Python fails to import SharePlum, even though it is installed correctly

Question

Trying to use SharePlum, but getting this error when importing:-

>>> from shareplum import Office365
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/myac/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shareplum/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from .office365 import Office365  # noqa: F401
  File "/home/myac/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shareplum/office365.py", line 6, in <module>
    from .request_helper import post
  File "/home/myac/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shareplum/request_helper.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .errors import ShareplumRequestError
  File "/home/myac/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shareplum/errors.py", line 4
    super().__init__(f"{msg} : {details}")

I've installed shareplum, requests, requests-ntlm, requests-toolbelt, and lxml but I keep getting this error.

Any clues?

Answer 1

The Shareplum version that you've installed has been configured on your python 2.7 interpreter(this is your default python version), though the version is 0.5.1, which is not supported on Python2.7: https://pypi.org/project/SharePlum/0.5.1/

Either you downgrade you Shareplum version to the one which is compatible with python2.7 ie https://pypi.org/project/SharePlum/0.3.0/

pip install shareplum==0.3.0

or

Make use of Python3 and install latest shareplum for that:

pip3 install shareplum

And when running terminal or the script, please make use of python3 binary instead of python
