TypeError

[melissasunnivahill]

I've been attempting to run analyses from the textcomplexity library but keep getting the following error:

TypeError: UdToken.__new__() missing 9 required positional arguments: 'form', 'lemma', 'upos', 'xpos', 'feats', 'head', 'deprel', 'deps', and 'misc'

Here's a deeper look at what's happening: !txtcomplexity -i conllu 'output.conllu'

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/txtcomplexity", line 12, in textcomplexity.cli.main() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/textcomplexity/cli.py", line 194, in main sentences, graphs = zip(conllu.read_conllu_sentences(f, ignore_case=args.ignore_case)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/textcomplexity/utils/conllu.py", line 16, in read_conllu_sentences for sentence, sent_id in _read_conllu(f, ignore_case): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/textcomplexity/utils/conllu.py", line 66, in _read_conllu sentence.append(UdToken(fields))

TypeError: UdToken.__new__() missing 9 required positional arguments: 'form', 'lemma', 'upos', 'xpos', 'feats', 'head', 'deprel', 'deps', and 'misc'

Is this related to an error in my conllu file or how I'm using the textcomplexity library? Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Could you share the first few couple of lines from your input file?

[melissasunnivahill]

Sure! Here is what the first few lines of my conllu file looks like:

1 # # X XX 2 dep 2 Mixtures mixture VERB VBZ 2 ROOT 3

SPACE   _SP _   2   dep _   _

I don’t know if GitHub messed with the formatting, but it seems like the third token is a newline character? The txtcomplexity tool assumes that token information is on a single line, i.e. it cannot deal with tokens that contain literal newline characters and therefore span multiple lines. Out of curiosity: Do you happen to know how that file was created?

That makes sense, thanks! And my PhD advisor wrote a python program to convert txt files to conllu format; happy to add the code if you're interested in looking at it :)
