no module named exceptions in Python error, need help! I know how to solve this locally using pip install python-docx for Python3, but no idea how to do it in Pipedream
It seems like you’re trying to use the python-docx package within a Pipedream Python code step and encountering an import error. In Pipedream, you don’t need to use pip to install packages. Instead, you can directly import the package in your Python code step. Here’s how you can use python-docx in a Pipedream Python code step: from docx import Document def handler(pd: "pipedream"): # Your code using python-docx here doc = Document() doc.add_paragraph('Hello, world!') doc_path = "/tmp/hello.docx" doc.save(doc_path) # To return a file, you must return the path to the file return doc_path In the example above, you can see that the docx module is imported directly, and there’s no need for pip install. Also, note that when dealing with files in Pipedream, you should save them to the /tmp directory, which is the only writable directory in the Pipedream environment. If you’re still encountering issues or have specific requirements for your workflow, please provide more details so I can assist you further.
know, but this raises an error called “no module named exceptions”
The error “no module named exceptions” suggests that your Pipedream workflow is trying to import a module named exceptions that isn’t available in the Pipedream Python runtime environment. This could be due to a few reasons: 1. The exceptions module is part of a third-party library that isn’t included in the Pipedream Python environment by default. 2. There is a typo or incorrect import statement in your code. 3. The code is expecting a Python 2.x style exceptions module, which has been integrated into the built-in Exception class in Python 3.x. To resolve this issue, you’ll need to check the following: - Ensure that you’re using the correct import statement for the Python version you’re working with in Pipedream. - If the exceptions module is part of a third-party library, you may need to find an alternative that is compatible with the Pipedream environment or request the addition of the library to Pipedream’s Python runtime. If you can provide the specific part of your code where the error occurs or more context about the exceptions module you’re trying to use, I can give you more targeted advice on how to resolve the issue.
the package name is python-docx and the import is docx. Can you show me how to add the magic comment to add the python-docx package?
To use the python-docx package in a Pipedream Python code step, you can add a magic comment at the beginning of your code to specify the package and its version. Here’s an example of how you can do it: ```
``` In the example above, the magic comment # pdm install python-docx==0.8.10 tells Pipedream to install the python-docx package at version 0.8.10. You can adjust the version number as needed for your use case. After adding this comment, you can import and use the docx module in your Python code step.
that’s not the correct magic comment. Search your sources for pipedream add-package
To add the python-docx package to your Pipedream Python code step, you should use the following magic comment: ```
Replace `sqlite3` with `python-docx` to specify the package you want to include:
``` This magic comment tells Pipedream to install the python-docx package so that it can be used in your Python code step.
Not sure why Pi is hallucinating so much on this one but you should be able to add:
# pipedream add-package python-docx
At the top of your code. See https://pipedream.com/docs/code/python/import-mappings/#using-magic-comments for more info
thank you, i read your reply and resorted to the python documentation on your website and i can confirm that this did work
