Genderize

✓ from genderize import Genderize

✗ import genderize

Genderize is a class, not a module. Importing it directly gives you the module object, not the class.

Initialize with an optional API key and get gender predictions for one or more names.

from genderize import Genderize api_key = os.environ.get('GENDERIZE_API_KEY', '') genderize = Genderize(api_key=api_key) result = genderize.get(['James', 'Eva']) print(result)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library expects an API key set as an environment variable or passed as a parameter. Without it, the free tier rate limit (1000 names/day) applies.

fix

Set the GENDERIZE_API_KEY environment variable or pass it to the constructor as `api_key='your_key'`.

affects: >=0.3.1

gotchaThe `get` method only accepts a list of names. Passing a single string will cause an error.

fix

Always wrap a single name in a list: `genderize.get(['John'])`.

affects: >=0.3.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Trying to call `genderize.Genderize()` after `import genderize` incorrectly.

fix

Use `from genderize import Genderize` and then `Genderize()`.

AttributeError: module 'genderize' has no attribute 'Genderize'

Assuming the library is imported differently; common when using `import genderize` and then `genderize.Genderize`. Actually the class is directly importable.

fix

Use `from genderize import Genderize`.
