I'm trying to follow the tutorial at https://www.juliensobczak.com/tell/2016/12/26/anki-scripting.html
And I'm getting the "listcards.py" basic script set up, having cloned anki and installed the virtual environment as well as the requirements from the anki/requirements.txt file.
However, when I run the script from the tutorial entitled "listcards.py", I get a notice that the module 'anki.sched' is not found. ("ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anki.sched')
While I could pip install each package, I have a feeling that there must be an underlying reason that these packages are missing- is there a way to have python automatically pull in the named module even if it isn't pre-installed in the manner of how node.js installed referenced dependencies automatically, so that I won't have to manually install every missing package?
I ran into this same problem. anki.sched is a package contained within the anki repository you cloned, so it does exist on your machine. You won't be able to install it using pip.
The solution for me was to write the absolute path of the anki repository you cloned in sys.path.append rather than a relative path. For example, if your script exists in /Users/anki/scripts and your cloned anki repository exists in /Users/anki/anki write this in your script before importing anki modules:
sys.path.append("/Users/anki/anki")
rather than this (which is what is provided in the tutorial):
sys.path.append("../anki")
I'm not 100% sure why the latter fails, but Anki must be looking for the anki.sched module in the wrong place due to the relative reference.
What I did, and I know this is probably not the correct way, is to simply wipe out the root anki folder and copy all the application scripts to it, then the imports worked.

I'm a beginner in Python and I have no experience with GitHub at all. I want to import the module semsimlib from the following URL: https://github.com/timvdc/semsimlib
I have looked on the internet for help on how to do this but most of it is very unclear and doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone provide a detailed explanation on how to do this in a easy way?
It looks the repo does not provide appropriate scripts to simply install the package. There is no setup.py file and there is no distribution on pypi.
What you can do is go to site-packages folder inside your python installation or inside your virtual environment. Then run git clone https://github.com/timvdc/semsimlib. You should now be able to import semsimlib. Keep in mind that you will also have to install all the other dependencies your self one by one since there is also no requirements file.
You can also clone the repo into any folder on your computer and at the top of your script put:
import sys
sys.path.append("path/to/semsimlib/folder")
semsimlib will now be importable. However, I would try to get it to work with the first method.
So long story short. I want to use requests and bs4 modules in my code. I installed them using pip install requests, pip install bs4. I double checked everything, even found installation folder and saw that the files is here, but my vs code is not detecting it and giving a error. I'm a quite new to this programming language so possibly it's a common issue. But i searched and mostly found posts about this problems on diffrent versions of linux, not windows.
Error i'm getting in vscode btw
Import "requests" could not be resolved from source
And when i'm launching the program through cmd the error is
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
First, you should add more information for us to know how your computer and IDE are configured. The first thing you should do is to check that VS Code is using the Python version where you have pip installed the modules. That is, clicking at the bottom-left space as in the picture below. Then checking that the modules are within that path.
Otherwise, check out virtualenv. With this tool you can create virtual environments within your project's folder and makes it easier to manage packages.
X in this example represents any module or package you install.
The problem:
I have a problem with a package called 'X'.
In PyCharm I get an error ImportError: No module named 'X'.
My code runs from the terminal without any problem. Any help ?
or
I installed X on python3.4 with pip. In terminal, when I import X, everything is fine, but when I import it in PyCharm, it says: ImportError: No module named 'X'". Any help ?
This is basically everyday question, just with different module or a package instead name instead of X.
And it's not problem in a package or module you install, it's in a PyCharm Project Interpreter you are currently using for your project.
The following answer is usually solution to this specific problem.
SHORTER VERSION:
If you have squiggly line below module you import...
...move on name of module and press Alt+Enter and select Install package X.
This should (probably !!!) install module you thought you installed, but got ImportError.
LONGER:
If you want to use module X:
Go to File -> Settings -> Project:NameOfProject -> Project Interpreter.
The window that opens has some specific regions:
This is a project interpreter PyCharm is currently using. You can change you python environments here also. If you want to add virtual environment you created manually, continue reading.
