BlockingError: No records have been blocked together. about dedupe HOT 10 CLOSED

what if you try lowering your threshold? (Assuming you do have a bunch of training data being used)

from dedupe.

also, i have found that 'dirty' data in the training data can cause the process to halt with that error..
could be records with special characters, nulls when you havent specified 'has missing'...

what if you try lowering your threshold? (Assuming you do have a bunch of training data being used)

I have tried everything including lowering the threshold and using clean data, nothing so far. However, i may have traced the error to this line of code: b_data = deduper.fingerprinter(full_data)

The other lines prior to that including full_data = ((row['donor_id'], row) for row in read_cur) are working as expected and i am able to print out and inspect them.
However b_data is a generator object and i am unable to find code that can print it out so i can inspect its content. I have tried converting it to a list and even using the Next function, any tips on how i can print it out to inspect its contents? Thank you

Okay, Thank you. One more question, when i print out full_data this is the output I get:
('r2FEdTZzbOM', ('r2FEdTZzbOM', 'country side', 'sarkodie feat. black sherif'))
('GgeTnpTkzI0', ('GgeTnpTkzI0', 'loaded', 'tiwa savage, asake'))
('aP-MBSrzFNo', ('aP-MBSrzFNo', "'letter from overseas'", 'larry gaaga & black sherif'))

This is the expected format right?
