I'm getting an "unresolved reference" error for imports, when the imports exist. What might cause this?
The details:
I'm developing in Pycharm, Python 3.5 32 bit virtual environment.
I'm getting import errors with the Quantopian Zipline library.
I've imported Zipline in Pycharm Project Interpreter.
I'm getting import errors using the example code in the Zipline library...
from zipline.api import order, record, symbol
What's going on here?
If you look at the stack frame, you see that it is structured as follows:
buyapple.py imports zipline
zipline imports logbook
logbook imports gevent
gevent fails to load
So the module is there, is found, but in the course of importing zipline, zipline itself imports another module, and that module imports yet another module, and that module fails.
Something is wrong with the gevent installation - to be more precise, the compiled binary is missing functions that the Python part of the module calls. One simple step you can do is try reinstalling it (via pip install -U gevent or equivalent) and see whether that works.

I'm tyring to import wolfamalpha into my code but it gives a error saying:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wolframalpha'
I tried installing it with pip install wolframalpha, but it still doesn't work.
Here is my code:
import wolframalpha
client = wolframalpha.Client('*************')
When you run your python file, are you sure that you are using the correct python interpreter that you performed the pip install wolframalpha to? It sounds like you may have multiple versions of python on your machine and there is a mismatch. If you are using VSCode, it is easy to see which interpreter is running on the bottom of the screen, which may help you debug the issue.
I’m in the process of writing unit tests for my software.
I wrote some helpers for my tests. For convenience I would like to use them in a jupyter notebook.
When I try to import them inside of the notebook though, I get an error.
from tests import helpers
->
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-12-d8ba72c24738> in <module>
----> 1 from tests.helpers import some_helper
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tests.helpers'
Digging a little, I found out that importing tests actually imports this folder as a module:
'/my_project_path/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/IPython/extensions/tests'
The folder contains test_autoreload.py and test_storemagic.py, which are tests for extensions I use.
Here’s my question, how do I properly manage this conflict? I would like to keep those extension installed, and I would like to keep the name tests for my folder, as it is the convention when working with pytest.
I installed those extensions with pip. Did I miss an option to ignore the tests when installing or something?
Thanks! :)
Not really a solution but some hints here in case they help you:
I was having the same issue today and getting a bit crazy. Not in jupyter but int the ipyton shell. As jupyter uses ipython I guess it will be the same issue.
IPython has a module called tests
within the IPython/extensions folder, and this folder is added is added to the search path when using ipython instead of python.
This are my paths from a python shell (using sys.path):
['',
'/usr/local/lib/python37.zip',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages']
And the ones from an ipython shell:
['/usr/local/bin',
'/usr/local/lib/python37.zip',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
'',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions',
'/home/dmontaner/.ipython']
So, if your are in iptyhon or in a notebook and you import tests or from tests import something, the interpreter will search in:
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions'
So far all is as expected. But I also had as you my own tests module in the same directory where my ipython session was running. What should happen then is that my own tests module should be imported first. But it was not and I had the same error as you.
If I would remove the 'IPython/extensions' from the path doing sys.path.remove(.../IPython/extensions') then I was able to import my own module.
I did uninstall ipyton and ipython_genutils and, using python -m pytest in the command line (on a .py file, not a notebook) I was still having a slightly similar issue this time about dash trying to load the IPython. The weird thing is that in my project I am not using dash but flask and dash is not a dependency of pytest anyway I think.
So, I uninstalled ipyton, ipython_genutils, dash and plotly and then I could run pytest importing from my own tests module.
I reinstalled the 4 libraries again and the problem was solved! And now I can import from my tests module even from within a jupyter notebook.
I guess the message is that there is some buggy setup or dependency among all those libraries (and may be some others). Try to reinstall latest versions or recreate your virtual environment in case it helps.
Sorry that I could not figure out what was the exact problem... but I hope this helps you.
The long-term fix for these kind of naming conflicts is to put all your code, including your test code, into a project package, such that you imports look like
import my_project.tests.helpers instead of import tests.helpers.
By choosing a unique name for your project, you define your own namespace and avoid naming conflicts.
I'm trying to set up a roguelike Python project, but I can't seem to be able to import libtcod module into my project. This helloworld crashes, and the IDE keeps telling me that there is no module named libtcodpy.
import libtcodpy
def main():
print('Hello World!')
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
What is the proper way to import modules into Python projects? I'm used to Java, so I was expecting something along the lines of Maven to manage the dependencies. There indeed seems to be something like that in PyCharm as well, this package manager for the venv, which from what I gather serves to isolate the project-specific stuff from the OS- or python-global stuff:
but libtcod simply isn't present in the rather exhaustive list of modules that appears after clicking on the "+" button, just some other module that has something to do with libtcod library (I guess?). Moreover, all the tutorials I found on setting libtcod up advise one to manually copy over files somewhere or run some command that I suppose does the importing somehow and other such solutions, all of which i tried and none of which worked. I don't want to pollute my project structure by using such hodgepodge ways of handling dependencies if I can at all avoid it.
Q: How do I get libtcod to work in my PyCharm project in the most clean and convention-abiding way possible?
Take a look at this github project called tcod: https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod/blob/master/README.rst#installation
It's a python port of libtcod.
To install using pip, use the following command:
python -m pip install tcod
If you get the error "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." when trying to import tcod/tdl then you may need the latest Microsoft Visual C runtime.

I have no idea why this is so frustrating, but I have literally pulled out a few clumps of hair in rage because this just refuses to work and I honestly do not have the slighest clue on what to do. I am trying to use the winshell module for a quick python programming I am using. I am new to python and just started trying it today. I have tried to install the library manually, and through pip. pip claims the module is downloaded, and I can see it in the lib folder. No matter what I do I get this error when I try to run my code:
import winshell
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'winshell'
what on earth must I do to get this to work I am at my wits end here and I feel like I'm going to break something
You have to install the library with:
pip install winshell
I just tested with pip3 install winshell and it worked.
Python interpreter search for modules in the set of directories that you can see with:
import sys
print(sys.path)
I recommend you take a look to see if the directory where you are seeing the library in lib is include in that list.

The default version of python (ie, one that opens on typing "python" in command line) is 2.6 on my server. I also have 2.7 installed. How do I import a module, in this case numpy, in python2.7? When I try to import right now, it gives me an error -
ImportError: No module named numpy
Is there any workaround, apart from downloading the package and doing a build install?
I agree with the comment above. You will have to compile it separately. I once tried a hack of importing and modifying the sys.path however I ran into issues with the .so files.
