ModuleNotFoundError about portalocker

[wolph]

Sounds like you don't have portalocker installed in that case. Installing could help

[MMK21Hub]

Haha. I have done pip install portalocker.

[wolph]

My guess would be that you've installed it for a different python version, some python installations don't come with pip which cause these weird issues.

Try this: python -m pip install -U portalocker

[MMK21Hub]

The command outputs:

Requirement already up-to-date: portalocker in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (1.7.0)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: pywin32!=226; platform_system == "Windows" in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from portalocker) (228)

and the issue still persists.

Do you have a local file named portalocker by any chance? Something like that could cause these issues

[MMK21Hub]

No possibly problematic folder names. Even running it from the command line gives an error. However, in Python 2 it works fine.

[wolph]

You can look at the output from importlib, perhaps it sheds a little light as to what is being imported:

import importlib
print(importlib.util.find_spec('portalocker'))

[MMK21Hub]

It doesn't look like that helped much:

========================= RESTART: D:/!TEMP/fsgrb.py =========================
None

[wolph]

Well... I'm a bit stumped. You could try from a different directory

Or you can simply download the all-in-one portalocker.py file from the releases: https://github.com/WoLpH/portalocker/releases/download/v1.7.0/portalocker.py

[MMK21Hub]

Weird.

Python doesn't seem to be able to import some of the other modules in portalocker.py either. (It can do things like os fine though.) Oh well. Thanks for your replies!
