HELP - ImportError: cannot import name 'Auth' from 'planet' - HELP

[vehlken]

Hello everybody,

first of all I'm new to the planet API and to programming at all. I'm trying to do the tutorial notebooks but get stuck right at the start.

In the "analysis-ready-data"-folder, "ard_1_intro_and_best_practices.ipynb"

when trying to run this chunk
"""
from datetime import datetime
import json
import os
from pathlib import Path
from pprint import pprint
import time
from zipfile import ZipFile
import planet

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.colors as colors
from planet import Auth
from planet import Session, DataClient, OrdersClient, data_filter, order_request
import rasterio
from rasterio import plot
from shapely.geometry import MultiPolygon, shape
"""
in the "analysis-ready-data"-folder, "ard_1_intro_and_best_practices.ipynb"-notebook

i get this error message:

"""

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
11 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

14 from planet import Session, DataClient, OrdersClient, data_filter, order_request
15 import rasterio

ImportError: cannot import name 'Auth' from 'planet' (/opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/planet/init.py)

"""

I'm on windows OS and use the JupyterNotebooks in a docker container as recommended here "https://github.com/planetlabs/notebooks"

i tried to use the "auth" command in other notebooks and also in a seperate PyCharm-environment but always fail to import or find the command.

Did anyone face the same issue or got an idea what I'm doing wrong?

with kind regards,

Leon

Hi Leon,

Thanks for your message. What version of the planet package are you using? You should be on some version of 2.0, as the previous 1.0 version did not use the Auth module. You can learn more about how to get started with our Planet SDK using this Quick Start Guide.

Good evening mkshah605,

thank you for your answer. I were running the notebook inside the recommended docker container. It turned out that the planet package provided there is on version 1.5.0.2 or something. I set up an new environment outside the docker container now and installed planet 2.+ and everything ist working fine now for me.

That's great to hear! Glad you got it working. We are working on updating the instructions, including package requirements, for this repo to be more current and accessible so issues like this can be avoided in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

This worked for me when I had a similar issue:
