dotenv.load 'module' object has no attribute 'load'

[jeremiahtenbrink]

White going through the tutorial on ubuntu server trying to do the command screen python streaming.py I originally got the error import request not available. after installing python reqest, no clue how I figured that one out, I got the error dotenv not included. did the same as before and now i'm getting the error listed above in the title section. I used pip install dotenv. Uninstalled that one and then used pip install python-dotenv. still no luck. tried django python dotenv. still no luck. I must be doing something wrong. Please help.

Do you have pip installed and up to date?

there is another option as well, which is the non-streaming version, I made a note about it on the first article.

I get the same error.

python streaming.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "streaming.py", line 90, in <module>
    main()
  File "streaming.py", line 86, in main
    demo(displayHeartbeat)

    dotenv.load()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'load'

pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

Observing exactly same pattern - Didn't have requests module and later dotenv module and later no dotenv.load . Did any of you got to debug this issue?

[aleksajovanovic]

i have made progress on the above error but have run into more. As per dotenv documentation you must now load your .env file like this dotenv_path = join(dirname(__file__), '.env') load_dotenv(dotenv_path)

[aleksajovanovic]

ok so i fixed a few more errors. The imports need to look like this import requests import json import os from os.path import join, dirname from dotenv import load_dotenv from optparse import OptionParser

and the code for getting the oanda access tokens needs to look like this

access_token = os.getenv('OANDA_TOKEN') account_id = os.getenv('OANDA_ACCOUNT')

[aleksajovanovic]

sorry for the bad formatting

[jerome-shiftleft]

is this fixed already?

[tugudush]

I don't have experience with python and I'm getting the same error. Is there a fix for this already? what's the correct format? because as what I'v heard python is strict about spacing and formatting.

[marcosaccioly]

@aleksajovanovic pointed in the right direction, but I still wasn't able to fix it. In order to properly fix it, here's what I did:

1. Install requests through as per this article. $ sudo pip install requests;
2. Used the correct dotenv library. You must install sudo pip install python-dotenv. Turns out I had installed it through sudo pip install dotenv and that did not work. See here.
3. Edited the streaming.py code to match the correct usage of python-dotenv. I have used

from os.path import join, dirname
from dotenv import load_dotenv

dotenv_path = join(dirname(__file__), '.env')
load_dotenv(dotenv_path)

# load the ENV variables as already done in streaming.py

You probably installed the wrong dotenv for python. I had the same issue, it was resolved by uninstalling my previously installed dotenv and using this command (as described in the readme): pip install python-env.

[joeldg]

as Jeppe says, use https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv

[webfaqtory]

I can confirm that pip uninstall python-dotenv and then pip install python-env fixed the problem
