I have this:
import sys, struct, random, subprocess, math, os, time
from m_todo import ToDo
(rest)
Which results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "6.py", line 2, in <module>
from m_todo import ToDo
ImportError: cannot import name ToDo
My m_todo module:
import os
class ToDO:
'''todo list manager'''
def __init__(self):
pass
def process(self):
'''get todo file ready for edition'''
print(os.path.exists('w_todo.txt'),'\t\t\tEDIT THIS')
I read some similar questions, which suggested something about circular references, but it is not the case.
I also saw a suggestion about using relative imports, but trying that resulted in another error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "6.py", line 2, in <module>
from .m_todo import ToDo
SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import
This is like the third time I use Python, so it might be a silly mistake, but it's causing me some confusion since I'm importing other modules in the same way without any issues.
So... what's going on here?
Your class is called ToDO (note the capitalisation), not ToDo.
Either fix your import:
from m_todo import ToDO
or the classname:
class ToDo:

I'm using this code.
from azlyrics import artists
print(artists("O"))
In the module named 'azlyrics' the function 'artists' is well defined. But I get this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\python\eminem\New folder\azlyrics-master\examples\get_artists.py", line 1, in <module>
from azlyrics import artists
ImportError: cannot import name 'artists' from 'azlyrics' (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\azlyrics\__init__.py)
What could be the problem?
There must be a bug in the azlyrics documentation or packaging.
This works:
>>> from azlyrics.azlyrics import artists
>>> artists("O")
'["Oakenfold, Paul", "Oakes, Ryan", "Oak Ridge Boys,
The", "Oak, Winona", "O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)", "Oasis", "Obel, Agnes", "Oberst, ...]'
There is a mistake in azlyrics v1.3.2, relative import should be used in azlyrics/__init__.py:
instead of:
from azlyrics import *
we should have:
from .azlyrics import *
This is fixed but a release is not done.
contents of io.py
class IO:
def __init__(self):
self.ParsingFile = '../list'
def Parser(self):
f = open(ParsingFile, 'r')
print(f.read())
contents of main.py
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "lib/")
try:

except Exception:
print("Could not import one or more libraries.")
exit(1)
print("Libraries imported")

When I run python3 main.py I get the following error:
Libraries imported
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 11, in <module>
_io_ = io.IO()
AttributeError: module 'io' has no attribute 'IO'
Any idea what's going wrong?
My file was called io. It seems that there already exists a package called io which caused the confusion.
Your package name (io) conflicts with the Python library's package with the same name, so you actually import a system package.
You can check this by printing io.__all__.
Changing io.py to something else is probably the best way to go to avoid similar problems. Otherwise, you can use an absolute path.
try
from io import IO
That worked for me when trying to import classes from another file

Python module import - why are components only available when explicitly imported?
I'm new to python and now learning how to to import a module or a function, but I got these posted errors. The python code is saved under the name: hello_module.py
python code:
def hello_func():
print ("Hello, World!")
hello_func()
import hello_module
hello_module.hello_func()
error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python33/hello_module.py", line 9, in <module>
import hello_module
File "C:/Python33\hello_module.py", line 10, in <module>
hello_module.hello_func()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'hello_func'
You cannot and should not import your own module. You defined hello_func in the current namespace, just use that directly.
You can put the function in a separate file, then import that:
File foo.py:
def def hello_func():
print ("Hello, World!")
File bar.py:
import foo
foo.hello_func()
and run bar.py as a script.
If you try to import your own module, it'll import itself again, and when you do that you import an incomplete module. It won't have it's attributes set yet, so hello_module.hello_func doesn't yet exist, and that breaks.
I've got a class that I'm trying to write called dbObject and I'm trying to import it from a script in a different folder. My structure is as follows:
/var/www/html/py/testobj.py
/var/www/html/py/obj/dbObject.py
/var/www/html/py/obj/__init__.py
Now, __init__.py is an empty file. Here are the contents of dbObject.py:
class dbObject:
def __init__():
print "Constructor?"
def test():
print "Testing"
And here's the contents of testobj.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.append("/var/www/html/py")
import obj.dbObject
db = dbObject()
When I run this, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testobj.py", line 7, in <module>
db = dbObject()
NameError: name 'dbObject' is not defined
I'm new to Python, so I'm very confused as to what I'm doing wrong. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
EDIT: Thanks to Martijn Pieters' answer I modified my testobj.py as follows:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.append("/var/www/html/py")
sys.path.append("/var/www/html/py/dev")
from obj.dbObject import dbObject
db = dbObject()
However, now when I run it I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testobj.py", line 7, in <module>
db = dbObject()
TypeError: __init__() takes no arguments (1 given)
Is this referring to my init.py or the constructor within dbObject?
EDIT(2): Solved that one myself, the constructor must be able to take at least one parameter - a reference to itself. Simple fix. Looks like this problem is solved!
EDIT (Final): This is nice - I can cut out the import sys and sys.path.append lines and it still works in this instance. Lovely.
You need to import the class from the module:
from obj.dbObject import dbObject
This adds the class dbObject directly to your local namespace.
Your statement import obj.dbObject adds the name obj to the local namespace, so you could also do this instead:
db = obj.dbObject.dbObject()
because obj.dbObject is the dbObject.py module in your obj package directory.
I'm trying to learn Python's SAX module from O'Reilly's Python and XML. I'm trying to run the following sample code, but I keep getting an error and I can't figure out why.
The first file is handlers.py:
class ArticleHandler(ContentHandler):
"""
A handler to deal with articles in XML
"""
def startElement(self, name, attrs):
print "Start element:", name
The second file is art.py, which imports the first file:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# art.py
import sys
from xml.sax import make_parser
from handlers import ArticleHandler
ch = ArticleHandler( )
saxparser = make_parser( )
saxparser.setContentHandler(ch)
saxparser.parse(sys.stdin)
When I try to run art.py, I get the following:
% python art.py < article.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "art.py", line 7, in <module>
from handlers import ArticleHandler
File "~/handlers.py", line 1, in <module>
class ArticleHandler(ContentHandler):
NameError: name 'ContentHandler' is not defined
I'm probably missing something obvious. Can anybody help?
Thanks!
You have to import ContentHandler in handlers.py as follows:
from xml.sax.handler import ContentHandler
This should do it.
