ImportError: cannot import name 'Gitlab' from 'gitlab' (/home/etienne/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gitlab/__init__.py)

I believe this issue does not have to do with python-gitlab issue. This is simply a namespace confusion issue

Hi @xgui3783 ,

Thank you for referencing my issue. Do you have a suggestion for fixing it?

[xgui3783]

I don't have much experience using python outside virtualenv, unfortunately.

python-gitlab did indeed have a bug in v2.7.0 release (demonstrated here, issue here )

The proof of concept of the python-gitlab issue shows that the error occurs when one attempts to fetch a file from a repository, and much after from gitlab import Gitlab

can you maybe cat /home/etienne/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gitlab/__init__.py and we can try to diagnose why the import is failing?

Is there any update on this one? @EtienneCmb does siibra work for you now? If not we might have a short call to resolve this and explain here.

Hi @dickscheid ,

I finally fixed my Gitlab issue, probably not the cleanest workaround but I didn't found a better solution :

• rm gitlab/ folder in site-package
• pip install -U python-gitlab

After that siibra import works

Hi @EtienneCmb , thanks for the followup! Hmmm... not too satsifactory but good that you solved it. We will then monitor if this reappears for other users, but close the issue.

I do agree, I tried clean uninstall through pip and conda, nothing worked :\
