Attribute Error OWM

[PhilippTh]

I always get AttributeError: module 'pyowm' has no attribute 'OWM' even when using the example code in the docs.

Hi @PhilippTh I need you to provide more detail in order to be able to help you

Can you please paste here the exact code that is not working? Or at least a reference to the part of the docs you are referring to

Thanks

[PhilippTh]

Hi, thank you @csparpa for the quick response! The code I'm using is from your example code in the docs folder.

from pyowm import OWM API_key = 'I use my own API' owm = OWM(API_key) w = owm.daily_forecast(location) print (w)

Thanks for the help!

edit: I use the latest python version (3.6.3) on windows 10 edit2: I just tried it on ubuntu but that made no difference

[csparpa]

So... You said you have an installation on Ubuntu. Can you please launch the command

pip show pyowm

and paste here the full output of it? Thanks man

[csparpa]

Also @PhilippTh please paste the output of

pip3 show pyowm

My doubt is that you are using Python3 but installed PyOWM using pip for Python 2 !

[PhilippTh]

The outcome to both commands is:

C:\Users\Philipp>pip3 show pyowm

What interpreter did you use to run the code that fails?

Can you also pls enter that interpreter and paste here the output of:

import sys
print(sys.path)

Thanks

[PhilippTh]

I used the python interpreter

the command outputs ['', 'C:\\Users\\Philipp\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\python36.zip', 'C:\\Users\\Philipp\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\Philipp\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\Philipp\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36', 'C:\\Users\\Philipp\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\lib\\site-packages']

@PhilippTh I've just tried to run your code on Linux+Python3.6.3 setup, it works like a charm...

Please bear with me and do this test for me please:

1. use your Ubuntu setup, not Windows - what Ubuntu version is it?
2. create a file with this code

import traceback
try:
    raise ValueError()
except:
    traceback.print_exc()

and then run the file with the same interpreter that gave you the errors before.

Eventually, please paste here the stack trace. Thanks a lot

[PhilippTh]

I´d like to thank you for your patience with me and all the quick responses.

1.I´m using a raspberry pi with the latest distribution of raspbian jessie 2.I tried this, and the output was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    raise ValueError()
ValueError

edit: I flashed my sim card and setup everything again and the error seems to not occure anymore. When you said the code I provided would work like a charm, what exactly do you mean by that? What output did you get? Mine now is <pyowm.webapi25.forecaster.Forecaster>

[csparpa]

My output was exactly as yours - you get the object printed out!

So you made it! Congrats!

Nobody will ever guess what the issue was, but that's OK as far as the library works ;)
