Error in self.__source_file in reader.py

[ayrtondenner]

Hello. I'm trying to run NERCRF.py, and when it hits the instruction self.__source_file = open(file_path, 'r') in the method __init__ (line 104), it runs without problems, but the variable self.__source_file is shown as "not defined", throwing an error in the instruction self.__source_file.close() in method close(self) (line 112). It should work, but somehow this source file variable is not being defined to be used after that. Also, the path is correct, I've already checked that.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi,

Actually, I did not see any errors in the code. I am not sure how you used the reader or maybe it is an issue of python environment?

Hi, thanks for the fast response.

So, in conll03_data,py, method read_data (line 150), the code will first instantiate CoNLL03Reader, where will define the variable self.__source_file as the file its opening, but whenever after that I try to use this variable, I get the error shown above (AttributeError: 'CoNLL03Reader' object has no attribute '__source_file').

Don't know if it is an issue in my python environment, because I could any other script or any other instructions in your project without any problems. My Python version is 3.6.5 by the way.

I use Python 2.7 and don't have any problem on running the code, and the code CoNLL03Reader looks good for me.
