[Anaconda | Python2.7] ImportError: No module named pyshp #142

Open shCampos opened 6 years ago

shCampos commented 6 years ago

Hi I'm working with Anaconda and Python 2.7, and I installed pyshp using conda-forge. To test, I imported the library like this:

import pyshp

However, the following error appeared:

ImportError: No module named pyshp

But when I do this:

import shapefile

no errors appear. Just to test, I uninstalled the library and reinstalled using pip, but the same thing happens. I really need to import pyshp, because with shapefile my code does not run (I also do not know the reason).

Thanks for the help :)

Hi,

With pyshp, you do “import shapefile”. That was completely the right way to do it because shapefile is the module file name which will be installed as a standalone file (not a directory) in the libs directory. However, I've found that there is a new version (2.0.0-dev) of pyshp which is what you need to run your code (with the new API of the new version). But you can't install it by pip. Download the file from here https://github.com/GeospatialPython/pyshp/blob/master/shapefile.py And put the file in the same directory of your program and do "import shapefile", your code will probably run.

-- Best, Yi

shCampos commented 6 years ago

Thank you for your answer. I did this, but the error continues. Does it have anything to do with the file shapefile.pyc?

jayaBalaR commented 4 years ago

I am also facing this issue since this morning . Followed the steps given by @sunshinejnjn, also explicitly ran sys.path.append(os.getcwd()) in cell before importing in my code. Could you let me know if there is any workaround for this issue

Thank you

karimbahgat commented 4 years ago

Seems there might be a confusion here. Pyshp is just the name of the package on PyPI. The package name when running in the code is shapefile, so the import is done with import shapefile. Going through the examples as laid out in the README should work.

(The version number or sys.path location should not impact this issue, and v2 has since been made available through pip.)

@jayaBalaR have you tried using import shapefile instead of import pyshp? If you're running import shapefile and it doesn't work, can you post here which error message you're getting?

jayaBalaR commented 4 years ago

@karimbahgat , I have tried to import shapefile, faced with error shapefile_error
