the error message means that you're trying to assign to (or remove)
an attribute, but the target variable doesn't have any attributes, e.g:

    >>> a = None
    >>> a.foo = 10
    TypeError: attribute-less object (assign or del)
    >>> del a.foo
    TypeError: attribute-less object (assign or del)
