ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plyer.utils'; 'plyer' is not a package

[Assi Oz]

Hi guys,

Been struggling with this message when trying to execute a short simple Python script for getting Windows Popup notification box.

When executing I get this in the command line window : 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\Desktop\PY\plyer.py", line 1, in <module>

    from plyer.utils import platform

  File "C:\Users\Desktop\PY\plyer.py", line 1, in <module>

    from plyer.utils import platform

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plyer.utils'; 'plyer' is not a package

Plyer is installed. also re-installed,. tries many versions of it but nothing.

Can anyone assist please?

Try from plyer import utils; platform = utils.platform.

Now i got : 

ImportError: cannot import name 'utils' from partially initialized module 'plyer' (most likely due to a circular import)

This is the script :

from plyer import utils; platform = utils.platform

#from plyer.utils import platform

from plyer import notification

notification.notify(

    title='Here is the title',

    message='Here is the message',

    app_name='Here is the application name',

This suggests an installation problem.

Are you using a venv?  Did you activated the venv when you pip installed plyer?  If you run pip list, do you see plyer?

 

I ran the notification example on Windows without any error.

Thanks Elliot

Is VENV mandatory to execute plyer?

I do have plyer when running pip list

No it is not required. 

I use venv as recommended in the kivy install directions. 

Are you sure you are using the environment that includes plyer?

As I`m a beginner I`ll tell you what I did so far :

1) installed Python 3.9

2) Saved a file with the script sent here

3) executed  pip install plyer

4) executed python filename.py

anything missed...?

by the way - in the link you provided i just took the  main.py file and executed.

Do I need anything from the other files in that link?

buildozer.spec

notificationdemo.kv

plyer-icon.ico

plyer-icon.png

Follow the kivy install directions. 

What platform are you on? Windows, Mac…

Did you install Python from Python.org?

Have you set the Python path?

For Plyer the examples are the documentation (which sucks), try

https://github.com/kivy/plyer/tree/master/examples/notification

[Assi Oz]

I`m using Windows 10

installed Python from Python.org

I have just set the Python path (anything needed after doing that? any restart of anything?)

Downloaded the below files to same folder as the script :

notificationdemo.kv

plyer-icon.ico

plyer-icon.png

Still same error....

 ImportError: cannot import name 'notification' from partially initialized module 'plyer' (most likely due to a circular import)

Thanks Robert ! we are dealing with the same link you sent.

Maybe I`m missing something here?

SHould i just download all files included in that link, put in same folder and execute main.py?

I just tried the example (all the files) on Windows and no errors,

Best guess there is a Python or Plyer install issue, which is what Elliot said.

Probably the Python install, I'm not  the person to do sys admin for you.

If this is the issue you will run into it again with some other pip package.

That said the example didn't do anything, just take input and hang.

My view of Plyer is it is a Potemkin Village, only sometimes is there something that is tested behind each facade.

If it works great, otherwise don't waste your time expecting it to work if you just......

[Alexander Taylor]

You named your file plyer.py, so when you import plyer that's what you get.

Name it something else instead.

[Assi Oz]

This is Unbelievable the file name was the issue !!!!!!

God damn....thank you so much Alex
