I am trying to run a python script, but I get this error:
from iso639 import languages
ImportError: cannot import name 'languages'
I have installed iso639, but I still get this error.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Was there something else I had to install?
There are 2 similarly named packages:
iso639 (pip install from PyPi, source code at Github)iso-639 (pip install from PyPi, source code at Github)You can check each package's PyPi and Github page to confirm which one you need.
But it seems what you are looking for is the iso-639 package (with the hyphen). Because its __init.py__ file has an importable languages module:
"""
Python library for ISO 639 standard

"""
from __future__ import absolute_import
from iso639.iso639 import Iso639
__version__ = '0.4.5'
languages = Iso639()
So make sure to install iso-639
$ python3 -m pip install iso-639
...
Installing collected packages: iso-639
Successfully installed iso-639-0.4.5
$ python3
...
>>> import iso639
>>> dir(iso639)
[... 'iso639', 'languages']
>>> from iso639 import languages
>>>
(Make sure to uninstall the other one, because both are imported as from iso639).
