if (soup.find('p',attrs={'style':"font-size: 14px;color: red; margin-top: 11px;"}).text==''):
    #getStudentInfo()
    student_inform(soup)
else: return seatNumber

Answer 1

soup.find() can return None, and the NoneType object doesn't have a text attribute. You can get around this by splitting up soup.find(...).text into something like:

found = soup.find('p',attrs={'style':"font-size: 14px;color: red; margin-top: 11px;"})
if found:
    text = found.text
    # Check text

Here, if found is None, then the if statement isn't entered and no error will be thrown.
