I am facing a strange error while executing a python code. The following code is a small snippet of the python code I am executing:
#samplecode.py
import time
from datetime import datetime
import sys
import os
import inspect
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname('C:\Users\qksr\Desktop\work\kako\logging.py'))
import logging
from logging import Dynamic
While executing samplecode.py I am facing an error showing the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\qksr\Desktop\work\Fire\samplecode6.py", line 8, in <module>
from logging import Dynamic
ImportError: cannot import name Dynamic
My logging.py which contains the code that needs to be imported while execution. The following is the code:
class Dynamic(object):
pfile3=open('C:\Users\qksr\Desktop\work\sample3.txt','w')
we can see that the class Dynamic is created yet the import error is thrown.
The strangest thing is I did few examples of importing files and it worked well. I have tried hard but still cannot figure it out. I would like to know why this error was thrown and why suddenly for this and not in previous samples?
Python already has a built-in logging module, which is being located before yours (you're appending your folder to the end of the path).
Rename your logging.py file to something else.

I want to import a color module but I am getting the error:
ImportError: No module named 'scripts.UltraColor'
Import code:
from scripts.UltraColor import *
The import code is in pygameTest.py
The problem here, as far as I can see on that screenshot is UltraColor file doesn't have the .py extension, for import to work properly you'll need to rename it from UltraColor to UltraColor.py, otherwise will raise an ImportError exception.
For more information, take a look to this one. Import a python module without the .py extension
I am trying to import Pybedtools in Spyder.
from pybedtools import BedTool
This is the error I am getting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-13-7a8ea5d1dea8>", line 1, in <module>
from pybedtools import BedTool
File "/Users/michaelsmith/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybedtools/__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
from . import scripts
ImportError: cannot import name scripts
I just downloaded Anaconda and there doesn't seem to be a reason as to why this happens. What is the typical protocol for resolving bugs like this?
UPDATE:
So within my pybedtools folder there is a scripts folder (which is presumably the module we're trying to import). I changed both the command within __init__.py to:
from . import scripts2
and changed the name of the folder to scripts2 as well. However, I still get the error as such:
ImportError: cannot import name scripts2
So I must be doing something wrong here, which module should I be renaming exactly? Sorry if this is a silly question, I am quite new to python.
This is caused because Anaconda has a module named scripts and therefore your import is "shadowed" by that module. You can double check that when you call import scripts in a new notebook it works even if you have never defined such a module. A very good explanation of import traps can be found here:
http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python_concepts/import_traps.html
A workaround would be to rename the script module of pybedtools to something else and also change all the imports to the new name.
I'm trying to import module from local path in Python2.7.10 Shell on Windows
I add local path to sys.path by:
import sys
sys.path.append('C:\download')
next I try to import by:
from download.program01 import *
but I've got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
from download.program01 import *
ImportError: No module named download.program01
On Linux this code works fine.
Does someone know what is wrong?
If download is in your pythonpath, then you should import program01 directly.
Also, please don't import *; it makes things very hard to debug. Just do import program01.
put a file __init__.py in your download folder so that python knows it is a module and do sys.path.append('C:') instead.
If you want to keep just using path and not create a module file (the __init___.py) then just keep your code like that but import doing
import program01
I'm seeing weird behavior that I don't understand, so I'm turning to the experts here on SO for help. I have looked at similar questions, without finding anything that looked helpful.
I'm writing a program that imports two custom modules.
If I run the main program using the cli "./ld_config_automation.py" I get the following error:
laptop$ ./ld_config_automation.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ld_config_automation.py", line 34, in <module>
from modules.networkcomponent import NetworkComponent
File "/path/to/pprograms/ssh_telnet_automation/modules/networkcomponent.py", line 7, in <module>
import pexpect
ImportError: No module named pexpect
However, if I run the main program using the cli "python ld_config_automation.py" everything works fine and the program runs.
My main program uses the following import statements.
import sys
import getopt
from modules.networkcomponent import NetworkComponent
from modules.recordclass import Record
The module I'm having trouble with "NetworkComponent" uses the following import statements:
import re
import pexpect
Also, if I remove import pexpect from the NetworkComponent module it works as expected without python in front (up to when it has to use pexpect. of course). So it doesn't seem to be a problem with importing modules, as re works ok, just not pexpect.
I'm developing this on mac os X but will implement on CentOS.
I have created my first python module on ubuntu. When I'm trying to import the module in python using :
import brian
it is giving error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named brian
I have brian in /home/noamaan and python is in /usr/bin.
If you launch python from the directory that contains brian module, everything will work as it is now.
To import custom module from anywhere you want you should read attentively something on the import mechanism in python to learn where the imported modules are searched for, etc.
But to make your code work right now, I can recommend you the following:
Either extend your PYTHONPATH variable before running python, to include the directory of your module
Or append it right in the code by using sys module in this way.
import sys
sys.path.append("path/to/module/dir")
import brian
Also, see info on site module
by default Python import modules from Python path var.
You can view these paths so:
import sys
print sys.path
