api call is not working.

File "auth.py", line 3, in
import gitlab
File "D:\DevOps\gitlab\gitlab.py", line 17, in

File "D:\DevOps\gitlab\gitlab.py", line 10, in g1

Hi @jaydip189

It looks like an import conflict. Rename your gitlab.py to something else and it should work.

[jaydip189]

Hi @gpocentek

Renamed auth.py but some how api authentication is not working.I want to create project dynamically.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import gitlab

class gitlab(object):

def g1(self,g1):

  gl = gitlab('https://gitlab.com/', private_token='rUAuB2dWFb')
  g1.auth()

[gpocentek]

You need to use:

gl = gitlab.Gitlab('https://gitlab.com/', private_token='...')

[jaydip189]

@gpocentek but it's unable to fetch gitlab attributes like (e.g create project , create repo)

[gpocentek]

@jaydip189 Could you provide a complete code example that I could use to reproduce the error? And also provide the complete error you're getting.

Without this information I won't be able to help. Thank you.

[jaydip189]

@gpocentek please help me outta of this.I need to only api authentication with github (private token)

This is the entire code of python and getting error AttributeError: module 'gitlab' has no attribute 'Gitlab'
#!/usr/bin/env python

import gitlab

def g1():

gl = gitlab.Gitlab('http://gitlab.com', private_token='xxxxxxxxxx')
g1.auth()

projects = gl.projects.list()
for project in projects:
print(project)

def g1():
print ('Create Project')
print ('Create repo')

def projects():
projects = gl.projects.list(visibility='public')

g1()
projects()

AttributeError: module 'gitlab' has no attribute 'Gitlab': You still have an import problem. You can try this to see which file is imported:

$ python
Python 2.7.14 (default, Sep 23 2017, 22:06:14) 
[GCC 7.2.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gitlab
>>> gitlab
<module 'gitlab' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitlab/__init__.pyc'>
>>>

Make sure that the path displayed is the __init__.py file of the gitlab package, not a file you have written yourself.

[gpocentek]

What does gitlab.Gitlab return in the python shell?

[jaydip189]

g1.auth()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'g1' is not defined

[gpocentek]

gitlab.Gitlab is trying to execute your own code. I don't know what's happening there, but this is not a python-gitlab problem.

The only thing I can think of is that you still have a gitlab.pyc, gitlab.py or gitlab.pyo file somewhere.

[jaydip189]

need to declare variable of g1 right?

[jaydip189]

@gpocentek gitlab api connection is working fine now.Thanks for your help.

[jaydip189]

#!/usr/bin/env python
import gitlab

class gitlab(object):

def g1(self):

gl = gitlab.Gitlab('http://gitlab.com', private_token='3xxxxx')
g1.auth()
gl.projects.list()

class projects(object):
def projects(self):
projects = gl.projects.list ( )
for project in projects:
print (projects)

[jaydip189]

@gpocentek In python shell I'm getting output of project list , groups .but however i'm not getting output when i'm running program.I think projects method will not invoking.

[jaydip189]

I'm calling g1.project.create() method,it gives argument passing error.what i need to pass in argument.

[gpocentek]

You can find project creation examples in the documentation: http://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gl_objects/projects.html

[jaydip189]

project = gl.projects.create({'name': 'project1'}) is not working.it gives data argument error.

File "test.py", line 32, in
gitlab_projects = glab.create_projects()
File "test.py", line 23, in create_projects
return self.gitlab_client.projects.create ( )
File "C:\Users\jaydipsinh.jadeja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\gitlab\exceptions.py", line 251, in wrapped_f

[gpocentek]

I recommend you start with learning python because you are clearly not familiar with the language.

You are facing beginner issues which have nothing to do with python-gitlab.

I don't have the time to help you learn python.

[jaydip189]

Thanks for your help.I will learn python and get back to you if facing any issue with python-gitlab.

just bumped into this one, any ideas what is happening here?

[puzza007]

@kitten77 make sure you've installed python-gitlab rather than gitlab

[kitten77]

Yeah i found that, maybe this is something that should be fixed by renaming the Gitlab() class to PyGitlab() and return a warning deprecated use PyGitlab() ? Just a thought

[graham-macleod]

The issue I had was the python script I was testing with was called gitlab.py. Obiously, if you try to "import gitlab" then your script is going to import itself. Never call the script you're writing the same thing as what you're trying to import.

[skbly7]

This happened with me as well, and I did the follows:

pip install gitlab
pip install python-gitlab
pip uninstall gitlab

But the code wasn't working even after removal of gitlab package. In this case, you need to uninstall and install the python-gitlab again. Not sure why though. I am assuming related to how these packages are setting up after installation might be conflicting in nature.

pip uninstall python-gitlab
pip install python-gitlab

I've just written the following to the maintainer of gitlab package:

Hi Yoginth

We face conflicts with your Python package gitlab, see https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/issues/460#issuecomment-537837892

Do you still maintain that?
If not do you see an option to transfer the name on pypi to the maintainers of python-gitlab to avoid such issues?

Best
Roger

[itmeryn]

rename filename myGitlab if name is gitlab , error is show

[coffeepenbit]

@kitten77 make sure you've installed python-gitlab rather than gitlab

This solved the issue for me. Thanks.
