Question

from python prompt:

>>> import avro
>>> import avro.schema
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'avro.schema'

>>> print(avro)
<module 'avro' (namespace)>

AttributeError: module 'avro' has no attribute 'schema'

specs:

• virtualenv activated and avro got pip installed

is avro maintained or should i use fastavro, how to solve above, cant run basic examples from quickstart

Answer 1

Check your requirements.
It might be avro==1.8.2
The above error was coming for this requirement.
Changing the requirement to: avro-python3==1.8.2 solved the problem for me.

Used pip install avro-python3 instead of pip install avro
