ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter' #6

Open tomtom1337 opened 1 year ago

Hi and thanks for the great work!

I've got an issue with loading the local twitter module from the modules folder:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poastal.py", line 7, in <module>
    from twitter import twitter_email
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter'

Workaround for me was to add the modules folder to the import command in the poastal.py

#import modules
from modules.twitter import twitter_email

And now it's working :)

Recommendation is to install your dependencies into a virtual environment

This does not solve my issue... still No module named 'twitter'. The only solution is to add modules. to load the local modules correctly

Can you reproduce how did you install the project requirements for us?

jakecreps commented 1 year ago

Did you change any folder names?

sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('./modules'))

This should import the location of all of the modules into the script.

I've tried it on a fresh installation of Linux Mint 21.1 in Virtual Box:

v@v-VirtualBox:~$ lsb_release -a

    from twitter import twitter_email
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter'

I've added print(sys.path) to check if the sys.path.append is working:

['/home/v/poastal/backend', '/usr/lib/python310.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.10', '/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload', '/home/v/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages', '/home/v/poastal/modules']

Only solution is to load all the local modules with from modules.xxx import xxx

weird. Was trying to troubleshoot why I never get a prompt to enter an email and I did notice this...

If I run the poastal.py from the poastal directory like this then I get this module error. But if I cd into backend and then run it it seems to start fine (but I can never find a place to enter the email as the web page just shows "no email provided."

$ python ./backend/poastal.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/poastal/./backend/poastal.py", line 7, in from twitter import twitter_email ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter'

vs

$ python ./poastal.py

tomtom1337 commented 1 year ago

So the problem is that if you don't run poastal.py from the backend folder itself it throws the ModuleNotFoundError because it looks for .../poastal/modules instead of .../poastal/backend/modules

So you may close this issue or you can add my workaround modules.xxxx to run poastal.py from anywhere 😄
