[SOLVED] AttributeError: 'Kml' object has no attribute 'style'

AttributeError: 'Kml' object has no attribute 'style'

I am learning how to use simplekml and i am having a hard time adding a particular icon on a point.

this is my code:

import simplekml
points_kml = simplekml.Kml()
points_kml.newpoint(name="Kirstenbosch", coords=[(18.432314,-33.988862)])
points_kml.style.iconstyle.icon.href = 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/paddle/ltblu-circle.png'
points_kml.save("botanicalgarden.kml")

and this is what i receive in return:

  File c:\users\marcelo\downloads\untitled0.py:4
    points_kml.style.iconstyle.icon.href = 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/paddle/ltblu-circle.png'

AttributeError: 'Kml' object has no attribute 'style'

I double checked the documentation and the icon link but everything is exactly how it shows in the documentation...

I just wanted a kml file with a single point and a particular icon.

Solution

The error is telling you what you need to know. The Kml object has no style on it.

Looking at these docs you might be trying to reference a point? You're creating one but you never save it to anything. An example from those docs

pnt = kml.newpoint(name="Kirstenbosch", description="A botanical Garden",
                   coords=[(18.432314,-33.988862)])  # lon, lat optional height

Some code from those docs touching the style from a point

pnt.style.iconstyle.icon.href = None