A little "cog" or a "gear" is used to Add, Edit or Remove environments. If you want to add virtual environment you created manually, select Add... when gear icon is clicked, and make sure to set proper path to python.exeof your virtual environment.
IMPORTANT: A list of all installed packages, represented by: Package name and Version. If you tried to use package, but got ImportError no module named 'X', make sure to check if package is listed here!!!. If not, it's not installed in the current python environment and it should be installed (continue reading).
A little + represents Install. It can be used to install packages. Simply click on + sign, search for a package and click Install Package at the bottom after you found it. You can also specify the version you want of a package. In example below, we searched for flask package.
A package should be installed and listed now in installed packages.
PyCharm creates a virtual environment with its own Python Interpreter for your project, you need to install the module for the interpreter you are using. To do this go to Settings -> Project: yourProjectName -> Python Interpreter, click the plus icon and select the module you would like to install.
Alternatively you could force PyCharm to use your other Interpreter by selecting it from the dropdown at the top of the Python Interpreter settings page I mentioned before.
There are many reasons for this.
The reason and fix I'm going to put here is extremely rare, just decided to put it hoping at least a single person can get help from this answer.
The issue
PyCharm treats __init__.py as a non python file.
This happens when you forgot to use .py extension in your code's __init__.py files, and then you add the extension later. Then pycharm starts treating all __init__.py files (even external library files) as non python. How strange?
Detect if the issue is this
Scroll click on the library name (not the module name).
Or right click and goto Declaration or Usages
You will see the library's __init__.py as plain text.
If you see the code as plain text, that's the issue!
The Solution
Find the file location in pycharm navigation. If you are using virtual environment, the file fill be in venv/lib/site-packages/{library_name}.
Right click on __init__.py, click override file type. Select python.
You'll see the error is gone!
I do research at my school by sshing into one of the machines in our lab. I do not have root access to these machines, so when I need to install new Python modules I typically build them in a local directory and modify my PYTHONPATH to point to this directory, rather than installing them to the standard directories (which I don't have permissions to). This has worked fine for several packages in the past, but with Numpy running
python setup.py install
seems to work, but there is no __config__.py file in the built directory. (The one it's supposed to import the module from) This causes the line in __init__.py
from numpy.__config__ import show as show_config
to raise an ImportError. I can't figure out why __config__.py isn't being generated as Numpy seems to assume that it will be. Running the build script seems to work; it completes with no troubling error messages. I've looked but can't find any answers to this. Please help.
I am using Python 2.6.2.
Well, I got numpy working by setting PYTHONPATH to point to the build/libXXX folder, but I was doing so to install scipy, which still demands some files as dependencies that don't exist in the either build directory I was trying. But that's another issue.
Recently I found about this tool easy_install that help me to easy install additional python modules. The problem is that for each module it creates additional *.egg folder (sometime there is only an egg file?) (no source?) and I don't know how to setup eclipse paths.
By default I have included C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages and this is enough when I install python modules from source... but not when I'm using easy_intall
For example django instaled with easy_install is located in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django-1.2.5-py2.6.egg\django and installed from source it's located in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django
In fact when I'm using easy_install all installed modules are working without a problem, the only problem is that eclipse can't locate where is the source and gives me a false unresolved import errors
Where I'm wrong?
I'm assuming that eclipse does not search the egg files for source. Eggs, like jar files in Java, are just zipfiles of python code with some included metadata.
You'll also note that in site-packages you've got easy-install.pth and setuptools.pth files. Those files are parsed by python and used to add other directories and egg files to your PYTHONPATH (import sys; sys.path) so that Python can find the code in those locations. Eclipse isn't seeing those imports as valid because it is most likely not setup to take pth files into account.
To get Eclipse to recognize that Django is really installed you may want to try removing your easy_installed django package and reinstalling it with:
easy_install --always-unzip django
That way rather than installing a compressed egg file you'll have a normal package directory that eclipse should have a fairly easy time opening.
Alternatively, in your screenshot above it looks like you may just need to explicitly add each egg file you want eclipse to use.
