how to resolve the error: AttributeError: 'generator' object has no attribute 'endswith'

Question

当我尝试运行这段代码来预处理文本时，出现以下错误，有人遇到了类似的问题，但 post 没有足够的详细信息。

我在这里将所有内容都放在上下文中，希望能帮助审稿人更好地帮助我们。

这是函数；

def preprocessing(text):
    #text=text.decode("utf8")
    #tokenize into words
    tokens=[word for sent in nltk.sent_tokenize(text) for word in 
    nltk.word_tokenize(sent)]
    #remove stopwords
    stop=stopwords.words('english')
    tokens=[token for token in tokens if token not in stop]
    #remove words less than three letters
    tokens=[word for word in tokens if len(word)>=3]
    #lower capitalization
    tokens=[word.lower() for word in tokens]
    #lemmatization
    lmtzr=WordNetLemmatizer()
    tokens=[lmtzr.lemmatize(word for word in tokens)]
    preprocessed_text=' '.join(tokens)
    return preprocessed_text

在这里调用函数；

#open the text data from disk location
sms=open('C:/Users/Ray/Documents/BSU/Machine_learning/Natural_language_Processing_Pyhton_And_NLTK_Chap6/smsspamcollection/SMSSpamCollection')
sms_data=[]
sms_labels=[]
csv_reader=csv.reader(sms,delimiter='\t')
for line in csv_reader:
    #adding the sms_id
    sms_labels.append(line[0])
    #adding the cleaned text by calling the preprocessing method
    sms_data.append(preprocessing(line[1]))
sms.close()

结果；

AttributeError: 'generator' object has no attribute 'endswith'

我认为错误来自 nltk.corpus.reader.wordnet

的源代码

完整的源代码可以在nltk文档页面看到。这里post太长了；但下面是原始的 link：

感谢您的帮助。

错误消息和回溯指向问题的根源：

in preprocessing(text) 12 #lemmatization 13 lmtzr=WordNetLemmatizer() ---> 14 tokens=[lmtzr.lemmatize(word for word in tokens)] 15 preprocessed_text=' '.join(tokens) 16 return preprocessed_text

~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\nltk\stem\wordnet.py in lemmatize(self, word, pos) 38 39 def lemmatize(self, word, pos=NOUN):

很明显，从函数的签名（word，而不是words）和错误（"has no attribute 'endswith'" - endswith()实际上是一个str方法） , lemmatize() 需要一个单词，但这里：

tokens=[lmtzr.lemmatize(word for word in tokens)]

您正在传递生成器表达式。

你想要的是：

tokens = [lmtzr.lemmatize(word) for word in tokens]

注意：您提到：

I believe the error is coming from the source code for nltk.corpus.reader.wordnet

此包中确实 引发了 错误，但它 "is coming from"（在 "caused by" 的意义上）您的代码传递了错误的参数；）

希望这对您下次自行调试此类问题有所帮助。
