导入python包-初学者问题

Question

I downloaded a package online from https://pypi.org/project/Random-Word/#description its a random English word file. I downloaded it using pip install. it is a .whl file when downloaded. However in the project description he lists his basic usage as a .py file... I'm not sure how to import it into my program because its installed as a .whl file and the module isn't found when I try to import it.

Is there a way to convert .whl files to .py files in order for my program to see it as a module, be able to import it and use it in a program? or is there a better way of doing this?

Answer 1

If you installed it like this:

pip(3) install random-word

Create a .py file and place the following in it:

from random_word import RandomWords
r = RandomWords()
print(r.get_random_word())

Then run the PY file:

python(3) <file>.py

Essentially, you need to import RandomWords from the random_word directory, instead if just import RandomWords
