ImportError: cannot import name DfpClient

[Seth Riney]

Hi Folks,

I'm new to python, novice with Dfp API (I have been able to do some things through the ruby API).

I ran the setup and config scripts with no problem, but I get an import error when I run a script from examples.

Is there a PATH environment variable that I need to modify with a directory from the python API directory?

Thanks,

Seth

Hi Seth:

Did you install the dependencies listed here:

http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ads-python/wiki/DFP_README

that are required for this client library?

Thanks,

Hi Vincent,

I am having a similar problem and I believe I have all dependencies installed correctly. To confirm, I have ran the setup.py's for PyXML, ZSI, and the dfp client library, in addition to the config.py for the dfp library. this is wildly peculiar as I have successfully set this up on other machines.

Best,
Vish

Hi Vish:

What versions of Python, the dependencies, and the DFP client library are you using? What OS are you on? Lastly, can you post the stack trace for the error you are getting?

And please double-check the README again just in case:

Python verions: Python 2.6.6
Dependecies: PyXML-0.8.4, ZSI-2.1-a1
OS: This install is on a Red Hat 4.4.6-4 machine

Is this what you where looking for as the requested error?

  File "get_user.py", line 29, in <module>

    from adspygoogle import DfpClient
ImportError: cannot import name DfpClient

Attached is a list of python modules installed.

Thanks,
Vish

What version of the Ads Python client library are you using? And what version of fpconst do you have installed?

Can you double-check that the install script for adspygoogle worked properly by running python and then trying to import "adspygoogle".

Also, when testing can you run get_all_networks.py example instead of get_user.py or any other example since it's the simplest.

Thanks,

FYI - for anybody else reading this thread, the problem was that he didn't have fpconst installed.
