im facing typical NameError (without any additional message) on command "cd" while importing other file.
E.g. executor.py
import sys
from java.lang import System
import ds_update
x = ds_update.DataSource()
x.someAction()
And ds_update.py
import sys
from java.lang import System
import sys
from java.lang import System
class DataSource:
def someAction(self):
try:
cd('/')
...
Got error: (if those commands are in one file, there is no problem with cd)
Problem invoking WLST - Traceback (innermost last):
File "...\executor.py", line 17, in ?
File "...\ds_update.py", line 11, in updateDS
NameError: cd
Thank you:-)
You're trying to use a function that isn't defined, namely cd(), according to your comments, it is something provided by WLST. I never used Jython nor WLST, but you have to find a way to import these methods in your script to be able to use them.
there are a few imports needed, namely at least:
import wl
the way to generate the wl module is described by Oracle here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/config_scripting/using_WLST.html#wp1094333
then you should prefix with "wl." all your "cd" and other WLST built-in commands.
you will find more here
http://www.javamonamour.org/2013/08/wlst-nameerror-cd.html
Even though it is old, I want to add this:
WLST uses a type of namespace. because of this, functions pertaining to wlst don't work if you put the to-be-imported-files not in /wlserver_10.3/common/wlst

For some reason, I had to change a module name from A.py to 0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e.py. 0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e.py is a uid generated by uuid.uuid1().
After my change, I try to import a class B from the py file by the following two ways, both do not work out.
First solution is to import directly
from 0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e import B
It has an error SyntaxError: invalid token
Second solution is to define a variable before import
uid = '0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e'
from uid import Model_API
And it has en error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uid'
Anyone has a good idea? Thanks.
Here is possible solution to your problem tested using python3:
# Modern approach
import importlib
module = importlib.import_module(".", "0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e")
module.hello()
# Deprecated way
module = __import__("0880ceae-8a46-11eb-bcf6-38f9d349be8e")
module.hello()
Both of the above methods are tested and works.
Here are the rules to keep in mind:
Check your filename should end with .py extension, .py.py will cause ModuleNotFoundError.
Make sure to not include .py extension while using in importlib module.
I want to get the .exe file from a code source but doing python main.py build results in this error:
C:\MyProject>python main.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
import parserz as parser
File "C:\MyProject\parserz.py", line 9
import * from modbus
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Any idea please?
Maybe a problem with pip?
In python you import like this
from modbus import *
Also, In python its good practice to import only what you need.
So you shouldn't use from .... import * instead use
from modbus import something
You can either import the module and run all normal code with
import modbus
or you can import all the classes, functions, variables, etc., from the file to use later in your code with
from modbus import *
To illustrate my point:
If you have two files my_imports.py and main.py that contain the following code:
my_imports.py:
print('Imported module my_imports')
def add_nums(a,b):
return a+b
def another_function():
return 'this function was also called'
(version 1) main.py:
import my_imports
# this code would fail because the function isn't imported
print(add_nums(5,7))
(version 2) main.py:
from my_imports import *
print(add_nums(5,7))
print(another_function())
In verion 1 of main.py you would see Imported module my_imports in the output but your code would fail when you try to use the
add_nums function defined in my_imports.py.
In version 2 of main.py you would still see Imported module my_imports in the output but you would also see the result of calling the other two functions in the output as they are now available for use in main.py:
12
this function was also called
As mentioned in some of the other answers, you can also just import the functionality you want from another python script. For example, if you only wanted to use the add_nums method, you could instead have
from my_imports import add_nums
in your main.py.
Generally from modbus import * should be enough. But it is generally not a good idea to import all so I recommend import modbus as mb. Also you might want to look into modbus libraries like pyModbus or minimalModbus. Here's a good link depicting their pros and cons: Python modbus library
I have a file called hotel_helper.py from which I want to import a function called demo1, but I am unable to import it.
My hotel_helper.py file:
def demo1():
print('\n\n trying to import this function ')
My other file:
from hotel.helpers.hotel_helper import demo1
demo1()
but I get:
ImportError: cannot import name 'demo1' from 'hotel.helpers.hotel_helper'
When I import using from hotel.helpers.hotel_helper import * instead of from hotel.helpers.hotel_helper import demo1 it works and the function gets called. I tried importing the whole file with from hotel.helpers import hotel_helper and then call the function with hotel_helper.demo1() and it works fine. I don't understand what's wrong in first method. I want to directly import function rather using * or importing the whole file.
If you filename is hotel_helper.py you have to options how to import demo1:
You can import the whole module hotel_helper as and then call your func:
import hotel_helper as hh
hh.demo1()
You can import only function demo1 from module as:
from hote_helpers import demo1
demo1()
From your fileName import your function
from hotel.helpers import demo1
demo1()
You can import a py file with the following statement:
# Other import
import os
import sys
if './hotel' not in sys.path:
sys.path.insert(0, './hotel')
from hotel import *
NOTE:
For IDE like PyCharm, you can specify the import path using the Project Structure setting tab (CTRL+ALT+S)

I created two files (defdemo.py and rundefdemo.py) from your posted 2 files and substituted 'defdemo' for 'hotel.helpers.hotel_helper' in the code. My 2 files are in my script directory for Python 3.7 on windows 10 and my script directory is in the python path file python37._pth. It worked.
defdemo.py
def demo1():
print('\n\n trying to import this function ')
rundefdemo.py
from defdemo import demo1
demo1()
output
trying to import this function
I was able to solve the issue, it was related to some imports I was making in my file, when I removed all the import statement in my hotel_helper.py ,the code started working as expected , Still I don't understand reason why the issue was occurring. anyway it works.
