Error runing Python run.py - ImportError: cannot import name 'json_util'

MongoDB University M220P: MongoDB for Python Developers
#1

Hello.
I’m using file README.rst in step “Running the Application”, when I try install “python run.py” have a problem:

error

Additional:

  • I installed requirements “pip install -r requirements.txt”
  • I executed “ren dotini_win .ini”

I hope you can help me, thanks!

Run.py and json_util error - what's wrong?

Did you also configure the required settings in .ini? :wink:

It’s interesting that Python remarks that it cannot find the “bson” module. That should be available if you followed all the installation instructions in README.txt.

#3

Did you pip install bson manually? The bson package overwrites the pymongo bson package. There is a conflict. If it is the case, you could uninstall both bson and pymongo and reinstall pymongo again.

Ugh, they (pymongo) overloaded onto an existing module name? :frowning:

It is a know issue for long time. PyPI didn’t fix this conflict between two projects. Or maybe they think it is easy to fix if you know it.

Thanks =) . Yes, I was reviewing and it’s true, I installed bson manually then installed README.rst.

Hello nayamama.

Thanks, but now I have this problem:
error2

I’m thinking of starting from scratch, Uninstall Anaconda would be a good idea?

#8

Well, you didn’t have to uninstall pymongo, you actually need it :wink: pymongo = “python + mongo”…

Hello.

I uninstalled and installed Anaconda, then continue steps of README.rst and now hadn’t problems :smile: :
error3

Thanks for your comments.
