Pythonnet: Clr import system no module named System

[satanasss]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use to do an import System in my python code but it won't work.

Here is what I do:
Import clr
Import System

inportError: No module named System

So I tried a clr.AddReference, same thing, "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AddReference'

Have you guys already had this pb ? Do you need more info ?

Thanks in advance

Where did you get this Clr version 1.0.2?
Is it this package?

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clr/1.0.3

If yes, you need to uninstall this clr package to use pythonnet, because
both packages have a name clash.

You can also try using importlib to import clr from pythonnet with full
path provided to clr.pyd.

Wow thanks for the quick answer ! Indeed getting rid of clr and reinstalling pyhtonnet fixed the stuff.

Many thanks guys !

In retrospective we should have registered that package name in PyPi

[denfromufa]

I think there is a way to "complain" to pypi members, so that this clashing is resolved.

This clr package is only about one month old.

But let's wait over the weekends, if the author responds.

I've pinged him again to get to a decision: https://github.com/lmittmann/clr/issues/1

In case he does not want to give up the name we should:

• Add information to our README.md that one must make sure that pythonnet installed via pip
• Add the same information to our pypi channel and homepage

In case he does:

• We have to grab the clr name on pypi and essentially alias it to pythonnet, for example by putting a package there that prints a warning and depends on pythonnet

[filmor]

@denfromufa @vmuriart I have added you as owners of the clr package on PyPI. I don't have the time to finish the work there right now, so here's the TODO list :)

• [ ] Put up a new package information page that is basically our usual README but adds a disclaimer that the previously listed package is now called style and that the "real" name of the Python.NET package is pythonnet
• [ ] Create a small package (i.e. setup.py) within our git-repo that only depends on pythonnet
• [ ] Remove the existing clr package and push our alias-package

[denfromufa]

We may as well reserve Python.net package name on pypi.

I just got this error and found out it was due to having multiple Python installations, including pythonnet package install in each.

1. If, you're in Windows, do: where.exe python to find where it's installed.
2. Next, use the version specific pip, like this:

pip list
pip3.8.exe list

(depending on what you found in (1).)

The version I am using, is conda so scripts installed with conda and using import clr, fails with:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'clr'
when ran from command line.

I don't know how to fix this.

However, running script in it's own home directory (elsewhere) seem to work. Very weird!
