SyntaxError: "Cannot use import statement outside a module" - JavaScript in Python

Question

Problem Statement

I am trying to run a JavaScript code inside Python using stpyv8 . However, I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bobby/uni_balances_stpyv8/main.py", line 4, in <module>
    output = ctxt.eval("""
SyntaxError: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module (  @ 3 : 0 )  -> import { JSBI } from "@uniswap/sdk";

I do have a package.json file and my hunch is that the Python code isn't considering the json file because the error above is actually solved by the package.json file Fixing module error in JS :

{
  "type": "module",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/cli": "^7.19.3",
    "@babel/core": "^7.20.2",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.20.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@uniswap/sdk": "^3.0.3",
    "ethers": "^5.7.2"
  }
}

I do have package.json

The JavaScript does run and outputs the following:

Again going back to my hunch, is it possible that Python isn't able to recognize the package.json in my project folder?

Answer 1

I think you need to do what is described in nodejs-convert-from-import-to-require

so change:

import { JSBI } from "@uniswap/sdk";
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
import * as fs from 'fs';

to

const { JSBI } = require ("@uniswap/sdk")
const { ethers } = require ('ethers')
const fs = require('fs')

Answer 2

SyntaxError: "Cannot use import statement outside a module"

this error is clear, you are using import statement in the wrong place. for example, create a test.js file and add only this line of code

 import fs from "fs";

then execute the file with node test.js . you will get this error.

Because when you execute the file with node command it is node.js environment where it supports commonjs not es6 modules .

one solution is to change the file extension from js to mjs . if you change the test.js to test.mjs and run node test.mjs your code will execute successfully.

Second solution is instead of import use this syntax.

 const ethers = require('ethers');

Third solution is add this to package.json file

 "type": "module"
