ImportError: cannot import name 'main'

[frankmuc]

I installed DeDa on different platforms but wherever I am running a command, it returns an error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'main'

Command (example):

deda_clean_document test.tif

deda was installed via pip3 install deda and all components were downloaded and installed. Everything was successful, but I just can't run any of the commands.

Last attempt was OpenSuSE an pip 10.0.1.

(base) C:\Users\Frank_PC>deda_clean_document test.png Traceback (most recent call last): File "d:\anaconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "main", mod_spec) File "d:\anaconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "D:\Anaconda3\Scripts\deda_clean_document.exe__main__.py", line 5, in ImportError: cannot import name 'main'

Able to reproduce as well. Temporary work around is:

$python -m bin.deda_parse_print
usage: deda_parse_print.py [-h] [-m MASK] [-d DPI] [-o] [-v] file
deda_parse_print.py: error: the following arguments are required: file

Looks like the Main symbol in deda_parse_print changed to Main and a slightly different calling convention.

Thank you. Fixed in version 1.0b3. $ pip3 install --upgrade deda

On Windows using Anaconda, I still have the same problem regarding "cannot import main". But the workaround "python -m bin.deda_parse_print" appears to work. Linux has not been tested yet because I need to start my ESXi.

Please uninstall the old version. $ pip uninstall deda And check if deda_parse_print cannot be found. Are you on Deda version 1.0b3 when you reinstall?

[frankmuc]

I uninstalled and reinstalled (but it was already 1.0b3). Now I can no longer run deda_parse_print from the command line which worked previously:

deda_parse_print Command not found

but this works:

python -m bin.deda_parse_print

usage: deda_parse_print.py [-h] [-m MASK] [-d DPI] [-o] [-v] file deda_parse_print.py: error: the following arguments are required: file

The files in the Anaconda3\Scripts folder are now python text files without a file extension. Weren't these .exe files previously?

Hi Frank,

the mentioned error is platform dependent unfortunately. But this has been fixed in the development branch and will work in the next release. Unix-style systems shall now be able to run the program. The Angloamerican OS indeed needs file extensions. Maybe for now add "python" to the call like $ python deda_parse_print #or $ python Anaconda3\Scripts\deda_parse_print
