I'm writing a script to create a cubical object out of several joined planes. After joining the meshes into one object (shadow_catcher), I need to set its origin to center of mass, so I call the following commands:

enter image description here

bpy.ops.object = bpy.data.objects["shadow_catcher"]
bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_CENTER_OF_MASS', center='MEDIAN')

However, I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'Object' object has no attribute 'origin_set'

Strangely, this operation does work using the GUI. I have been searching for a solution for hours but alas no luck.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In your first line, you need set the active object, not bpy.ops.object. You also need to select the object.

bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = bpy.data.objects["shadow_catcher"]
bpy.data.objects["shadow_catcher"].select_set(True)
bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_CENTER_OF_MASS', center='MEDIAN')
