用python爬github上星级排名前列的项目报错AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

代码：

import requests
import pygal
from pygal.style import LightenStyle as ls,LightColorizedStyle as lcs
#执行api调用并存储相应
url = 'https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:python&sort=stars'
r = requests.get(url)
print(r.status_code)
#响应存储在变量中
response_dic = r.json()
#print(response_dic.keys())
print("total:"+str(response_dic["total_count"]))
 
#respon_dic :所有仓库，是一个列表，有很多字典
respon_dics = response_dic["items"]
print("dics:"+str(len(respon_dics)))
"""找出第一个字典
respon_dic = respon_dics[0]
print("\nkeys:"+str(len(respon_dic)))
for key in sorted(respon_dic.keys()):
    print(key)"""
 
names,plot_dicts = [],[]
for respon_dic in respon_dics:
    names.append(respon_dic['name'])
    plot_dict = {
        'value':respon_dic['stargazers_count'],
        'label':respon_dic['description']
        }
    plot_dicts.append(plot_dict)
    #plot_dicts.append(respon_dic['stargazers_count'])
#可视化
my_style= ls('#333366',base_style = lcs)
 
my_config = pygal.Config()
my_config.x_label_rotation = 45
my_config.show_legend = False
my_config.title_font_size = 24
my_config.label_font_size = 14
my_config.major_label_font_size = 18
my_config.truncate_label = 15
my_config.show_y_guides = False
my_config.width = 1000
 
chart = pygal.Bar(my_config,style = my_style)
chart.title = "most stared python projects on github"
chart.x_labels= names
 
chart.add('',plot_dicts)
chart.render_to_file("python_respon.svg")

报错：

仔细校对和书上的对比过都打的一样了，还是报错。。

最后看到关键3行：

metadata['label'])

return string.decode('utf-8')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

”空类型“对象没有属性“decode”

应该是label属性 期望是个字符串？

for respon_dic in respon_dics:
    names.append(respon_dic['name'])
    plot_dict = {
        'value':respon_dic['stargazers_count'],
        'label':respon_dic['description']
        }
    plot_dicts.append(plot_dict)
    #plot_dicts.append(respon_dic['stargazers_count'])
里面'label':respon_dic['description']改为'label':str(respon_dic['description'])

搞定。

效果：
