I am trying to write an app that will receive image from my system and detcted the faces in the picture, when i upload image and try to process it, i have this error which is referencin streamlit imghdr.
as shown below

this is my code

Hi @ogahozy,

I believe you forgot to return the image variable from the image_face function. And since the function returns None, a call to st.image(None) will produce the above error.

We will try to improve st.image error messages.
Thanks for using Streamlit!

thanks

AttributeError means that there was an Error that had to do with an Attribute request. In general, when you write x.y, y is the purported attribute of x. NoneType means that instead of an instance of whatever Class or Object you think you’re working with, you’ve actually got None. That usually means that an assignment or function call up failed or returned an unexpected result.

mylist = mylist.sort()

The sort() method of a list sorts the list in-place, that is, mylist is modified. But the actual return value of the method is None and not the list sorted. So you’ve just assigned None to mylist. If you next try to do, say, mylist.append(1) Python will give you this error.
