While working on my first "bigger" Python project, I'm running into a multitude of issues while trying to debug and import various modules/sub-modules. Here's my tree:
netbox-setup/
├── README.md
├── TODO.md
├── netboxsetup
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── constants.py
│ ├── helpers
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── custom_napalm
│ │ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ │ └── ios.py
│ │ ├── infoblox.py
│ │ ├── ise.py
│ │ ├── netbox.py
│ │ ├── solarwinds.py
│ │ └── utilities.py
│ └── main.py
├── requirements.txt
├── setup.py
└── tests
main.py imports:
from netboxsetup.helpers import utilities
from netboxsetup.helpers import solarwinds
utilities.py imports:
from napalm import get_network_driver
from netboxsetup.constants import USER
From what I've been reading, it's recommended to use absolute imports in a package rather than relative. If I try to run main.py from within the netboxsetup folder, it states that netboxsetup cannot be found. So I removed that and just called from helpers import utilities. Now running main.py works, but when it imports the utilities file, the imports in the utilities file fail. Information I'm finding regarding import use in a package/module seems to be inconsistent on what to do/use.
Finally, if I run a python3 shell from the the netbox-setup folder, and use from netboxsetup.helpers import utilities it imports. If I do the same from the netboxsetup folder, it states that "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'netboxsetup'". Going back to where it worked, I then followed https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/extend_driver.html to create the same setup exactly, and it states that my new method isn't found when I run the grab_inventory function I defined in the utilities.py. And I did appropriately create the respective get_inventory function in the class in the ios.py file as the Napalm docs advise.
def grab_inventory(ip, password):
# make less assumption, account for nx-os as well
driver = get_network_driver('ios')
with driver(ip, USER, password) as client:
result = client.get_inventory()
return result
I'm guessing all of my issues are related to pathing - whether absolute or relative, but I'm just having a very difficult time determining what the exact pathing is that works for everything. Is anyone able to point me into a proper source for proper import of modules in custom packages? Thanks.
P.S. Is it possible to debug an individual function in VSCode, giving it arguments at runtime as well (rather than having to run through all of the main sequence code to get to the function)?

I have the following structure:
│
├── pckg1/
│ └── utils/
│ ├── module11.py
│ └── module12.py
│
├── pckg2/
│ └── utils/
│ ├── module21.py
│ └── module22.py
│
└── main_pckg/
├── utils/
└── main.py
When I run main.py, I import required methods from both module11.py and module21.py under utils directories under from pckg1 and pckg2.
In side those modules there are some local imports. For Example (pckg1/utils/module11.py):
from utils.module21 import X,Y,Z
when I run main_pckg/main.py, the following error naturally raises:
No module named `utils/module21` under the current working dir.
Since there is no module21
A naive solution is to modify those imports to relative import:
from ..utils.module21 import X,Y,Z
But I have many modules and subprojects with are tracked and shall not be modified.
Any workarounds to solve it?
Python is trying to reach those files from main.py.
You can add those folders to path from main file.
import sys
sys.path.append('../pckg1/utils')
sys.path.append('../pckg2/utils')
After that you won't need to specify the folder name
from module21 import x, y, z
should work
i'm experimenting with DDD in Python so i've decided to implement a toy project.
I've created different directories in other to separate shared concepts from specific bounded contexts concepts.
As i try to import these files, i'm facing a No module named error exceptions
For example, with this project structure:
.
└── src/
├── Book/
│ ├── application
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── Book.py
│ │ └── __init__.py
│ ├── infrastructure
│ └── __init__.py
└── Shared/
├── application
├── domain/
│ ├── Properties/
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ └── UuidProperty.py
│ ├── ValueObjects/
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ └── BookId.py
│ └── __init__.py
└── infrastructure
On src/Book/domain/Book.py i have:
from Shared.domain.ValueObjects.BookId import BookId
class Book:
bookId: BookId
pages: int
As i've seen in other answer (pretty old ones) it can be fixed by adding these folders to PYTHONPATH or PATH like sys.path.insert(*path to file*) but i'm wondering if there is a more pythonic way to achieve that.
I've also tried to add an __init__.py file to src and import as from src.Shared.domain.ValueObjects.BookId import BookId but none of previous attempts worked for me
On other repos i've saw that they use setuptools to install the src package in order to import it at unit tests (i cant either import them at tests), but i don't know if that is recommended or would work inside package imports
In case someone is facing the same issue as me, i managed to import subpackages and the full package in tests directory.
Just include, in each subpackage, an __init__.py file, and inside the package/subpackages, use relative imports (it looses semantic of imports, when we know where each imports comes from by absolute path from root directory, but works)
from ..Properties import UuidProperty
# inside __init__.py of Properties directory
from .UuidProperty import UuidProperty
And, by including an __init__.py inside src/ we could import them at tests directory like
from src.Book.domain import Book
Hope this helps someone!
I am writing a program which is mainly in python but some interactive features are done through a web-app that talks to flask. It would be nice to have the web-app inside the python program so I am looking at using PyQtWebEngine.
