ImportError: cannot import name 'validate' from jsonschema

Question

I'm quite new in python and faced this issue after the manual installation of the new jsonschema dependency.

$ python /var/www/html/graylog.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/html/graylog.py", line 18, in <module>
    from jsonschema import validate
ImportError: cannot import name 'validate'

Python version 3.6.8

This is the current pip list

Answer 1

Try to update the jsonSchema version that often solves the error especially if it's been installed manually

pip install --upgrade jsonschema

It may also be that the python that you are using in your environment may point to a different version that does not contain the jsonSchema module. Try

python3 /var/www/html/graylog.py
