ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'easyocr/DBNet'

Hi everyone 😃

First I want to thank you for this great library! Great job! 😃

I wanted to try the new detector DBNet, but I currently get an error:

import easyocr

reader = easyocr.Reader(["en"], detect_network="dbnet18")

witch is producing following Exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'easyocr/DBNet'

I tried several things but I don’t get it work, I thing there is a missing init.py or an import but I don’t get it.

Could someone try to reproduce it ?

thanks, my team think they have found the cause. Next version will fix this (will be released in a few days).

Ok, 1.6.1 is now available on PyPi. ModuleNotFoundError is gone but I get a new error. I will open a new issue.
