python "ImportError: No module named xyz" on shared hosting - python

Similar questions have been asked on SO, I tried to follow their solution but so far no success.
I have downloaded gspread from here to use it in my project.
Locally in mac + eclipse + pydev everything works fine.
When I copy the code to my shared hosting environment (centos, bluehost) I get the error no module named gspread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ReadSpreadsheet.py", line 8, in
import gspread
ImportError: No module named gspread
Here is my directory structure:
src/
gspread/
__init__.py
SpreadsheetReader/
__init__.py
ReadSpreadsheet.py (calls import gspread)
Python version is 2.7 both locally and on shared hosting env. On shared I installed python 2.7 myself in ~/python.
I am not sure when it works locally in pydev why it doesn't work in the shared hosting environment.
Since I only develop locally and just use git pull on the sever to copy the code my preferred solution is not to have a custom code for the server. Setting env variables, etc is not perfect but acceptable.
Sorry in advance if the question looks similar. I was struggling for the past day with no luck. I think this should be a fairly common importing situation.

Thanks to the comments, installing pip and then installing gspread using pip solved the problem.
pip install gspread
The command above is mentioned in the gspread documentation.

Getting error No module named 'azure.storage.blob.blockblobservice' while executing on server

I have a script that runs perfectly fine on my local machine using Anaconda
from azure.storage.blob.blockblobservice import BlockBlobService
I installed it via: pip install azure-storage-blob.
I migrated the script to a server and first did pip install azure-storage-blob. This ran without any issues. Now when I execute from azure.storage.blob.blockblobservice import BlockBlobService, I get the error No module named 'azure.storage.blob.blockblobservice'.
I went into the site-packages folder on the server and could not find the file "blockblobservice.py" under azure/storge/blob folder. Below are the list of files and folders I see under this folder on the server:
__init__.py
_blob_service_client.py
_blob_client.py
_deserialize.py
_container_client.py
_lease.py
_download.py
_shared_access_signature.py
_serialize.py
_models.py
_version.py
_upload_helpers.py
_generated
aio
_shared
__pycache__
pip freeze | grep azure returns below information:
azure-common==1.1.25
azure-core==1.6.0
azure-nspkg==3.0.2
azure-storage-blob==12.3.2
azure-storage-nspkg==3.1.0
Thanks in advance, for your help in resolving this!
azure.storage.blob.blockblobservice is part of older Azure Storage SDK (azure-storage) and not the newer one (azure-storage-blob).
I believe the reason why code is working on your machine is because you have the older SDK still present on your machine. You can confirm this by going into site-packages/azure/storage/blob folder on your local machine. You should see blockblobservice.py file there.

Issue importing Google Neuroglancer Package

I am using Google's Neuroglancer which I downloaded from GitHub and trying to run an example script provided by them. However, one of the lines is import neuroglancer, and since I cloned the whole repo there is a neuroglancer folder with all of the required files, but I am getting the following error:
ImportError: No module named 'neuroglancer'
Is there any way I could fix this? I don't see the issue since neuroglancer is in the same file path as the python script.
In case you are running the example in the neuroglancer project try following their guide.
Otherwise you might want to try and installing the Neuroglancer package using something like pip and a virtual environment to be able to import the package into the project.

can't import google.appengine.api

This should be pretty basic as I've installed lots of python packages, but I can't for the life of my get google apis client library for python to install.
I'm pressure sure I've gone through the instructions on this website properly:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation
To summarize I've done the following:
$ easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
this seems to work fine, doesn't report any errors or warnings
downloaded and unzipped google-api-python-client-gae-1.2.zip into the directory where my project is
but if I open an iPython session in the folder where I unpacked the full dependencies I can't do the basic imports such as:
import google.appengine.api it just says "No Module named google.appengine.api"
I checked in my site-packages folder and google_api_python_client-1.2-py2.7.egg is there. But it doesn't show up in sys.path
when I do sys.path.append('C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages\google_api_python_cli
ent-1.2-py2.7.egg') it adds the correct path, but the import still doesn't work.
EDIT: This fixed my problem
Adding the Google SDK to my Python path did the trick. I don't know why the installer didn't do this when I ran it. but hey, this worked
So if I run:
sys.path.append('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\google_appengine')
from google.appengine import api
works!
Without knowing all the steps you took to install app engine and the client APIs, my only recommendation is to install (or reinstall) the Google App Engine Python SDK from here: https://developers.google.com/appengine/downloads#Google_App_Engine_SDK_for_Python. Looks like you're on windows, so you would grab the MSI.
Just make sure you launch the AppEngineLauncher application after installation as it will give you the option to create symlinks so you can run commands from terminal.

