gerapy init failed complaining cannot import name 'version'

[matifayaz]

I've recently installed gerapy on a Python 3.6.3 virtual environment. After successful installation I executed:
gerapy init

and got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/muhammad/development/virtualenvs/py3-pocs/bin/gerapy", line 7, in
from gerapy.cmd import cmd
File "/home/muhammad/development/virtualenvs/py3-pocs/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gerapy/cmd/init.py", line 14, in
from gerapy import version
ImportError: cannot import name 'version'

@matifayaz, I had the same issue but I was able to run the application by doing the following:
under my site packages located in ~/projects/py36env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gerapy
There is __init__.py and it is empty which I updated as below.
This is how version import issue resolved.

# __init__.py
__version__ = '0.7.0'
    def version():
        return __version__                     

Hope this helps.

Great! Thank you Tariq. It's working now.

Do you have an idea on how can we convert the Chinese to English?

@mtaziz Thanks for your reply, I'm really appreciated.
@matifayaz I'm really sorry that I've removed the version() method from init.py because I tried to use 'VERSION' file to specify version.
Now I've fixed it and upgrade to 0.7.2
You can use upgrade or reinstall it.
I will release alpha, beta version first in the next versions in case of ERROR.
Thanks for your issue~

@matifayaz Hey, I wonder where are you from. I'm Chinese from Beijing, China. 😁 If you feel any inconvenience I'm glad to convert it in the next version.

[matifayaz]

@Germey Thanks a lot for the prompt response and a quick action. I'll try after upgrading to the latest version.
I am from Pakistan :) What would be the quickest way to convert the application to English?

@matifayaz My pleasure:)
@Germey , Thank you so much for your prompt headsup in fixing the version issue.

Despite, the fact that I contacted you over Email on how to run the application , and you responded so promptly informing about howtos and I was able to run the application but since all the button's text in UI happens to be in Chinese, I could not be able to explore on every detail of the project , at least from front-end manipulation point of view.
I very much like the Scrapy Spider Admin panel (Gerapy)/ Scrapy Spider Management Framework.

English Language Support: As you @Germey mentioned, you would love to convert it in English.
I can not thank you enough for being positive about the language conversion. I very much look forward to that.

As a matter of fact, It would have been great addition and convenience for most of the users probably around the globe if we could run the Gerapy like in both language: English -> http://localhost:8000/en and Chinese - > http://localhost:8000/ch. Meaning Gerapy would reach global audience.

I truly appreciate your effort and time in building such UI scrapy spider admin panel.
Patiently looking forward to be in touch with you as dev work goes on and would love to contribute to it within myself.

Thank you:)

Hi, English Support is finished and I'v upgrade Gerapy to 0.7.7, please upgrade it to use.
I've added Chinese/English Support, you can change the language by clicking the button in the top-right corner, and default language is English~
