[BUG] Installing package but not being able to import it

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 34 comments

Describe the bug
Installing it through pip works fine. But then when I run the python file, it raises a ModuleNotFoundError.

C:\Users\---\programing\python>pip install git-api
Requirement already satisfied: git-api in c:\users\---\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (1.0.0)

C:\Users\---\programing\python>python githubapi.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "githubapi.py", line 1, in <module>
    import git_api
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'git_api'

Code in githubapi.py:

from git_api import *

# set the token
Token('mytoken123supersecret123') 

user_info = User("Isaiah08-D").User() # Insert your username in the argument shown here.

print(user_info)

You probably want to go into the place where python is installed, and look at the lib dir, where packages are installed. Look for a folder that look like git_api. It will probably not be the same name. The name of the folder is the name of which you need to import

Answer 3 · 2021-10-03T17:30:23.000Z

@Isaiah08-D, if you did this in Replit, maybe check the packages section to the left, and install from there. If it is already installed and still does not work, you might want to try going to the shell, and inserting the following:

pip install "git_api"

This may or may not work, but there is a chance that it will probably be the answer to your problem.

Hope this helps!

I was not doing it on replit, but I just tried and it still doesn't work. Here is the repl:

Answer 5 · 2021-10-04T10:45:26.000Z

I know an easier way to upload packages to pypi. Can I try to use that? I will keep the code and the credits, just upload it to pypi in a different fashion.

Answer 6 · 2021-10-04T11:37:56.000Z

Okay, sure! I'll keep on trying to find a way to make the module upload correctly, this has happened before to a package I have made, and I did fix it, I just forget how. I'll let you know when I find how!

Answer 7 · 2021-10-04T12:22:37.000Z

I found out that when installing, pip isn't installing the right thing, so I think that your publishing the package wrong. (I found this by looking at were pip installs packages)

Answer 8 · 2021-10-04T12:24:34.000Z

Ah, okay. Well, if you look at the pypi page, it is published, so I'm not exactly sure...

Answer 9 · 2021-10-04T12:25:15.000Z

It is, but it's not installing the right thing

Answer 10 · 2021-10-04T12:51:17.000Z

Oh, my bad. So the publishing method is incorrect when using pip?

Answer 11 · 2021-10-04T13:00:18.000Z

Probably yes.

Answer 12 · 2021-10-04T13:01:04.000Z

Hmmm, didn't this happen for ReplAPI as well?

Answer 13 · 2021-10-04T13:01:59.000Z

No, use the publish instructions here

Answer 14 · 2021-10-04T13:05:24.000Z

Ooh, kk. Thanks! I'll try that and let you know what happens.

Answer 15 · 2021-10-04T14:24:46.000Z

Uh, so I tried doing the steps, not sure if it made a difference yet, I'll check.

Answer 16 · 2021-10-04T14:40:23.000Z

@darkdarcool, I updated and did the correct way, however, it made not difference. Is there a different way I could upload this to pypi that works?

Thanks!

Answer 17 · 2021-10-04T17:13:33.000Z

@JBYT27 I finished it. Not sure whether it works though. Join the repl:
https://replit.com/join/drdjzwmxmp-isaiah08
I used the method from here:

And here is the pypi:

Answer 18 · 2021-10-04T17:14:46.000Z

Yay i think it works!

Answer 19 · 2021-10-04T17:19:48.000Z

Oh, okay! Let me test it, and see if it works!

Answer 20 · 2021-10-04T17:24:10.000Z

Hmm, @Isaiah08-D, that doesn't work either. Let me ask darkdarcool, or find a way myself.

Thanks for trying though!

Answer 21 · 2021-10-05T12:23:24.000Z

@JBYT27 Are you sure it doesn't work for you? I tried it on my computer:

Answer 22 · 2021-10-05T12:30:28.000Z

it looks like it downloaded right, it just didn't run the api right. It's a step foward. All you have to do now is fix the API code itself.

Answer 23 · 2021-10-05T12:36:03.000Z

Yep. However, the API code does work, it just seems like it doesn't work on your specific code editor @Isaiah08-D?

Answer 24 · 2021-10-05T13:15:53.000Z

I figured out the error. It means incorrect credentials. You need an actual git auth token

Answer 25 · 2021-10-06T12:15:48.000Z

I assume this is still a problem, as the v1.0.2 wheel released to PyPI yesterday lacks any actual code. The fault is in this line in setup.py:

https://github.com/JBYT27/GitAPI/blob/1c3e0c7e9b946a996378130954eb2fd3a796397f/src/setup.py#L17

This is invalid. packages needs to be set to a list containing the name of the import package — in this case, packages=["git_api"] (or, to properly future-proof against subpackages added later, from setuptools import find_packages and then do packages=find_packages()).

Before uploading your next wheel, you should make sure you've built it properly by inspecting the contents. A wheel is just a zipfile with a funny extension, so any program for examining zipfiles — like zipinfo — should do.

Answer 26 · 2021-10-06T13:02:10.000Z

Oh, @jwodder, thanks for letting us know!
So basically I need to add to the packages argument, "git_api"?

Answer 27 · 2021-10-06T13:07:24.000Z

So would this be okay?

Answer 28 · 2021-10-06T13:18:05.000Z

@JBYT27 Yes, that should work.

Answer 29 · 2021-10-06T13:30:55.000Z

Yup it should

Answer 30 · 2021-10-06T14:05:34.000Z

Ok, thanks!

Answer 31 · 2021-10-07T12:04:52.000Z

I will close this issue after I upload to PyPi, just letting you know :)

Answer 32 · 2021-10-07T18:44:04.000Z

YES, IT WORKS!

Thanks so much! I'll close this issue now!
