Hi, we get this error with Python 3.4 and 3.5:

Please update your requirements.


What is the problem? We didn't update our requirements recently.

Thanks,
Uri.

I came across this error this morning.

In my case I was running a script that did this: “pip install fake-factory”

The install worked properly but then I couldn’t import the library (with the same error message as you).

I had to update the pip install command to say “pip install Faker” and then everything worked as before.

The authors appear to have forced a name change: https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/fake-factory/faker/__init__.py <https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/fake-factory/faker/__init__.py>

I’ve just checked and if you pin your requirements (e.g. pip install fake-factory==0.7.4) then it still works.

Thank you, I found out that pip freeze returned more packages than what we
had in our requirements.txt file, so I upgraded them and added them to the
file. I also upgraded to Faker==0.7.7