ImportError: No module named Foundation

I am trying to follow the instructions for the accepted answer to "PyObjC development with Xcode 3.2". I will repost them here since I don't have enough rep to comment on the actual question:
Here's what I have done to get PyObjC working in Snow Leopard:
Using the Finder, I went to Go > Connect to Server... and connected to http://svn.red-bean.com/pyobjc/trunk/pyobjc/pyobjc-xcode/ as a guest.
I then made a folder called Xcode on my local system at ~Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/. (You may already have this folder, but I hadn't customized anything for myself yet).
I copied the File Templates folder from the red-bean server into my new Xcode folder.
Copied the Project Templates folder to some other place, for example, the Desktop.
Using the Terminal, navigated to the temporary Project Templates folder on my Desktop and ran this command to "build" the template.:
$ cd ~/Desktop/Project\ Templates/
$ ./project-tool.py -k -v --template ~/Desktop/Project\ Templates/Cocoa-Python\ Application/CocoaApp.xcodeproj/TemplateInfo.plist Cocoa-Python\ Application ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project\ Templates/Cocoa-Python\ Application
When I try to run the line that starts with ./project-tool.py, I get the following error in Terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./project-tool.py", line 22, in <module>
from Foundation import NSDictionary
ImportError: No module named Foundation
I am running Snow Leopard and have installed Xcode 3.2.1 and have read that this module should already be installed and working. I've read that you can test if the PyObjC modules are working by running >>> import objc in the Python command-line. When I run this, I get:
>>> import objc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named objc
Could anyone help me dispel this error? It seems like I should be able to do all of this automatically with my Snow Leopard installation, but I can't.
I had the same problem. Mine was caused I think by using homebrew to install my own Python to tinker with.
Because I was worried about mixing python versions, rather than creating the link as described above, I installed a new pyobjc using:
$ pip install pyobjc
For interest, from (http://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/)
The PyObjC project aims to provide a bridge between the Python and Objective-C programming languages.
Okay, it turned out that, amending mjv's answer, I was able to get it working by typing
export PYTHONPATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyObjC/"
before executing the ./project-tool.py line. I still find it ridiculous that I had to do this and if anyone can see why, I would be delighted to know.
Doing this also got the
>>> import objc
line working.
It's because PyObjC is there :
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC
Edit :
I found how to make "import objc" work, just :
export PYTHONPATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/"
It will add all the directories to the python path (sys.path)
for python 2.7
export PYTHONPATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/"
One of two things:
Either the Fundation module doesn't exists
Or Python interpretor doesn't know when to find this file
Python looks for modules in the PythonPath
See this SO question for more details on how Python Path is created etc.
Run python -v to trace import statements, this work for interactive mode too.
I could access a Python installation with Foundation on my OSX by running /usr/bin/python file-to-run.py
remove your python or remove site-packages/Foundation | site-packages/foundation
pip3 install pyobjc
the name Foundation is in conflict with https://pypi.org/project/foundation/
I found the foundation folder in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ next to the AppKit folder. After renaming it to Foundation (with uppercase F), the import worked. The Filesystem is not case-sensitive but it seems some part of the import implementation is.
Saw it mentioned in another comment and I too ran into this problem due to installing Python via homebrew. My pyobjc installation wound up going to the Python homebrew installation, yet my pythonpath was linked to the Python that comes bundled with macOS, so there was this big disconnect and I had no luck getting pythonpath re-routed in .zshrc or .zprofile.
In the end, these steps resolved the issue:
brew uninstall python
pip3 install -U pyobjc