This ImportError can also arise when the function being imported is already defined somewhere else in the main script (i.e. calling script) or notebook, or when it is defined in a separate dependency (i.e. another module). This happens most often during development, when the developer forgets to comment out or delete the function definition in the body of a main file or nb after moving it to a module.
Make sure there are no other versions of the function in your development environment and dependencies.
I've been working on a project where I have a file which needs to call a function from a file in a sub package/directory, which in turn is calling a function from another file in the same sub package. As such, I have a main file which is importing a sub file. This sub file is also importing another sub file which is in the same package.
The first sub file has no issue whatsoever importing the second sub file. The main file also has no issue importing the first sub file. However, when I put it all together and run the main file, Python thinks that the second sub file doesn't exist, which I find strange. I've simplified and visualised my problem with an example below:
I have the following file hierarchy:
test_package\
__init__.py
main_file.py
test_sub_package\
__init__.py
subfile1.py
subfile2.py
main_file code:
import test_sub_package.subfile1
subfile1 code:
import subfile2
subfile2 code:
def get_string():
return ("Hello, World!")
So, I would expect main_file to import subfile2 via subfile1. However this doesn't seem to be the case because I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "...\Test\main_file.py", line 1, in <module>
import test_package.subfile1
File "...\Test\test_sub_package\subfile1.py", line 1, in <module>
import subfile2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'subfile2'
I was a little surprised that I got this error before I even attempted to call the functionality in subfile2. Either way, I'm confused why this doesn't work. Am I just doing something stupid here or am I trying to do something Python fundamentally doesn't support. If anyone can give me a solution it would be most appreciated.
I suspect this is probably a duplicate but I couldn't find an answer to my specific problem. So, sorry in advance.
When you import a module into another module from the same directory you must use must use a relative import in subfile1.py you will need to write:
from . import subfile2
Note, that doesn't give subfile 1 access to get_string to use it in subfile1, you would need to either write subfile2.get_string() or import it directly with:
from .subfile2 import get_string
I have tried this out and it works, I hope this helps :)
Note: that, if you are running a python script, and you need to import a module in that same directory, you can just say import module_name. It makes a difference if it is a script you are running, or a module that is being used in some other script. For a detailed explanation as to why see here
(I assume from your error message that you want to run main.py, if this is not the case you will need to change import test_sub_package.subfile1 to from . import test_sub_package.subfile1)
main file should be:
from test_sub_package.subfile1 import get_string
get_string()
subfile1.py
import test_sub_package.subfile2
So my first python program, I downloaded the macholib package from PYPI, then unzipped it and ran installed the setup.py using python install, now I'm trying to run a program where I first import the macholib, then when I try to access methods like Macho, it gives me an error saying macholib module has no attributes called Macho.
My understanding is macholib is a package and not a module or something, hence I cant use the contents of the package.
Please answer, I've wasted too much time on such a simple newbie issue.
running a mac with the latest version of python.
Code:
import sys
import macholib
MachO(DivXInstaller.dmg)
I tried macholib.MachO(DivXInstaller.dmg) and macholib.MachO.MachO(DivXInstaller.dmg)
Error for python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
MachO(DivXInstaller.dmg)
NameError: name 'MachO' is not defined
You have this line in your code:
MachO(DivXInstaller.dmg)
However, the name MachO is not defined anywhere. So Python tells you this with the error
NameError: name 'MachO' is not defined
If you want to use the MachO module under the name MachO, you have to import it:
from macholib import MachO
This you have not done, which is the cause of your error. All you did was
import macholib
which gives you the name "macholib" that you can use. However, macholib contains mostly submodules which you can not access like that, so that is not particularly useful. If you don't want to pollute the namespace, you can import MachO as
import machlibo.MachO
Which gives you access to the MachO module as macholib.MachO
You haven't defined DivXInstaller.dmg either, so that's going to be your next error. I recommend that you go through a Python tutorial before you start programming in it.
An import statement defines a namespace. Hence, in order to use something defined in the module or package, you need to qualify it. In this case, the module itself is macholib.MachO but you need to dig deeper, to the actual class MachO which, slightly confusingly, has the same name, so you need to import macholib.MachO and use macholib.MachO.MachO (note that when I try to do this I get an error "DistributionNotFound: altgraph", however).
Note further that it takes a filename as an argument, which is a string. Moreover, you are actually creating an instance of a class, so you probably mean
mlib = macholib.MachO.MachO("DivXInstaller.dmg")
where now mlib is actually the object you need to manipulate with further calls...
Alternately you can do from macholib import MachO or even from macholib.MachO import MachO so you could use MachO.MachO(...) or MachO(...) directly.
This is so simple if you understand Python Packages vs. Modules and import vs. from import:
A Python module is simply a Python source file.
A Python package is simply a directory of Python module(s).
1- import:
import package1.package2.module1
To access module1 classes, functions or variables you should use the whole namespace: package1.package2.modlue1.class1
You cannot import a class or function this way: (wrong)
import package1.package2.class1
2- from ... import
Instead use "from" to import a single class, function or variable of a module:
from package1.package2.module1 import class1
no need to address the whole namespace: class1.method1() works now
Note that you cannot import a method of a class this way
Example:
datetime is a class of module datetime that has a method called utcnow(), to access utcnow() one could:
import datetime
datetime.datetime.utcnow()
Or
from datetime import datetime
datetime.utcnow()
