AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'has_key' in Python

Dung Do Tien Jul 05 2022 233

Hello guys, I am a beginner in Python and I have created a small code that helps me print out all information of a tourist guide. I stored tourist info inside a dictionary.  It's simple like this:

tour_info = {'name':"Vietnam Day", 'price':1200, 'totalday':15, 'total visitor': 15 }
print("Hello, welcome to Vietnam tour \n")
print("Your tour name is :")
print(tour_info.has_key('name'))

print("You need to pay: $")
print(str(tour_info.has_key('price')))
print("in ")
print(str(tour_info.has_key('totalday')))

Data inside the dictionary might get from the database but in this example, I fixed it. 

But when running this code I got an exception AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'has_key'. Below is the detail of the exception:

Hello, welcome to Vietnam tour 

Your tour name is :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 4, in <module>
    print(tour_info.has_key('name'))
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'has_key'


** Process exited - Return Code: 1 **
Press Enter to exit terminal

I'm using Python 3.10 and ran on window 11.

Thanks in advance.

    The Python interpreter throws the error because we are using Python 3. The dictionary method has_key()  only exists in Python 2. You can refer 2 solutions below:

    Solution 1

    Using in keyword to find a key in a dictionary. See the demo here:

    tour_info = {'name':"Vietnam Day", 'price':1200, 'totalday':15, 'total visitor': 15 }
print("Hello, welcome to Vietnam tour \n")
print("Your tour name is :")
print('name' in tour_info) # will return true/false

print("You need to pay: $")
print('price' in tour_info) # will return true/false

print("in ")
print('totalday' in tour_info) # will return true/false

    #Output

    Hello, welcome to Vietnam tour 

Your tour name is :
True
You need to pay: $
True
in 
True

    Solution 2

    Change Python Major Version from 3 to 2.
