For the problem “attributeerror: ‘list’ object has no attribute ‘replace’” I tried to fix it, but it doesn’t work and returns the result I want. Here is my program:

kickoff = tree.xpath('//*[@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()')
 kickoff = kickoff.replace("'", "")

and

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'

has occurred. I’ve checked the entire command line but still can’t find the mistake.

    The cause:

    kickoff = tree.xpath('// [@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()')
    

    This error happens because above code returns a list but not a string. List does not have the replace function.

    Solution:

    Putting str before it, you can change it into a string and the code will be handled.

    kickoff = str(tree.xpath('//*[@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()')) 
    kickoff = kickoff.replace("'", "")
    

    Or you also use this command:

    [i.replace("'", "") for i in kickoff ]

    xpath returns a list. You need to iterate the items.

    kickoff = [item.replace("'", "") for item in kickoff]
