Am I doing something wrong?

[parabolaguy]

So far it looks like a great tool for Edgar, but I can't get all the codes in tutorial to work. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm using Jupyterlab in Anaconda
conda version : 22.9.0
python version : 3.8.13.final.0
platform : win-64

When I run this snippet:

from edgar import *
set_identity("my email")
walmart = Company("0000104169")
wmt_filings = walmart.get_filings(form=['10-K'])
file_0 = wmt_filings[0]
attachments_0 = file_0.attachments[0]
attachments_0.view()

I got the following error:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [160], in <cell line: 7>()
5 file_0 = wmt_filings[0]
6 attachments_0 = file_0.attachments[0]
----> 7 attachments_0.view()

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pydantic\main.py:811, in BaseModel.getattr(self, item)
808 return super().getattribute(item) # Raises AttributeError if appropriate
809 else:
810 # this is the current error
--> 811 raise AttributeError(f'{type(self).name!r} object has no attribute {item!r}')

AttributeError: 'Attachment' object has no attribute 'view'

Thanks!

What version of edgartools is in your conda environment

!pip show edgartools

List the functions on the Attachment class

walmart = Company("0000104169")
wmt_filings = walmart.get_filings(form=['10-K'])
file_0 = wmt_filings[0]
attachments = file_0.attachments
attachment = attachments.get_by_index(0)
attachment.view()

methods = sorted([a for a in dir(attachment) if not a.startswith('_') and callable(getattr(attachment, a))])

What do you get for

methods = sorted([a for a in dir(attachment) if not a.startswith('_') and callable(getattr(attachment, a))])
print(methods)

[dgunning]

You have an older version of edgartools. Update and retry

pip install -U edgartools

[parabolaguy]

Somehow I still get 2.32.0 after running this command. Message says "Requirement already satisfied" for all the packages. Not sure where to look next.

I have the exact issue on wsl2 11/11/2025

I think I see that the latest version requires python 10 or higher.

[dgunning]

In an anaconda cell run

!pip install -U edgartools
!pip show edgartools

Then try again

Thanks Dwight. I think the issue is I am running python 3.8 and need to run python 3.10 or higher?
