I had a simple app up and running that used the PyGui package. After I decided I had everything working I refactored my code and basically broke it up over multiple files, but I am fairly sure I did not change the location of any files. Now when I try to run my app It gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "blobedit.py", line 16, in <module>
    from GUI import Application, ScrollableView, Document, Window, Cursor, rgb
  File "/Users/<myusername>/Desktop/BlobEdit/GUI/__init__.py", line 54, in <module>
    raise ImportError("Unable to find an implementation of PyGUI for this installation")
ImportError: Unable to find an implementation of PyGUI for this installation

I have tried moving files around for weeks and can't find the problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

You have a directory GUI and inside it __init__.py, this makes the directory an importable package.

Unfortunately, PyGUI also provides a GUI package. Due to the way Python searches for packages to import, your GUI has come up first and this is what is causing problems.

The simple way to solve it is to rename your GUI directory /Users/Destkop/BlobEdit/GUI to something else.

  • Thanks for the help. I tried that but it didn't seem to work. There is a good chance I did it wrong though. When I get a chance I am going to try simply installing the package with pip and see how that goes. – user4203466 Apr 07 '16 at 06:45
