"Str object has no attribute append" Python-CodePudding

I have no idea how to write python I am currently trying and have been stuck on this error for 3 hours, I have absolutely no idea what to do anymore

import os, sys
clear = lambda: os.system("clear")
from Account import *
account = Account() 
name = Account()
password = Account()

while True:
    print()
    print('User Authentication:')
    print('1. Login to Account')
    print('2. Create Account')
    print('3. Exit')
    print()

    action = input('Please Select Option: ')
    action = action[0]
    print()

    if action == '1':
        account.login(name, password)
    elif action == '2':
        account.create(name, password)
    elif action == "3":
      sys.exit()

For my main.py and for account.py here

import os

class Account():
  def __init__(self):
    self.name = []
    self.password = []
    self.clear = lambda: os.system("clear")
    
  def login(self, name, password):
    self.name = input("Please enter your username: ")
    if password != self.password or name != self.name:
      print("Incorrect Username or password")
    if password == self.password and name == self.name:
      print("Log in successful")
  def create(self, name, password):
    self.name = input("Please enter a username for your account: ")
    self.name.append(name)
    self.password = input("Please create a password for your account: ")
    self.password.append(password)

CodePudding user response：

You have redefined the name variable in create method, after that you thought it is still a list no it is not ,now it is a string and you need to rename the variables.

I don't know if that is right because I have no computer now but I will write it for you and you try and tell me.

import os

class Account():
  def __init__(self):
    self.names = []
    self.passwords = []
    self.clear = lambda: os.system("clear")
    
  def login(self, name, password):
    self.name = input("Please enter your username: ")
    if password != self.password or name != self.name:
      print("Incorrect Username or password")
    if password == self.password and name == self.name:
      print("Log in successful")
  def create(self, name, password):
    name = input("Please enter a username for your account: ")
    self.names.append(name)
    password = input("Please create a password for your account: ")
    self.passwords.append(password)

Your code has a lot of errors but I have tried to solve your main error only.

CodePudding user response：

it still doesnt work but whatecer im on the verge of killing myself, ikll just bhand it in

CodePudding user response：

You are overwriting self.name. Try this instead.

self.name.append(input("Please enter a username for your account: "))

third and fourth row from the bottom.

Also you probably dont want to use input() if you already pass some arguments to your functions
