ImportError: cannot import name 'Token'

[bayees]

Getting following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Main.py", line 2, in <module> from PyInquirer import prompt, print_json File "C:\Users\CBAY\OneDrive - Netcompany\Python Projects\TimeRegistration\venv\lib\site-packages\PyInquirer\__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from prompt_toolkit.token import Token ImportError: cannot import name 'Token'

Running on Windows 10 Enterprise both in Powershell and Cmder. Same error.

Do you have prompt_toolkit installed? Do pip install prompt_toolkit, to install.

[bayees]

Solved it. Thanks

Just a bit too fast. It didn't fix it.

Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems its not installed yet. Which environment are you running it from? Anaconda?

conda install -c conda-forge prompt_toolkit

Looking at your error log, it seems you are using a virtual environment. Hope you installed it there. You should do call scripts/activate in the venv directory, then 'pip install prompt_toolkit`

I got the same issue. A walkaround is to downgrade the prompt_toolkit and it worked for me. pip install 'prompt_toolkit==1.0.14'

Maybe better change the version of prompt_toolkit in requirements.txt: prompt_toolkit==1.0.14

Otherwise will always use latest version of prompt_toolkit FYI: There is breaking update in prompt_toolkit 2.0

[CITGuru]

I updated to newer version of prompt_toolkit and it breaks. So the requirements.txt has been changed to @kensongzhu suggested.

[CITGuru]

I guess this is resolve now :100: :+1:

[MehdiSaffar]

pip install 'prompt_toolkit==1.0.14'

Unfortunately this now makes ipython 7.12.0 not work.

ERROR: ipython 7.12.0 has requirement prompt-toolkit!=3.0.0,!=3.0.1,<3.1.0,>=2.0.0, but you'll have prompt-toolkit 1.0.14 which is incompatible.

when trying to use ipython it gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxx/anaconda3/envs/ox/bin/ipython", line 7, in <module>
    from IPython import start_ipython

    from prompt_toolkit.formatted_text import PygmentsTokens
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prompt_toolkit.formatted_text'   

after pip install prompt_toolkit ipython now works again but pyinquirer fails

It doesn't work. I tried it all and I get this error:

still the same issue 4 years later. I am also trying to get it to work in a jupyter notebook with the following versions:

ipython 8.12.0 PyInquirer 1.0.3 prompt-toolkit 3.0.39

With a recent version of prompt_toolkit, PyInquirer fails because of the way it imports the token. With an old version of prompt_toolkit, PyInquirer fails because prompt_toolkit tries to import collections.Mapping which moved to collections.abc years ago....

Basically you cannot use PyInquirer on a modern version of python without a lot of work. Actually, an unknown amount of work, because who knows what other gremlins will bite once this one is fixed.

If you ever needed a canonical example of the mess of Python package management and dependencies, this would be a good one.

EDIT: Someone seems to have done that work and updated in to support modern Pythons: https://github.com/kazhala/InquirerPy . I haven't tried it yet though.