ImportError running Google's python appengine on Ubuntu

I'm trying to teach myself python using Google's AppEngine, and I can't get the dev server running. I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/google_appengine/google_appengine_1.2.7/dev_appserver.py",
line 60, in

from google.appengine.tools import os_compat ImportError: cannot import

Ubuntu 9.10 comes with python2.6 (didn't work), and I installed python2.5 (didn't work), and have tried running it with python dev_appserver.py helloWorld (didn't work) as well as running dev_appserver.py after editing the first line to be:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
I can't seem to find anything online with this error. The only problem I've found is about using python 2.5, and I think I've solved that.
Kyle suggested I need to set my PYTHONPATH variable. After running
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/google_appengine/google_appengine_1.2.7
I still get the same error trying to run dev_appserver.py. Am I setting PYTHONPATH wrong? Alternatively, how do I uninstall the protocol buffers python project? I have no use for Ubuntu One and had already uninstalled it.
The problem appears to be the fact that Karmic Koala 9.10 (the latest version of Ubuntu) ships with Ubuntu One, a python app that depends on Google's protocol buffers library. The python-protobuf package provides the google.protobuf package in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6.
Unfortunately, the AppEngine SDK includes another package called google.appengine. So somewhere in your code, the google package is being imported, and the package that contains protobuf is being found on PYTHONPATH first. Python caches the first package it finds in sys.modules, so the second google package in the SDK will never be imported.
You could move the google AppEngine SDK up to the front of your PYTHONPATH. That should ensure that Python finds the google.appengine package instead of the package provided by python-protobuf.
PYTHONPATH=/opt/google_appengine/google_appengine_1.2.7 \
python dev_appserver.py helloWorld
This is a bug that should be reported to the AppEngine SDK project.
Update: I've submitted a bug against the AppEngine API.
It was a file permission problem. os_compat.py wasn't readable by user, just by root. I'm not sure if I screwed this up, or if the permissions by default don't have read-all, but that was the fix.
I hate to accept my own answer after Kyle gave such a good response, but I don't need the $PYTHONPATH fix to make it work now that I did sudo chown -R +r /opt/google_appengine/google_appengine_1.2.7
With that error, Python is saying that it can't find or read the name that it's trying to import. Since the import of os_compat is the very first executable line of AppEngine's dev_appserver.py, I suspect that there's a problem with the way that your paths are configured.
The latest version of Ubuntu (10.10) has also removed Python 2.5 - making it a pain to install the App Engine development environment.
I (finally) got my environment working (including using App Engine Helper for unit testing). I built this bash script which might be useful to others. It installs:
sqlite
libsqlite
pep8
mock
OpenSSL
Python 2.5.2
Python SSL Library
Django 1.1 (latest version in production)
App Engine
App Engine Helper
http://pageforest.googlecode.com/hg/tools/pfsetup
Ubuntu 11.04 comes with python 2.6 as the default version. It is suggested to use Google app engine with version 2.5. I am using it though for many years with python 2.6 without any issues.
What you need to do in order to execute it smoothly with python 2.6 is to edit google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver.py and add these three lines
'_counter',
'_fastmath',
'strxor',
after 'XOR', and before '_Crypto_Cipher__AES', around line ~1350.
If you are now using Google Cloud SDK, put this into ~/.profile.
export CLOUDSDK_ROOT_DIR="/path/to/google/cloud/sdk/"
export APPENGINE_HOME="${CLOUDSDK_ROOT_DIR}/platform/appengine-java-sdk"
export GAE_SDK_ROOT="${CLOUDSDK_ROOT_DIR}/platform/google_appengine"
# The next line enables Java libraries for Google Cloud SDK
export CLASSPATH="${APPENGINE_HOME}/lib":${CLASSPATH}
# The next line enables Python libraries for Google Cloud SDK
export PYTHONPATH=${GAE_SDK_ROOT}:${PYTHONPATH}
# * OPTIONAL STEP *
# If you wish to import all Python modules, you may iterate in the directory
# tree and import each module.
#
# * WARNING *
# Some modules have two or more versions available (Ex. django), so the loop
# will import always its latest version.
for module in ${GAE_SDK_ROOT}/lib/*; do
if [ -r ${module} ]; then
PYTHONPATH=${module}:${PYTHONPATH}
fi
done
unset module
Do not put inside ~/.bashrc because, every time you open a bash session, all those modules will be added again and again into your PYTHONPATH environment variable.
