ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package #381

Hello, any assistance would be very much appreciated. I have been trying to troubleshoot.

I followed the instructions on https://github.com/coursera-dl/edx-dl for installation First error was: python: can't open file 'edx-dl.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory realized it only works in ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/edx_dl and with edx_dl.py not edx-dl.py

Now when I input: python edx-dl.py -u user@user.com --list-courses (with my details of course and with edx_dl.py ) or even : python edx_dl.py --help

I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "edx_dl.py", line 33, in from ._version import version ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

You can edit the edx_dl.py file and remove . before the ._version (line 33). Also do it on the other lines where packages are imported form ._XXX. This is to be done in parsing.py file also. It worked for me.
