Issue with offline installation: importing gives syntax error

[haykp]

We were able to download package and install offline mode. When doing pip3 list it shows that cocotb-pcie is installed:

**/Python-3.9.6/bin/pip3 list
Package        Version
-------------- ----------
cocotb         1.6.0.dev0
cocotb-bus     0.0.0
cocotbext-axi  0.1.13
cocotbext-pcie 0.1.15
electrical     1.0.0
more-itertools 8.8.0
pip            21.1.3
setuptools     56.0.0
simulator      1.0.3
version        0.1.2

However when importing in python, it gives strange error:

python3
Python 3.9.6 (default, Aug  5 2021, 10:07:49) 
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)] on linux

>>> import cocotbext-pcie
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    import cocotbext-pcie
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any ideas what is this?

It's a namespace package. Import it as cocotbext.pcie.

Same error is there:

> import cocotbext.pcie
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cocotbext'

[alexforencich]

That's not the same error, it's no longer a syntax error. Looks like you don't actually have the package installed. Do you possibly have multiple python installations?

[haykp]

actually no, so strange. The package installation passed good

well, in that case I have no idea what the issue is. You should be able to import that, though:
