I have the following problem with my project, help me please! Here is the structure of my package: /pkg /pkg/__init__.py /pkg/sub1/__init__.py /pkg/sub2/__init__.py /pkg/sub1/foo1.py /pkg/sub2/foo2.py Here is implementation of foo1.py: from ..sub2 import foo2 def f(): print("Hello!") When I run foo1 I get error: ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package . I can solve it doing the following adjustment: import sys import os sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.pardir)) from sub2 import foo2 def f(): print("Hello!") But I wonder if there is a way to do it without importing

I use NLTK with wordnet in my project. I did the installation manually on my PC, with pip: pip3 install nltk --user in a terminal, then nltk.download() in a python shell to download wordnet. I want to automatize these with a setup.py file, but I don't know a good way to install wordnet. For the moment, I have this piece of code after the call to setup ( "nltk" is in the install_requires list of the call to setup ): import sys if 'install' in sys.argv: import nltk nltk.download("wordnet") Is there a better way to do this? asmaier I managed to install the NLTK data in setup.py by overriding

Importing a whole package works in IDLE, but not in shell. The following works fine in IDLE: import tkinter as tk tk.filedialog.askopenfilename() In shell, I get this error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'filedialog' I understand that I have to import tkinter.filedialog to make this work in shell. Why the difference between IDLE and shell? How can I make IDLE act like shell? It can be frustrating to have a script working in IDLE, and failing in shell. I am using Python 3.4. This is an IDLE bug which I fixed for future 3.5.3 and 3.6.0a4 releases. Tracker issue. For an

What can we put in a setup.py file to prevent pip from collecting and attempting to install a package when using an unsupported Python version? For example magicstack is a project listed with the trove classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only So I expect the following behaviour if pip --version is tied to python 2.7: $ pip install magicstack Collecting magicstack Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement magicstack (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for magicstack But the actual behavior is that pip collects a release, downloads it, attempts to

I've tried lots of things but still fail when I'm trying to install textract package on my Windows by using pip command. I'm getting the following error: I have no idea what to do, so I'll be really grateful for any advice. Thank you Stolen from here : Needed to first install swig from conda (miniconda) conda install swig Then downloaded the EbookLib 0.15 zip from the releases https://github.com/aerkalov/ebooklib/releases After unzipping it, I manually removed (I used notepad++) the unicode char in the README.md file. (unicode char is on Line 44) And then installed the module with pip. cd to
