Problem with StringIO importing ee, although it could be imported alone

I am trying to import the module ee to use the google earth engine according to the documentation on the dedicated website.
https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install
I got this error:
import ee
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
/tmp/ipykernel_35721/2985164896.py in <module>
----> 1 import ee
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ee/__init__.py in <module>
----> 1 from .main import main
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ee/main.py in <module>
8 import stat
9 import plistlib
---> 10 import StringIO
11 import platform
12 import time
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'StringIO'
The puzzling thing is that I can import this module without ee flawlessly.
from io import StringIO
import io
Would anyone had the same issue?

Modifying the original python file at the following location solve the problem:
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ee/main.py
Line 10, replace 'import StringIO' by 'from io import StringIO'.

I'm currently having trouble importing some simple packages.
I'm working on pycharm professional in a virtual environment.
just trying to load;

I've never come across this error before so don't know how to fix.

ImportError in Jupyter Notebook

I am trying import a module in Jupyter and it is not working:
import alyn
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-8-8e9535ea4303> in <module>()
----> 1 import alyn
~\Anaconda3\envs\tracx\lib\site-packages\alyn\__init__.py in <module>()
1 """ Import required modules"""
----> 2 from deskew import *
3 from skew_detect import *
ImportError: No module named 'deskew'
I don't quite understand why, since the package in question has a correct init.py file:
whose contents are:
""" Import required modules"""
from deskew import *
from skew_detect import *
What am I missing?
P.S.
This is all taking place on Windows 10.

Well, I've figured it out!
Turns out that the package I was trying to import is written in Python 2 and its init file is using the relative import mechanism. However, I am working in Python 3 and relative import is no longer supported in it. The init file can be made to work in Python 3 by adding a . in both lines, like this:
""" Import required modules"""
from .deskew import *
from .skew_detect import *
I think this should be backward compatible with Python 2.

python from . import fails

Trying caffe python examples from: http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/tutorial/interfaces.html gives me error:

ImportError: cannot import name sigtools
Apparently the sigtools import fails, but I can't figure out why. The /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/signal contains all files:
$ ls -1 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/signal/sign*
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/signal/signaltools.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/signal/signaltools.pyc
In general, how python process directives like this, specifically what dot is resolved to if my working directory was completely different from the location where sigtools package is located?
from . import sigtools

As stated here:
`from ... import` vs `import .`
"from . import sigtools" imports the main module "." (which is "signal") than imports the object/module sigtools. If "." has been already imported it rely on that structure.
I think that this can be tricky in case you have 2 modules with the same name in the python import path: the interpreter imports the first one found and never imports the second one. If the second one has more modules than the first one, this can lead to something similar to your problem.

About Graphlab library importing

In Ubuntu 14.04, I have installed Graphlab based on https://dato.com/download/install-graphlab-create-command-line.html and it seems to be working fine.
However, I receive this error when trying to use a recommender module:
import graphlab
from graphlab.recommender import ranking_factorization_recommender
In the first line, graphlab is imported without any error. However, the second line causes this error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-34df81ffb957> in <module>()
----> 1 from graphlab.recommender import ranking_factorization_recommender
ImportError: No module named recommender
How can the problem be solved? Thanks

It's just a namespace issue. recommender actually lives in the `toolkits module, so this should work:
import graphlab
from graphlab.toolkits.recommender import ranking_factorization_recommender

Graphlab has already imported everything for you in their __init__.py file.
Just do:
from graphlab import ranking_factorization_recommender
from graphlab import <any_other_recommender>
Here is a snippet of graphlab.__init__.py file:
from graphlab.util import get_runtime_config
from graphlab.util import set_runtime_config
import graphlab.connect as _mt
import graphlab.connect.aws as aws
