Can't debug Python script in PyCharm 5.0: `AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'default_getpass'`

Question

I have PyCharm Community Edition 5.0

I copy/pasted the code from this answer in a file called toolbars.py . If I run it, I get a KeyError: 'offer_urls' .

So I wanted to try to debug the script in PyCharm. I right-clicked on the script, selected Debug 'toolbars' but then I got the following error output in the console window:

C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 5.0\helpers\pydev\pydevd.py" --multiproc --qt-support --client 127.0.0.1 --port 57391 --file C:/Users/BioGeek/Documents/temp/toolbars.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 5.0\helpers\pydev\pydevd.py", line 11, in <module>
    from pydevd_breakpoints import * #@UnusedWildImport
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 5.0\helpers\pydev\pydevd_breakpoints.py", line 15, in <module>

    fix_getpass.fixGetpass()
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 5.0\helpers\pydev\fix_getpass.py", line 9, in fixGetpass
    fallback = getpass.default_getpass # <= 2.5
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'default_getpass'

Process finished with exit code 1

This seems to me like there is an error/bug in the code for PyCharm itself. How can I resolve this so that I can debug the script?

Answer 1

My problem was that I had a file called getpass.py in the folder where my toolbar.py script was located. So that file was imported instead of the getpass module.
