tl;dr cannot import name 'journal' from 'systemd' occurs on Debian 11 Linux

Problem

I installed python-systemd using pip

$ python3 -m pip install python-systemd

I emulated the README and attempted to import journal. It failed.

$ python3 -m ptpython
>>> import systemd
>>> systemd.get_version()
'0.0.9'
>>> from systemd import journal
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'journal' from 'systemd' (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/systemd/__init__.py)

Run as user root.

Other Context

  • Linux 5.15.93 on aarch64
  • Python 3.9.2
  • libsytemd version 247.3-7. 
    $ dpkg -l | grep systemd
ii  libsystemd0:armhf  247.3-7+rpi1+deb11u1   armhf   systemd utility library
ii  systemd            247.3-7+rpi1+deb11u1   armhf   system and service manager
....

Programs like journalctl work fine so it seems the libsystemd is functioning for other programs.

On PyPi this package is (unfortunately) known as systemd-python as README states:

The project is also available on pypi as systemd-python:
