Error with kml.newpoint

[Anna Grube]

Hi,

I am new to py and simplekml and trying to make a scripts which create grid points for a ETA model.

I have this error: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'count'  and AttributeError     48 ## Saving  ---> 49         kml.save("ETAPoints.kml")

What is wrong here ? 

Thanke in advance

if __name__ == '__main__':

grid = 0.166

maxlat = 57.5

minlat = 47.5

maxlon = 15.5

minlon = 5.5

## define latitude for points for ETA Domain for EUROPE

latitude = tuple(np.arange(30.00, 70.00, grid))

## define longitude for points for ETA Domain for EUROPE 

longitude = tuple(np.arange(-20.00, 20.00, grid))

## Select the points in the area of interest

#c0 = lat > minlat

#c1 = lat < maxlat

#latitude = lat[c0 & c1]

#c2 = lon > minlon

#c3 = lon < maxlon

#longitude = lon[c2 & c3]

## Made some points 

points = range(len(latitude))

 

    ## open=1 just opens the document in the TOC (table of contents). Not a necessary step.

kml = Kml(name="ETAPoints", open=1) 

## A simple Point

for k in range(len(points)):

      kml.newpoint(name=points[k],

coords=[(longitude[k],latitude[k])])

## Saving

    kml.save("ETAPoints.kml")

print "DONE"

Hi

I had a quick look at your code  (I did not test it) but it looks like you are giving the name of the point an integer and not a string. Change the one line to this:

kml.newpoint(name=str(points[k]), coords=[(longitude[k],latitude[k]))

Notice the addition of str.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Kyle

Thanks

This "count" error happens when something is wrong with the name which can't be blank (as one example of an error).

It is a pleasure.
