ImportError: cannot import name plants

[quintendewilde]

After succesfully installing pycorpora thru pip, I still get following error.

ImportError: cannot import name plants

This following the example from main page pycorpora

Even the standard usage example doesn't work?

print random.choice(pycorpora.plants.flowers['flowers'])

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'plants

Is there something I still need to install in my python path from pycorpora?

I tested and this was working with my already-installed 0.1.1, but after upgrading (pip install -U pycorpora) to 0.1.2 I can reproduce this problem.

Downgrading back to 0.1.1 (pip install pycorpora==0.1.1) doesn't fix it.

I didn't see Installing corpora data from printed during either installation, so the problem's somewhere in there.

Uninstalling pycorpora and installing from a clone works:

$ git clone https://github.com/aparrish/pycorpora
$ cd pycorpora
$ python setup.py install
...

copying build/lib/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords/bg.json -> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords
copying build/lib/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords/cs.json -> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords
copying build/lib/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords/da.json -> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycorpora/data/words/stopwords
c
...

So the problem is with installing via PyPI.

This is related to issue #8. For now, the workaround is to use the following command when installing with pip:

pip install --no-cache-dir pycorpora

[aparrish]

I just updated the README with this information, which should hopefully prevent future confusion. Leaving this issue open as a reminder of how dire the problem is :(

[quintendewilde]

I've tried manual install and the pip no cache install, still when import pycorpora no error, when import plants it gives me the error no such module.

@BLCKPSTV you may need to completely remove the module and re-install (making sure to also uninstall any globally-installed versions).

Sorry how do I do that, uninstalling globally?

I did get it working on my Imac so the cloning/installing installation from hugovk did work for me!
