No module named 'config'

[SofiaGR]

Hello @normyx ,

I recently found this module and installed all the requirements successfully. However, when I run the command

python tools.capture.py

I always run into the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tools.capture.py", line 9, in <module>
       from lib.tools.capture import ToolsCapture
    File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-OCV3/lib/tools/capture.py", line 20 in <module>
       from config import ToolsConfig
ImportError: No module named 'config'

Do you have any clues what I might be missing?

Thanks!

Hi @SofiaGR

What is your python version. I made the tests with version 2.7 as far as I remember. But it is very strange ... can you check if you have the file /lib/common/config.py ?

Hello @normyx

I'm using python 3.5.3 with opencv 3.3.1.

And I don't have a config.py file in the common folder, besides commonconfig.py. The config file it can't locate is in the /lib/tools. Should it be in lib/common/?

[normyx]

Hi Sorry, I had a wrong analyze. Could you please make a test with python 2.7 ? Do you have the file config.py in lib/tools/ ?

Hello @normyx

At the moment, I only have Opencv built for python 3.5.3. I can compile it for python 2.7 and see how it goes.

The file config.py is in that folder however, but it can't seem to find it. :/

[normyx]

Can you try to put up the import line from config import ToolsConfig just before theimport cv2?

[SofiaGR]

Still the same error when I import cv2 after the config import.

Hi

Sorry, I do not see any more clue, and unfortunately I am not a python expert 🤔

@SofiaGR, download this repository once again. Make sure you have a config.py file in the lib/tools folder

[normyx]

Hi @SofiaGR , did you solve your issue (to clore that thread)?

[SofiaGR]

Going to try downloading this repository again. Couldn't do anything during the weekend since the raspberry was at work.

[SofiaGR]

I downloaded the repository again and verified I do have the config.py file in the lib/tools folder. The error remains the same. You worked on this using python 2.7 and Opencv 3+ right? So I can only assume the issue derives from me using python 3.5.3.

[inderpartap]

Importing a file in Python3 is different. In Python 3 all imports are absolute unless a relative path is given to perform the import from. You will either need to use an absolute or relative import. In line 19of capture.py (lib/tools/capture.py), change it to from .config import ToolsConfig

[SofiaGR]

Annnd just like that it's fixed ^^; I knew it was something related to python 3

Thank you @inderpartap for your help!

And of course thanks as well @normyx :) It appears to be working now o/

Feel free to close this :D

[normyx]

Hi all,

thank you very much. @inderpartap : Do you know how to import in a way to be compatible for python 2.7 and 3.0 ?

Regards

[inderpartap]

Hey @normyx. Giving a relative path for the file is compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x. You can change line 19 in capture.py permanently to - from .config import ToolsConfig. It should work on both the versions without any errors.

[normyx]

Thx, I will try before closing the issue.

@normyx Any updates?

[normyx]

Not yet, no time for this right now ;o)

install Python 2.7 and everything will work fine, python3 pop up errors for me on Pi3, but same code run smooth on 2.7, just follow the instruction as given

[normyx]

No update. No time to update and check with Python 3.X ... sorry !
