I have done some research on this question and nothing seems to fix it, I suspect I may be accidentally circularly importing somewhere, but this one has stumped me.
This package is a Python IRC Service framework. The issue occurs when dynamically loading a module (via imp.load_source()), and the new module tries to import something from the src folder (Variables.py). It fails with "Cannot import name Variables", yet, it imports another module from the same directory without complaint.
Here is the specific error:
**ERROR: ModLoad(): Unable to load module
/home/sam/workspace/Affinity/bin/../modules/ircd_affinity.py:
cannot import name Variables
**
This is the full file for modules/ircd_affinity.py: ircd_affinity.py, and src/Variables.py: Variables.py
If it helps. browse the entire repository... this (https://github.com/miniCruzer/Affinity/blob/master/src/Affinity.py) module (starting at line 123) loads modules.
I would appreciate if all responses were kept relevant to the specific issue at hand. Yes, it may be tempting to suggest other things I'm doing wrong or otherwise throughout the entire package - I am welcome to suggestions: please e-mail them to me.
Show the full traceback. Look through it for evidence of (attempted) circular import.
Run Python with the -v option ... what does that tell you?
Look at the contents of sys.path and sys.modules just before the error happens.
"**ERROR: ModLoad(): Unable to ..." doesn't look line a Python-raised error. Is that in your code? If so, dig deeper; why is it raised?

I have a basic question about how to package a python script with a local copy of a module, in this case the yaml module, so that i can run it on another machine and not have to download/install the module.
I tried taking the 'yaml' directory from the repo on github, putting it in the root of my python script, and simply running an import statement, but that doesn't seem to work; when i run import yaml or from yaml import load, my script fails with exception unexpected token '='.
I'm sure that I'm missing something obvious, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer by looking around for a bit. Any help would be appreciated.
Trying to import a class into my Python code from another .py file I've written and included in the same sub-directory, however I'm receiving the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main.S_DES_Functions'; 'main' is not a package
Please find below images of the layout of my Python project.
I'm hoping this is just a really silly mistake I'm making, so if anyone can please advise what I'm doing wrong that'd be great :)
Thanks for the suggestions, I tried them however was still receiving the same error. But I managed to find a work around, similar to what is listed in this other Stack Overflow question - Unresolved reference issue in PyCharm
I basically made a new directory for my classes and set it as the directory as a "Source" for the project, which then allowed me to import it and use the classes without any issues.
I am following the tutorial here:
http://www.prokopyshen.com/create-custom-zipline-data-bundle
and trying to set up a custom bundle to get price from custom, non US financial assets. I am stuck on the line that says:
Advise zipline of our bundle by registering it via .zipline/extension.py
My extension.py file is located in the .zipline/ directiory and has the following code:
from zipline.data.bundles import register
from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv
eqSym = {
"CBA"
}
register(
'CBA.csv', # name this whatever you like
viacsv(eqSym),
)
I don't get what it means to register the bundle via .zipline/extension.py though? I thought it might mean to just run the extension.py file from my terminal via a:
python extenion.py
but that fails and says:
ImportError: No module named viacsv
How do i register this bundle?
I also followed this tutorial and I must confess this part is a little confusing.
First of all, I don't think it's necessary to run:
$ python extension.py
The error message you get probably comes from the fact that Python cannot find the viacsv.py file in sys.path (the places where it looks for modules, etc.). In the tutorial you mentioned, it's not really clear what to do with this file. As far as I am concerned, I just saved the viacsv.py file in my local site-packages directory. As I am on Linux I put it there ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages but it might different for you. You can run the following python script to find out:
import sys
for dr in sys.path:
print dr
Then I just substituted from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv with from viacsv import viacsv in extension.py.
I suspect you might be looking for the wrong place for the extension.py file.
For windows machine, the file is under "~\.zipline\extension.py". In my case, it's under "C:\Users\XXXX\.zipline\extension.py".
I had been looking at zipline folder under conda's site-packages folder, and couldn't find it. Then created an extension.py myself wondering why it's not called.
Check a related post here https://www.quantopian.com/posts/zipline-issue-while-creating-custom-bundle-to-bring-yahoo-data.
Same issue here, #Gillu13 pointed me to this solution.
I installed zipline through conda. So zipline is installed in
home/me/anaconda3/envs/krakenex/lib/python3.6/site-packages
in there you will find zipline/data/bundles and you can put viacsv.py in there...
then
from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv
works
my setup:
project
extract (package)
-> extract_step.py
text (package)
-> paragraph.py
util (package)
-> paths.py
All three packages have empty __init__.py in them. PyDev also shows the packages with the package icon if that matters.
In extract_step.py I can import like so:
from text.paragraph import Paragraph
And instantiate Paragraph objects and use them.
In paths.py I try to import the exact same way, but I get:
ImportError: No module named 'text.paragraph'; 'text' is not a package
I am using Eclipse and PyDev 5.3. Python 3.5.2.
My PYTHONPATH in Eclipse has only:
/${PROJECT_DIR_NAME}
I can run the extract_step.py without issues, but I can not run paths.py without getting the error message (even if the import is the only line in paths.py). What can I do to fix this and why does this happen?
EDIT:
I have tried making a new package, with a new module test.py. I can import in that! I have also tried making a new module in the util package, and it does not work in that either.
Solution (to fix it):
I deleted the util package.
I re-created the package and the paths.py.
It now works.
This answers the "How do I fix this" part of my question, but not the WHY.
If anyone knows why this happened I will accept their answer, but for now, if anyone runs into the same problem, this is how I fixed it.
I have a Tkinter program that i use for time management. I decided to have it scan my inbox in outlook to check emails for tags, and then based on the tag, add it to my list of tasks to do for the night.
The code i wrote works just fine, but i'm getting an error when I import win32com.client. I can import it in IDLE, but it is having problems importing when i try to run the code with a .bat file, or double clicking the .py file.
I have found several people with similar problems, but from what i can tell, it's having problems with win32api module, or pywin32
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "my_program_filename.py", line 1, in <module>
import win32com.client
File "c:/Python27/lib/site-packages/win32com/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I'm really confused. When i get the sys.path it's the same with IDLE as it is running from the .py file with the exception of an added "c:/users/username/desktop/timer" for my .py file.
I'm really lost and haven't had to mess with the system path, but I'm not able to figure out what i need to do to fix this.
What do I need to do to get pywin32 working so I can use win32com.client?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
IIRC, the problem was attempting to link to the debug build. I think i had to dupe the release build and rename it to be debug or something.
try building release and see if it "just works". if so, you have a direction to explore
this is an issue of not having the correct paths in the sys.path. If you make sure that all of the pywin32 folders are in the sys.path(If you check in IDLE it can show that the folders are included even when they aren't?!?!?).
You also have to make sure you run your code from inside your Python directory or it will fail to import win32api. I also found that if you do anything in a function that uses pywin32 and you accidentally misspell the function when you call it, the whole import fails without telling you your function is misspelled. You can also navigate to the /Python27/Lib/site-packages/win32com/client folder and run makepy.py to make sure the right Object library is installed.
When you run makepy.py, you select the COM object you want to use and it creates packages specific to what you want to use. I don't fully understand why this is, but once i did this and ran my file from the Python folder it worked! There is a more in depth explanation on how to get this working right here.
I found this link to be the solution rather than the win32com/client as indicated above: win32com import error python 3.4
in my case typing in cmd:
python C:\Python27\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
I hope this helps
