000 note decks it should generate the files:

deck 1-1000.apkg
deck 1001-2000.apkg
deck 2001-3000.apkg
deck 3001-4000.apkg
deck 4001-4200.apkg

The code I have tried now is.

import csv
import random
import genanki

# Filename of the data file
data_filename = str(input("Enter input file name with extension: "))

# Filename of the Anki deck to generate
deck_filename = data_filename.split('.')[0] + ".apkg"

# Title of the deck as shown in Anki
anki_deck_title = data_filename.split('.')[0]

# Name of the card model
anki_model_name = "Modelname"

# Create the deck model

model_id = random.randrange(1 << 30, 1 << 31)

style = """
.card {
 font-family: arial;
 font-size: 24px;
 text-align: center;
 color: black;
 background-color: white;
"""

anki_model = genanki.Model(
    model_id,
    anki_model_name,
    fields=[{"name": "front"}, {"name": "back"}],
    templates=[
        {
            "name": "Card 1",
            "qfmt": '{{front}}',
            "afmt": '{{FrontSide}}<hr id="answer">{{back}}</p>',
        },
    ],
    css=style,
)

# The list of flashcards
anki_notes = []

with open(data_filename, "r", encoding="utf-8") as csv_file:

    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=";")

    for row in csv_reader:
        anki_note = genanki.Note(
            model=anki_model,
            fields=[row[0], row[1]]
        )
        anki_notes.append(anki_note)

for subdeck in range(int((round((len(anki_notes)/1000)+0,5)))):
  anki_deck = genanki.Deck(model_id, anki_deck_title+" "+str((subdeck-1)*1000+1)+"-"+str(subdeck*1000))
  anki_package = genanki.Package(anki_deck)

  # Add flashcards to the deck
  for anki_note in range(1000):
      anki_deck.add_note(anki_note)

  # Save the deck to a file
  anki_package.write_to_file(deck_filename)
  print("Created deck with {} flashcards".format(len(anki_deck.notes)))

But I get the error

Enter input file name with extension: CLDR.csv

What i'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I will guess but I think all your problem is beause you use two variables with similar name anki_notes and anki_note or beacuse you use the same name anki_note it two places and you could use it in wrong way.

First you use anki_note when you create notes

 anki_note = Note(...)

and in anki_note you have object which has field .model

But later you use anki_note for integers.

 for anki_note in range(1000):

and in next line you add anki_note to anki_deck like it would be Note

 #for anki_note in range(1000):
     anki_deck.add_note(anki_note)

So finally you add integers to anki_deck instead of Notes and later error shows in line self.add_model(note.model) that it gets integer instead of object with field .model

So probably you should use anki_notes[anki_note] in add_note

for anki_note in range(1000):
    anki_deck.add_note( anki_notes[anki_note] )

Or you should use anki_notes instead of range(1000)

for anki_note in anki_notes:
    anki_deck.add_note( anki_note )

---

BTW:

I didn't test it but maybe instead of complex

for subdeck in range(int((round((len(anki_notes)/1000)+0,5)))):

str((subdeck-1)*1000+1) + "-" + str(subdeck*1000)

you need simpler

for subdeck in range(0, len(anki_notes), 1000):

str(subdeck+1) + "-" + str(subdeck+1000)
