since 0.7.1 having trouble with the package

[darenr]

On both my mac and linux machines I have the same problem with 0.7.1

from text.blob import TextBlob
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "text.py", line 5, in
from text.blob import TextBlob
ImportError: No module named blob

my sys.path does not contain the textblob module

import sys
for p in sys.path:
... print p

despite it being there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and tried all sorts of things:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/text:
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/textblob-0.7.1-py2.7.egg-info:

I've verified the init.py doesn't have odd characters. if I change to the /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/text folder I am able to import:

mbpdar:deaas daren$ cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/text
mbpdar:text daren$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)

from text.blob import TextBlob

I cannot figure out what changed that might cause this.

Thanks in advance

Hi Daren,

Can you try running which python in your shell?

It appears that you have two python installations on your system. I think what might be happening is that one of your installations has TextBlob and the other does not. When you run the python shell, it uses the python that does not have TextBlob.

[darenr]

I think I am running the right version of python

mbpdar:deaas daren$ which python
/usr/bin/python

even if I run

Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin

from text.blob import TextBlob
ImportError: No module named blob

I get the same error and it's 2.7.2 version that's being run. The other
packages in my site-packages are being loaded, there's just something
special about TextBlob. I checked it's not file permissions already and
this worked in 0.7.0. I've wracked my brains as to what this might be. If i
run python -v I see

import readline # dynamically loaded from
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/readline-6.2.4.1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/readline.so

and so on, so other eggs are getting read from the right location.
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages is where my textblob egg is. This
happened at the same time on both my laptop (mac) and linux work desktop,
so it appears not to be machine type specific.

Do you get the same result when installing TextBlob in a virtualenv?

Also, try running python -v -c "import text"

You should see something similar to this

import text # directory /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/text
# /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/text/__init__.pyc matches /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/text/__init__.py
import text # precompiled from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/text/__init__.pyc

somewhere in the output

[darenr]

yes. I just installed a brand new virtual box, ubuntu 13.04, I added curl
and setuptools, then pip, then installed textbob and...

That is strange. I will try to reproduce this on another machine within the next few days. Does this happen with any of your other installed packages?

[darenr]

thanks,I appreciate it. I don't see this with other packages.

Also, do you get the same error if you uninstall 0.7.1 then install 0.7.0?

[darenr]

I just tried this on the virtualbox vm and that too didn't work. Same
error. I verified that in my python2.7 dist-packages folder there is
PyYAML, textblob...egg-info, text and yaml, but even 0.7.0 doesn't work.
Since it was working maybe something was removed? Where I've seen this in
the past is the text folder not having, or have a "corrupt" init.py,
but I don't see anything wrong at all. Am I the only one having this
problem? If so you could close it and I'll just have to figure it out, but
I wonder if I am the only one since a brand new vm exhibits the same
problem, as well as two other machines, it seems unlikely that it's
dependent on my specific setup.

I just tried installing textblob 0.7.1 on three different machines that were immediately available: Mac OS 10.7 with Python 2.7.5, Mac OSX 10.8 with Python 2.7.2, and Red Hat Linux with Python 2.6.2. I did not see the error at all. This will be difficult to diagnose without being able to reproduce the problem. I will keep the issue open for now and will continue trying to reproduce it. Please let me know if you make any progress.

[darenr]

thank Steven, I just found the problem, and it was my fault. I had at some
point created a file called text.py, even though I renamed it the .pyc
remained and this caused the search path to fail to find your packages. I
shouldn't have named my source file text.py, but it may also make sense to
rename your package to something less likely to clash, maybe "blobtext",
either way it's my fault and sorted out now.

OK, good to hear you found the problem. You are correct that text is not a very good namespace. I will likely change this in 1.0.
