elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'endswith'

Please add a short script and explain the problem over why it's a bug in CPython and not a problem with the program. The error says path has a boolean value and doesn't have endswith which is a method on string object.

    _sys.exit(main(_sys.argv[:1] + flags_passthrough))
  File "main.py", line 132, in main
    bestmodel_dir = os.path.join(FLAGS.train_dir, "best_checkpoint")
  File "/home/maak/PycharmProjects/Fyp/venv/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 70, in join
    elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'endswith'

Please check the value of FLAGS.train_dir which I guess has a boolean value. This is not a bug with CPython.

Hi Karthikeyan,

I think we could close this issue, it's not related to CPython itself.

What do you think?

Closing it. OP can reopen if needed. Thanks.

FLAGS.train_dir has a boolean value which is checking true or false  
and i also have same issue import os
>>> os.path.join(True, 'best_checkpoint')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.14_3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 70, in join
    elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'endswith'

can you give me a solution or idea how to solve issue

Hi Maakvol,

Please remember that this is a bug tracker for bugs in the Python language and standard library, not a help desk.

As a beginner, 99.9% of the times you think that you have found a bug in Python, you haven't, it will be a bug in your own code. There are many forums where you can ask for help with your code, such as the tutor mailing list 

https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Stackoverflow, Reddit's /r/learnpython, and more. You should check with other, more experienced programmers before reporting things as bugs.

Thank you.
