Can't import inference

[flamablecharlie]

So using the example, I should be able to use

from nmt-chatbot.inference import inference

But when I try, I get this:

>>> from nmt-chatbot.inference import inference
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    from nmt-chatbot.inference import inference
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import apt
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    import apt_pkg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

Original exception was:
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    from nmt-chatbot.inference import inference
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 

So is there a way to correctly import it?

[umangkr]

just rename the "nmt-chatbot" filename to anything else like "chatbot"
and then use "from chatbot.inference import inference"

That didn't work. :(

Make sure you are not doing this from within the nmt-chatbot folder.

[flamablecharlie]

Completely separate folder. Same result.

That's an unfortunate mistake to use dash in module name.
But with dash replaced with underscore:
from nmt_chatbot.inference import inference
that works for me.

Please doublecheck that.
