Python env - ImportError: cannot import name

Question

I use a third-party source checked out from svn.

It was building and running fine. But while creating a deploy script, I may have executed some cmd after which I keep getting error

ImportError: cannot import name XXX

where XXX changes randomly.

I think my environment on Mac may be corrupted.

How can I find and resolve the issue?

Try using a virtual environment. For example, virtualenv. Once you create a virtual environment, activate it via source env/bin/activate and install all of the dependencies via pip install . You can start to narrow it down from there.
