Script runs fine from script, but fails when using PythonAnywhere tasks ("No module named gdbm"

I am using Python Anywhere to run a scheduled task. I have written the script and tested it running from the file and it works fine. However, if I used a scheduled task I get an error message.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/myaccount/myfile.py", line 45, in <module>
activeData = shelve.open('activeData')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shelve.py", line 243, in open
return DbfilenameShelf(filename, flag, protocol, writeback)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shelve.py", line 227, in __init__
Shelf.__init__(self, anydbm.open(filename, flag), protocol, writeback)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/anydbm.py", line 84, in open
mod = __import__(result)
ImportError: No module named gdbm
I'm confused as to why the script runs fine if I run it from the script, but fails when triggered from the scheduled tasks, and why this would produce a missing module.
Any help appreciated.

client_secrets.json not found in pyiinstaller

so I have this program in python that I want to use pyinstaller to make into an executable. It runs perfectly on its own and pyinstaller makes the executable fine but when I run the executable I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/pydrive/auth.py", line 386, in LoadClientConfigFile
File "site-packages/oauth2client/clientsecrets.py", line 165, in loadfile
File "site-packages/oauth2client/clientsecrets.py", line 125, in _loadfile
oauth2client.clientsecrets.InvalidClientSecretsError: ('Error opening file',
'client_secrets.json', 'No such file or directory', 2)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "updating.py", line 17, in <module>
File "site-packages/pydrive/auth.py", line 113, in _decorated

pydrive.settings.InvalidConfigError: Invalid client secrets file ('Error
opening file', 'client_secrets.json', 'No such file or directory', 2)
[34574] Failed to execute script updating
Why does this work on its own but pyinstaller doesn't catch anything until the executable is ran? I can't seem to find an answer otherwise.
Notable Info:
I'm running a Mac OS X, Mojave 10.14.2, Python Version 3.7.2.
The client_secrets.json is from a Google Drive API, v3
The file is in my directory just like all my other files, in the same spot.
Thanks!!

AttributeError: LooseVersion instance has no attribute 'version'

I'm working on a python program which reads parquet type file and converts it in to pandas dataframe. It works fine while i use the python command to run it (python framework1.py arg1 arg2). But after converting it to an executable file using pyinstaller and when the executable file is ran , it gives the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "framework1.py", line 325, in <module>
File "filetype.py", line 24, in fileTypeSelector

Thanks in advance :)

I solved the issue by using fastparquet engine rather than using pyarrow.
df1=pd.read_parquet(filepath,engine='fastparquet')

Python error ValueError: substring not found

I have no experience with python and I am installing a mongodb tools from https://github.com/rueckstiess/mtools. After installation and launch the application I got below exception errors. It seems that there is a grama issue but I am not sure about it. Is it caused by python version? I am using python 2.7. How can I know which version fix this problem?

AWS-CLI throwing unexpected Python based 'Session' error

I have tried purging AWS CLI and removing all package files and re-installing, but error persists. Plz help!! Thanks.

Probably you have upgraded your virtualenv/setuptools and now your utility is screwed up. It happened to me with a wrongly set Chef that upgraded those two packages and, after that, the utility stopped working.