This works surprisingly well except that I cannot get spell checking to work. I have run
self.page().profile().setSpellCheckEnabled(True)
self.page().profile().setSpellCheckLanguages({"en-GB"})
from inside my child class of QWebEngineView, and I have checked isSpellCheckEnabled() is True.
I wonder if it cannot find the languages. No qWarning is detected which I would expect if it cannot find the dictionary. As suggested by the non-python example.
I have an en-GB.bdic which I copied from the Chromium hunspell git. I have tried putting the file at:
<directory_my_py_file_is_in>/qtwebengine_dictionaries/en-GB.bdic
When I run
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
print(app.applicationDirPath())
the result is
/usr/bin
so I tried
/usr/bin/qtwebengine_dictionaries/en-GB.bdic
This wouldn't have been OK because I cannot edit this location when the program is pip installed, but it was worth a try.
With the .bdic file in either place I never see any spell check feature.
Has anyone got spellchecking working in PyQtWebEngine? I have not been able to find much in the way of documentation.
Assuming that the .bdic are valid then I have established the path of the dictionaries through the environment variable QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH, for example I have translated the official example into python with the following structure:
├── data
│ ├── icon.svg
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── spellchecker.qrc
│ └── style.css
├── dict
│ ├── de
│ │ ├── de-DE.aff
│ │ ├── de-DE.dic
│ │ └── README.txt
│ └── en
│ ├── en-US.aff
│ ├── en-US.dic
│ └── README.txt
├── main.py
├── spellchecker_rc.py
├── qtwebengine_dictionaries
│ ├── de-DE.bdic
│ └── en-US.bdic
└── README.md
main.py
# ...
CURRENT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
os.environ["QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH"] = os.path.join(
CURRENT_DIR, "qtwebengine_dictionaries"
)
# ...
Note: To get the bdic I have used the qwebengine_convert_dict tool executing:
qwebengine_convert_dict dict/en/en-US.dic qtwebengine_dictionaries/en-US.bdic
qwebengine_convert_dict dict/de/de-DE.dic qtwebengine_dictionaries/de-DE.bdic
The complete code is here.
I'm building a website with the bottle framework. I am using nosetests for my unit testing. However there is a problem I can't solve on my own.
I can't seem to find a way that allows me to run the tests without breaking my server. When I run my tests, I have to do relative imports for them to work, but they don't work when I start the server.
This is my folder structure:
├── service
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── application.py
│ ├── main.py
│ ├── response_header.py
│ ├── global_data_loader.py
│ ├── renderer
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── header.py
│ │ ├── ....
│ ├── tests
│ │ ├── test_application.py
│ │ ├── ....
Here is how I import so my server works:
application.py --
from response_header import ResponseHeader
from global_data_loader import GlobalDataLoader
from renderer import Application
However, when I run nosetests, I get this message:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'response_header'
So when I want nosetests to work, I have to change the imports to look like this:
application.py --
from .response_header import ResponseHeader
from .global_data_loader import GlobalDataLoader
from .renderer import Application
Then my nosetests work, but when I want to start my server I get this message:
from .response_header import ResponseHeader
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
I have tried using sys.path.append in my tests, and it works, but I need a solution that doesn't involve PYTHONPATH or using os/sys
edit: i fixed it by moving my main.py I use to start the server to the root folder, above my service and tests module. now it works fine
I'm trying to run a .py file through the command prompt using the command "python filename.py". I've already set the environment variables for python after I installed it, so I don't get any error when I type python. The file I'm running imports a few directories, all of which are preexistent in the same directory as the file I'm running, apart from the file web.py, which I can't seem to locate in the directory, so I'm assuming it's somewhere inside the python package, I have downloaded. But, I couldn't find it there either, so would I need to install an extension for python for the web.py file to be successfully imported or is there another way around this.
I've downloaded Python 3.4, I'm using windows 7 as my operating system and the exact error I receive when I try to compile the file is
ImportError: No module named 'utils'
Can someone please explain or direct me to a page which shows in detail how to install extensions for python?
The specific error happens when the Python interpreter can't find a particular ".py" file. In your case, it is the file "utils.py".
First you need to find which file is trying to import "utils.py". Starting with your main file, look up all the files you are importing. (I am guessing this issue is coming from one of the non-library files, but I could be wrong.)
Once you have the "top level" import list, check each of those files to see what THEY are importing, and repeat the process for them. Eventually, you will find the .py file which is trying to import "utils". There might be a directory specification forcing Python to look in the wrong place.
Finally, using windows' file manager, perform a search for "utils.py". As a temporary fix, you can copy it from its current location into your working directory. That will at least allow you to get your project up and running until you sort out the real cause.
This error occurs due to file(s)/folder(s) that are not in their respective locations.
I had a very similar error with a Python Flask Framework app, it turns out that my manage.py and config.py files were inside the app folder with the other folders(they were supposed to be outside the app directory), and that cause the error in my situation.
Once I placed the files in their proper location boom error was gone.
So Check you application framework and make sure things are located were they're supposed to be.
Good luck
I installed via apt (I use debian linux) and had this same error in one project. For me, the solution was to install via pip:
$ pip install utils
It should work for both python 2 and python 3.
So in my case I ran tree command in my Pipenv environment and it should be look like as below: I hope this helps.
