Can't import

[ThePromenader]

Hello,

I installed using pip, but I can't seem to import the module, even using importlib. It is present in the proper directory, and all the other modules therein are functioning perfectly (so it is not a $PATH issue).

Thank you.

PS: running Python 3 on Mac OSX 10.12.6 Sierra. PPS: I even tried installing from source, same issue.

PPPS: after installing from source (setup.py), I managed to resolve the issue by moving the egg-info manually to my python package directory, creating a 'blend_modes' directory there as well, and moving blend_modes.py into that.

Interesting. I just tried reproducing your problem but on my system everything installed (and tested) fine via pip. I tested on Python 3.7.2 on Mac OSX 10.14.4 Mojave. What do you mean by "can't seem to import the module"? Did you try to run any particular piece of code?

[ThePromenader]

Thanks for your reply (and for your module!)

By 'can't import' I mean that even 'import blend_modes' in a python script results in a 'module not found'.

In both the methods I indicated earlier, in the python packages directory, the package info files (an .egg file for the 'from source' method, the module-info directory using pip) are installed, but the 'blend_modes.py' (and the directory that should contain it) file is not.

Are you using pip in any specific framework such as Conda?

[ThePromenader]

No, the only concurrant element I have would be homebrew.

Other pip installations (before and after) work well. I'll try something else today just to be sure, though.

I'm also doing a system-wide search (as we speak) to see whether it was inadvertantly installed somewhere else.

(update): No, unfortunately. For the record, I made a few more pip installs today, and they are all functioning.

I've looked at pretty well everything here: no $PATH issues, and no naming conflicts as the package is the only thing on my system (or anywhere) with the name 'blend_modes'.

To resume: Installing through pip (tried also with --no-cache-dir) results in the creation of a 'blend_modes-2.0.1-py3.7.egg-info' folder, and that's it: no accompanying directory (that should contain the "blend_modes.py" file). An attempt to import (into a script) results in a 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'blend_modes'" error.

Installing from source (from here): results in the creation of a 'blend_modes-2.0.1-py3.7.egg' file (when unzipped containing the same files as the above 'egg-info' folder), and no 'blend_modes.py' file, anywhere.

Moving manually the 'blend_modes.py' file to the Python packages directory into a 'blend_modes' directory therein) results in no import error, but when I try to print('blend_modes') (which should return the file path), I get '(namespace)' instead.

Only manually moving the blend_modes.py file to the Packages directory root (without an enclosing 'blend_modes' folder) worked.

This sure is odd, and I do hope it has nothing to do with my setup here, but I tested all I could to remove that hypothesis.

I've just had the same problem when trying to import the module and I installed it using pip as well. I got the message: ImportError: No module named blend_modes.

Same here. Ubuntu 18, python 3.6.7, pip 19.0.3

Thanks @dominikandreas for fixing this. I have tested your fixes, bumped up the version, and distributed it on pypi.

@ThePromenader and @marianabianca, would you kindly confirm if @dominikandreas' modifications fix the issues on your sides, too? Thanks!

For folks reading this thread, please update your blend_modes version to v2.0.2. If you are using pip, this is the command you are looking for: pip install blend_modes --upgrade

[marianabianca]

Now it's working! Thank you @dominikandreas!!

Glad to hear the release fixed the problem. Issue resolved!
