no module named error

[martinberoiz]

Hello,

Right after installing yagmail with pip install I get this error as soon as I import the module:

import yagmail
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yagmail/init.py", line 6, in
from .yagmail import SMTP
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yagmail/yagmail.py", line 16, in
from .validate import validate_email_with_regex
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yagmail/validate.py", line 31, in
from yagmail.error import YagInvalidEmailAddress
ImportError: No module named error

What could this be?

Could you try rerunning it with pip install -U yagmail? I thought this should be solved by now by using from __future__ import absolute_import at the top of the script in the latest update. It also seems like it passes the tests on python 2.7 (see Travis CI).

[martinberoiz]

Oh, ok. It must be just me then. I tried with -U option but didn't work either.
Thanks.

[kootenpv]

Actually, thanks for raising an issue! It apparently wasn't working for Python 2.7

I guess somehow the test didn't catch it.

It has been rolled back, so now you can for sure install it (but it certainly bothers me that it doesn't look nice).

Let me know if it works, then I'll close it.

Hello, I have installed yagmail via

sudo pip3 install yagmail

on my system. I am getting an ImportError with no module of that name. Any ideas?

###IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM THIS INSTALLS TO PYTHON 3.5 ON UBUNTU ###

@wingnut2626 Try to update to a newer version perhaps: sudo pip3 install -U yagmail

Hello,

I had a similar issue, solved by using sudo.

I used:
sudo pip install yagmail

In the yagmail GIT page, probably the instructions should have:

sudo pip install yagmail
sudo pip3 install yagmail

[kootenpv]

@guigashm Strange, I'm able to install without sudo on a new system. I'm out of ideas. But I took your advice into the README at the errors section. Thanks for posting.

I would suggest not using sudo to pip install anything. Do you have another file called error.py?

Doing the following works on Debian 9:

• virtualenv -p python3 yagmail_venv
• ~/yagmail_venv/bin/pip install yagmail
• python3
• import yagmail

[kootenpv]

I think this is not an issue anymore? Feel free to reopen.

Yeah, it started to happen again:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yagmail'

Didn't happen last year. though. I installed it via pip3 install yagmail. pip3 install -U yagmail does not help at all.

Did you try python3 afterwards, i.e. the same version as pip3
