Cannot import CoinAPIv1 with Python

[tionebrr]

Hello folks,

Here is my commands list

cd <project>
virtualenv <project_env>
source ./<project_env>/bin/activate
pip3 install coinapi.rest.v1 # no issue here
git clone https://github.com/coinapi/coinapi-sdk/data-api/python-rest/coinapi_rest_v1
cd <coinapi-sdk/data/python/coinapi_rest_v1>
python example.py <API_KEY>

Which results in

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "examples.py", line 1, in <module>
    from coinapi_rest_v1 import CoinAPIv1
ImportError: cannot import name 'CoinAPIv1' from 'coinapi_rest_v1' (/home/user/Development/project/project_env/lib/python3.8

Tested on Arch (python 3.8.6) and Windows (python 3.9.0).

Hi @tionebrr

Please try to run the examples directly from the source as the package is probably directly referenced in the examples file.

Hi ! Thanks for the prompt answer !

What you're suggesting is what I'm trying actually (unless I'm missing something?). I'm here:

$ pwd 
/home/btrr/Development/pythonTrading/coinapi-sdk/data-api/python-rest/coinapi_rest_v1 
$ python examples.py
Traceback (most recent call last):    
  File "examples.py", line 1, in <module>  
    from coinapi_rest_v1 import CoinAPIv1 
ImportError: cannot import name 'CoinAPIv1' from 'coinapi_rest_v1' (/home/btrr/Development/pythonTradingFish/fish/lib/python3.8/site-packages/coinapi_rest_v1/__init__.py)     

I see the python-rest folder is in the data-api subfolder which does not appear in the documentation. Could that be an issue?
