Issue Summary

A summary of the issue and the environment in which it occurs. If suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug. Please feel free to include screenshots, screencasts, code examples.

I pip install the sendgrid.

I just follow your guide in this link
https://app.sendgrid.com/guide/integrate/langs/python
and when I run the example code following, I get the error below

python version: Python 3.6.1 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit).
computer: mac10.14
CODE

# using SendGrid's Python Library

Steps to Reproduce

1. This is the first step
   run this example code
   ```
   

   using SendGrid's Python Library

https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-python

import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import Mail

message = Mail(
from_email='[email protected]',
to_emails='[email protected]',
subject='Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun',
html_content='and easy to do anywhere, even with Python')
try:
sg = SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.send(message)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
except Exception as e:
print(e.message)```

1. This is the second step
2. Further steps, etc.

Hello @mabodx,

Can you please try pip install --upgrade sendgrid?

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer

[sai109]

If you upgrade it still returns the same error

[thinkingserious]

Hello @sai109,

It looks like the error is happening here, but that should not get executed unless there was a problem with the following imports:

import urllib.request as urllib
from urllib.parse import urlencode
from urllib.error import HTTPError 

Could you please try running those commands in the python interpreter and let me know what errors you are seeing?

I just tried on Python 3.6.3 without any error.

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer

[sai109]

Thank you for the response. When I run the import from the python interpreter they work. But if I run the code in the python file I still get the error:
Code (email.py)

import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import Mail

message = Mail(
    from_email="from__email",
    to_emails="to__email__",
    subject="Cambridge Computer Science Admissions Updated",
    html_content="The admissions test information for cambridge has been updated"
)

try:
    sg = SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
    sg.send(message)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

When I run on the console I get:

from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
ImportError: cannot import name 'SendGridAPIClient'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Can you try renaming your file from email.py to email_test.py?

[croozeus]

I get a similar error on Mac OS. When I tried to rename my file from email.py to something else, another message poped up:

Hello @croozeus,

Please try print(str(e)).

That said, it looks like you need to execute some additional steps on your machine.

Can you try renaming your file from email.py to email_test.py?

Renaming my python file for email.py to email_test.py stopped this issues happening

[timconnorz]

WHY? why does renaming it work??

[daichiishi]

^ seconding @timconnorz. Renamed from email.py to email_test.py and it ran fine for some reason. Feels like a real-life xkcd.

[mehuled]

@thinkingserious Faced similar issue and renaming the file from email.py to email_test.py worked. Can you please take a moment to explain why it might be so?

[metov]

Ran into the same problem, also fixed by renaming my fail from email.py to mail.py. I think there is a module called email in Python that this library uses; when you call your own file email that module gets shadowed and breaks sendgrid. Might not be worth fixing, since it would probably be a lot of work just to save user from renaming, but it would be helpful to check for this specific case and print a more informative error.

[ykostivtribo]

incredible. I have renamed my file "sendgrid.py" to "mail.py" and the issue stopped )))))
