can import numpy module but cannot use functionalities - python

i had succesfully installed numpy (numpy-1.6.2-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe). But, whenever i try to call any functions i am getting following the error below. Thanks in advance for help.
import numpy as np
if __name__ == "__main__":
k = np.arange(10)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'arange'

Echoing one of the comments above (as I just had this problem, over 4 years later):
You probably named your file numpy.py. When trying to load a module, I believe the path checks the current directory first, and thus it isn't found.
For sanity, to check that it really is this issue, you should run the Python REPL (python) and type:
import numpy as np, followed by dir(np)
And you should see all of the actual functions as output.

This might also happen because you probably named your program file numpy.py (i made the same mistake)

try the following:
for x in dir(np):
print x
this should list all methods etc of your import, that way you can see if arange() is available.
you could also try
from numpy import *
and then just try:
print arange(10)
Can't think of much else. Odd that the import does not produce an error if arange is not there.

What's the Pythonic way of supporting constants across modules in one project as well as across projects? [duplicate]

This seems pretty basic, so I must be missing something obvious. Goal is to import a module from the same directory. I've broken it down about as simple as I can and I'm getting the nameerror.
file import_this.py:
def my_function(number) :
print number + 2
file import_test.py:
import import_this
my_function(2)
Do I have to specify the directory the import file is in? (It's in the same as the test file). Also, can I test to see what modules are imported?
You are accessing the function incorrectly.
Either use the following
import import_this
import_this.my_function(2)
or do,
from import_this import my_function
my_function(2)
Alternatively (apart from #mu's answer above),
>>>import import_this as it
.. and then,
>>> it.my_function(2)

python calling function from another file while using import from the main file

I'm trying to use multiple files in my programing and I ran into a problem.
I have two files: main.py, nu.py
The main file is:
import numpy
import nu
def numarray():
numpy.array(some code goes here)
nu.createarray()
The nu file is:
def createarray():
numpy.array(some code goes here)
When I run main I get an error:
File "D:\python\nu.py", line 2, in createarray
numpy.array(some code goes here)
NameError: name 'numpy' is not defined
numpy is just an exaple, I'm using about six imports.
As far as I see it, I have to import all moduls on all files, but it creating a problem where certain modules can't be loaded twice, it just hang.
What I'm doing wrong and how can I properly import functions from another file while using imported modules from the main file?
I hope i explain it well.
thanks for helping!
I have years in python and importing from other files is still a headache..
The problmen here is that you are not importing numpy in "nu.py".
But as you say sometimes it's a little annoying have to import al libraries in all files.
The last thing is, How do you get the error a module cannot be imported twice? can you give me an example?
In each separate python script if you are using a module within you need to import it to access. So you will need to 'import numpy' in your nu.py script like below
If possible try keeping the use of a module within a script so you dont have import the same multiple times, although this wont always be appropriate

VS Not Recognizing Built-in Moduels

I am experimenting with importing different modules but have run into an issue with VS. Previously I would get unresolved import error when using files in the same dir. Even with these errors my program would still run. But now when using built in Python modules with VS I now get NameError. I have searched for a while and can't seem to figure out my exact issue because it seemingly should be very simple to fix. All of the import errors or NameError's I have read about are with much more complicated code.
from random import shuffle
my_list = [1,2,3,4,5]
random.shuffle(my_list)
print(my_list)
Any idea's on why VS is not importing modules correctly? The issue is specifically with line 4 because "random" is not defined as the error states. I am using windows 10 with the latest versions of both Python and VS.
Any help is appreciated!
In line 1 you are saying
from random import shuffle
so you are importing function shuffle() and to use it you need to call it like:
shuffle(my_list)
print(my_list)
For calling the function like:
random.shuffle(my_list)
you need to import the whole package
import random
Also I might add, you can from random import *. That will import everything from random library, but it's not as clean.

Jupyter Import Module AND use function. How can I do that?

I need to import a function classify(par1, par2, par3)
from a module called _Y03_Labeling. Importing does work, but using its functions with more than one extra parameter doesnt work.
Question : How can I import functions with more than one Parameter?
.
What I already tried ( Without Success):
I successfully can run the whole notebook2 from notebook1 with the following code:
import _Y03_Labeling
Labeling =_Y03_Labeling
(Why I know if it is successful? Because its comments are printed out). Whenever I try to run:
X,y = classify(a,b,c)
I get the following error: "TypeError: 'module' object is not callable"
I tried many variations from the import line, including:
import _Y03_Labeling
Labeling =_Y03_Labeling
X,y = Labeling.classify(a,b,c)
# or:
from _Y03_Labeling import classify
# or:
import _Y03_Labeling
X,y = _Y03_Labeling .classify(a,b,c)
Sadly none of them worked for me.
Things i also did so far:
shutting down the _Y03_Labeling notebook before I run the main Notebook
putting the function in the second notebook into a class, importing the class from the notebook and calling the function. (works only if function needs 1 parameter)
also i didnt forgot "self" i the function declaration with the class try.
I am glad, this forum exists and thankful for every possible help.

Finding function declarations in Ubuntu on Python

I have a vaguely defined function of a class Graph of a module I call gt (it is graph-tool). so i declare g = gt.graph() then want to use g.degree_property_map but do not know how. Therefore I want to see where in code g.degree_property_map or in this case just the function, is defined. How can I find that? I'm working on command line on a vm.
Thanks
For reference the library in question is graph-tool - http://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/
Also I am currently importing it using from graph_tool.all import * . that is of course somewhat of a problem.
You could use inspect.getsource(gt.Graph.degree_property_map). (You have to import inspect.)
Of course, what you pass into getsource() will change depending on how you imported Graph. So if you used from graphtools.all import *, you'd just need to use inspect.getsource(Graph.degree_property_map).
If you open interactive python (type python and hit ENTER on the command line), you should be able to run the command help(<graph's module name>), then, under the FILE section of the help documentation that is generated, you should see the absolute path to the code you are interested in.
For example, I just ran:
import numpy
help(numpy)
# Returned documentation containing:
# FILE
# /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py
Also,
import my_module # A module I just created that contains the "Line" class
help(my_module)
# Returned documentation containing:
# FILE
# /home/<my user name>/Programming/Python/my_module.py
If it is a normal function (not a builtin, ufunc, etc) you can try using the func_code attribute
For example:
>>> inspect.iscode
<function iscode at 0x02EAEF30>
>>> inspect.iscode.func_code
<code object iscode at 02EB2B60, file "C:\Python27\lib\inspect.py", line 209>
Never mind I just did help(graph_tool) and manually jumped through code. Thanks for the help though!
