error message: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_nimkovgen)

[spookware]

I am trying to import my nim file to python. Recieving this output/error:

  File "C:\Users\phili\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\nimporter.py", line 979, in __validate_spec
    util.module_from_spec(spec)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 573, in module_from_spec

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed
ImportError: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_nimkovgen)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Please keep in mind I am not a very experienced coder, and simply want to use this nim code in my python package. If you need anything from my end, try and explain it in a simple manner :)

Hi @spookware can you post the Nim file? I think you might be missing exportpy. Make sure to compare your code with the README since Nim code has to be annotated in order to be used by Python.

[spookware]

This is the code in the nim file:

import nimkov/[generator, objects, validators]
import nimpy

proc generate(file: File): auto =
  var file = open("messages.txt")
  let phrases = file.readAll().split("\n")
  file.close()

  let markov = newMarkov(phrases)

  return markov.generate().get```

All functions you want to have exposed to Python need: {.exportpy.}

That should fix this error for you. Let me know if it doesn’t work.
