Cannot import a function from a module in python

Question

I'm using this code.

from azlyrics import artists
print(artists("O"))

In the module named 'azlyrics' the function 'artists' is well defined. But I get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\python\eminem\New folder\azlyrics-master\examples\get_artists.py", line 1, in <module>
 from azlyrics import artists
ImportError: cannot import name 'artists' from 'azlyrics' (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\azlyrics\__init__.py)

What could be the problem?

• User: I installed azlyrics via pip. It is in Python/3.7/Lib/site-packages
• User: In the module named 'azlyrics' the function 'artists' is well defined.

Answer 1

There must be a bug in the azlyrics documentation or packaging.

This works:

>>> from azlyrics.azlyrics import artists
>>> artists("O")
'["Oakenfold, Paul", "Oakes, Ryan", "Oak Ridge Boys,
The", "Oak, Winona", "O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)", "Oasis", "Obel, Agnes", "Oberst, ...]'

There is a mistake in azlyrics v1.3.2, relative import should be used in azlyrics/__init__.py:

instead of:

from azlyrics import *

we should have:

from .azlyrics import *

This is fixed but a release is not done.

• User: Thank you. Could you please elaborate the problem sot it can be fixed.
• Laurent LAPORTE: @ASWINVENU, are you the author of this lib? No sure I have time for that...
• User: No I'm not. But if you can't spare time you could just give me the keyword related to the bug so I can search the web.
• Laurent LAPORTE: @ASWINVENU, see this commit: github.com/adhorrig/azlyrics/commit/…
