ployly module not found error.

[BradRR]

Hi, i'm quite new to this but have been having problems getting anything to run as any example i run comes up with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly'.
I have installed various versions of plotly to try and get it to work but it hasn't. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey @BradRR ,

Thanks for the report! This seems like you're having a problem more generally with getting Python packages to import.

To see if this is an AeroSandbox-specific issue, try importing plotly in a new python terminal - if it also fails, this is a broader issue.

import plotly

Can let me know what the result of this is, and can you confirm that you have pip-installed AeroSandbox?

[BradRR]

Thanks,
The issue does seem like a wider problem as when I try import plotly it comes up with the same error. I can confirm that i have pip-installed AeroSandbox. I will try and look for a solution to fixing plotly.

import plotly
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in
import plotly
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly'

Sounds good - good luck!

Try doing

pip install plotly -I

It will reinstall it ignoring what's already installed.

I have found that the problem is that the import directory is not including pip. I found this and I'm not sure it's entirely correct. I tried importing other modules from the pip list and it wont do that either.
Thank you for helping, I understand that this Isn't a problem with aerosandbox.

import pkgutil
search_path = ['.'] # set to None to see all modules importable from sys.path
all_modules = [x[1] for x in pkgutil.iter_modules(path=search_path)]
print(all_modules)
