Please don't use v1.10-alpha. Try installing from the rebase branch (v2.0), that fixes the issue.

[tanner02]

The problem still persists on discord.py-self-2.0.0a1

It's also a bit different on my local machine:

from discord.ext import commands, tasks
ImportError: cannot import name 'commands' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)

[dolfies]

I'll take another look.

[rayzchen]

Issue still exists for me as well

[rayzchen]

There is no __init__.py file in discord.ext folder so how is it imported? I don't have discord.py installed at the same time, because it gives me more errors about no AutoShardedBot.

[UkaUkaa]

Same problem. Updated the rebase branch. Before changes #16ad1a1 worked.

[UkaUkaa]

Through trial and error, I found the last working commit on this issue #6420dfd Everyone after this commit has this error

[dolfies]

Interesting.

AutoShardedBot doesn't exist because users do not shard.

I installed the rebase branch using pip install git+https://github.com/dolfies/discord.py-self.git@rebase. This is the discord package directory:

I don't see the ext/ folder anywhere.

[rayzchen]

Ah, i see what is going wrong. Without __init__.py in discord/ext/, setuptools.find_packages() doesn't recognise discord.ext as a subpackage and doesn't include it in the installation. Maybe adding an empty __init__.py file would fix it?

[rayzchen]

Works perfectly with an extra __init__.py file. (other than issue #180)

[dolfies]

Not having an extra __init__.py is deliberate. discord.ext.* shouldn't be imported when you simply import discord, especially since external libs use that namespace.

[dolfies]

Should be good now.
