No module named xbox.sg

[foxriver76]

When I try using the smartglass api, I receive an error "No module named xbox.sg".

It happens on command line and in the IDE (Spyder). The other imports are working well, e. g. xbox.webapi

I tried a lot of stuff, like explicity adding the lib to pythonPath, also tried installing via pip and via "python setup.py install".

Also when I use spyder and type "from xbox.sg.console import Console" and than click on sg or consle he opens the correct files.

So I dont really get what the error could be... is there any reason why this shouldn't work?

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Python: 3.6

Can you shed some light and give exact commands on how you attempted to install the library, also please post the installation log (in code tags please).

Are you in the proper python environment when trying to import (you used a fresh virtual environment, right?)?

[foxriver76]

When I use it in a fresh virtualEnv it seems to work properly. Is it only working in a virtual env? Yes, I was using the correct path, importing other modules e. g. from xbox.webapi worked fine as well.

Installation log via pip outside of the virtual env: (so nothing susp, I deleted the xbox-smartglass-core-1.0.8 xbox-webapi-1.1.3 files before the installation, thats why it installs them again)

pip install xbox-smartglass-core

Is it only working in a virtual env? No, but that's the cleanest approach, so it's highly recommended. You won't pollute your main python install and can easily set it up from scratch.

./anaconda3/lib/python3.6/ Maybe it's a problem with Anaconda 3 ? The whole xbox-* packages are namespace-packages ... Maybe Anaconda can't handle them?

Anyways, cool it's working for you now!

Yes I also thought that it could be a spyder or conda problem, but I didn't found a specific issue.

Thanks for your help and for the framework.

It's a conda problem: https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/wiki/Namespace-packages
