ImportError: No module named 'thefuck.entrypoints'

[rigved]

Getting the following error message as soon as .bashrc is evaluated (while opening a Bash shell):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/thefuck", line 7, in <module>
    from thefuck.entrypoints.main import main
ImportError: No module named 'thefuck.entrypoints'

Package was installed on a Ubuntu 16.04 system via "sudo pip3 install thefuck" and .bashrc contains the line "eval $(thefuck --alias)".

Some more details (in case these help):

Try to run sudo pip3 install -U thefuck

[LuckierDodge]

Same situation as @rigved, running in WSL.

I had the same issue on Arch Linux. What solved it for me was to look at where thefuck was imported from:

>>> import thefuck
>>> help(thefuck)
[…]
FILE
    /home/max/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/thefuck/__init__.py
[…]

I don't remember installing it using pip --user, but it ended up there somehow. Getting rid of this copy solved it for me. Maybe this helps @LuckierDodge or @rigved

Tried your test file, got this as output:

@nvbn that also did not help. In fact, in the Bash shell itself, I am getting this error message:

$ thefuck --alias
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/thefuck", line 7, in <module>
    from thefuck.entrypoints.main import main
ImportError: No module named 'thefuck.entrypoints'

@jmtoball this is what I got:

What could this mean? I checked access permissions in the "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/" folder and the "thefuck" folder had the same permissions as other folders. I am not sure what else to check. If it makes any difference, this is happening only on non-GUI systems (on servers). On my personal machine, I'm not facing this issue.

running sudo pip install thefuck again fixed it for me

[markko1]

Ubuntu Bionic (18.04): installing with pip3 (official guide) didn't fix the issue, but good old apt-get install thefuck fixed!

[woinck]

I had the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04. The following steps solved it for me.

Firstly locate where "thefuck" module is installed. For me, it is /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ Then change the permission of "thefuck" folder:

cd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
sudo chmod -R 755 thefuck

https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues/716#issuecomment-339402369 Running Manjaro (Arch Linux) and it worked for me. Thank you!

I had the error at issue after doing an in-place upgrade of Mint 19/3 to Mint 20. I tried sudo pip3 install -U thefuck, opened a new terminal, and gave a fuck. My computer rebooted! Fuck indeed! Or rather perhaps: bloomin' Python. (Edited to fix a formatting mistake and to say, admittedly unhelpfully, the following. TheFuck works now, though I don't know what caused it to start working.)

[isabeaups]

I had the same problem. My problem was that I am using anaconda, so there are many versions of python (and thus potentially thefuck) which can be installed. And when I start a terminal, it is the non-conda version of python which is used to start thefuck before conda is started. So to solve the problem I needed to do: conda deactivate pip install -U thefuck and then again redo pip install in any conda env I want to use it in.
