I am relatively new to Python (~5 months), so pardon my ignorance. I have been tasked with creating a program to do a few things.

First, I have a text file with information stored like the following:

name, street, city state zip, birthday, pet.

Second, my instructions include:

• Reading the text file and determine the age and based on the age, determine a discount. For instance, if the age is 18 -25, they receive a 5% discount.


• Match the pet preference with a vendor

I am utilizing classes for each of the attributes. I have a separate file for the class information which is indicated below. I have set/get methods for each attribute listed.

From information.py

class GetInfo:

    def __init__(self,name,street,city,state,zipcode,birthday,pet):

        self.__name = name



    def set_name(self,name):

        self.__name = name



    def get_name(self):

        return self.__name

At the end I have to write a letter for each individual. I can't figure out how to essentially keep the data separate in order to write the letter per individual. I will write each line using a .write(str) method. Here is my main program so far:

import information

import os

import time

CURRENT_YEAR = 2018



def main():

    customerInfo = information.GetInfo(name,street,city,state,zipcode,birthday,pet)

    tempFile = open('temp.txt','w')

    with open('c.TXT') as customerList:

    lines = customerList.readlines()

    for line in lines:

        tempFile.write( str(GetInfo.name) + 'n')

    tempFile.close()

main()

For the vendor list I will have a dictionary such as:

vendors = {"Cat:CatCity"}

I am perplexed at my next step, while also receiving this error when trying to run the program:

"main.py", line 10, in main customerInfo = information.GetInfo(name,street,city,state,zipcode,birthday,pet)

NameError: name 'name' is not defined

Try this class:

class GetInfo:

    def __init__(self,name,street,city,state,zipcode,birthday,pet):

        self.inner_name = name



    @property

    def get_name(self):

        return self.inner_name



    @name.setter

    def set_name(self, name):

        self.inner_name = name

You do not need to use the getter and the setter. In python you can access all attributes of an object without them. See also: Using @property versus getters and setters

The actual problem in your Code is the line

tempFile.write( str(GetInfo.name) + 'n')

The object GetInfo is not an instance of the class, but the class itself. And the class does not have the attribute name. What you probably meant was:

tempFile.write( str(customerInfo.name) + 'n')
