ImportError: cannot import name Ghost

Question

I know there are similar questions, but I could not find a solution for this one. Here is what I have done.

I installed the ghost module using pip. The site-packages/ghost folder has 3 files __init__.py, ghost.py and test.py.

__init__.py has the following content

from ghost import Ghost
from test import GhostTestCase

module suggests the method

from ghost import Ghost

But it throws the following error.

File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    from ghost import ghost
  File "G:\Python33\lib\site-packages\ghost\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ghost import Ghost
ImportError: cannot import name Ghost

I tried adding the path to PYTHONPATH; it didn't work. I can't figure out why it is happening with a standard module.I am working in python 3.3

Answer 1

With Python 3, try changing that line in __init__.py to

from .ghost import Ghost

to do a package-relative import. If that works, it's a bug in the module and you should report it.

Answer 2

What was you pip command line? Should be pip install Ghost.py and not pip install ghost
