Python 2.7 Error

Asked by ian@iwjohnston.com

Referring to section 2.3 of the nfcpy documentation, (Read and Write Tags), Using the example shown, I keep getting the error as shown below. Not sure if it is my knowledge of Python of some other issue:

>>> import nfc
>>> def connected(tag): print(tag); return False
...
>>> clf = nfc.ContactlessFrontend('usb')
>>> clf.connect(rdwr={'on-connect': connected})
Type3Tag 'FeliCa Lite-S (RC-S966)' ID=012E34E829CE1E71 PMM=00F1000000014300 SYS=88B4
<nfc.tag.tt3_sony.FelicaLiteS object at 0x765d9310>
>>> print(tag.ndef.message.pretty() if tag.ndef else "Sorry")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'tag' is not defined
>>>

Regards,
Ian

This is a documentation error. The captured card must be assigned to the "tag" variable for further example code to work. If you reload the documentation page (be careful of browser cache) it should now read as:

tag = clf.connect(rdwr={'on-connect': connected})

I am having a similar issue with the same part of the documentation, although my error reads:

AttributeError: 'NDEF' object has no attribute 'Message'

Any suggestions?

My code:

def connected(tag):
    freq = 2500
    dur = 500
    winsound.Beep(freq,dur)
    ndefData = tag.ndef.Message.pretty() if nfc.ndef else 'No NDEF'
    print (ndefData)

rdwrOptions = {'on-connect':connected}
clf = nfc.ContactlessFrontend('usb')
clf.connect(rdwr=rdwrOptions)

Hello Stephen,

This fixed the issue. I was sure it was a doco issue but not sure what.

Thx again,
Ian

Hello,

I’m no expert on this stuff, but you may need to change “Message” to “message” in the code. All the refs in the nfc module are to “message"
