update_by_field error

[public-safety-lab]

I am logging my s3 bucket activity with Airtable and AWS Lambda.

I used the following import:

from airtable.airtable import Airtable

[ERROR] AttributeError: 'Airtable' object has no attribute 'update_by_field'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/task/function.py", line 31, in lambda_handler
airtable.update_by_field('field1 field2')

Not sure what should I do next

You rpbable have a name Clash between the module airtable and a variable with the same name.

Try this:

from airtable import Airtable
table = Airtable(args) 
table.update_by_field(args)

Hi, I have the same issue with get_iter, I'm also using Lambda x airtable.

It would seem there is a conflict between airtable and airtable-python-wrapper but I don't know how to solve it.

error log:

  "errorMessage": "'Airtable' object has no attribute 'get_iter'",
  "errorType": "AttributeError",

In my lambda_function.py:

from airtable import Airtable 
...
table_output = Airtable(base_key, output_table_name, apikey)
output_pages = table_output.get_iter(view='Grid view')
...
table_output.insert({'abc':x.y})

In my root folder of my lambda:

airtable
airtable-0.4.8.dist-info
...
lambda_function.py
...
requirements.txt

In my requirements.txt:

airtable-python-wrapper
airtable

Note: with lambda, dependencies need to be uploaded in the same .zip as the main function for the app to run with its dependencies.

Thank you for your help
