Example code won't run, claiming that monotonic is not installed

Thanks for making and sharing this code. I’ve recently installed an arlo system and I’m interested in contributing to your project, but I’m relatively new to python programming, so I may be doing something wrong here. In any case, at this point, I think it’s a problem with the code and not with me.

What version of Python are you using (python -V)?

$ python -V
Python 2.7.15

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (python -c 'import platform; print(platform.uname());')?

$ python -c 'import platform; print(platform.uname());'

Which Arlo hardware do you have (camera types - [Arlo, Pro, Q, etc.], basestation model, etc.)?

Arlo

What did you do?

$ sudo port install python27
$ sudo port install py27-pip
$ sudo port select --set pip pip27
$ git clone https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo.git
$ pip install monotonic 
$ pip install requests
$ pip install sseclient
$ pip show monotonic

$ python myarlo.py

Then I just created a local file myarlo.py by copying and pasting the example I found at https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo and replacing my username and password for the ones I found in that example code.

What did you expect to see?

Code runs (download videos from library and delete them from library?).

What did you see instead?

$ python myarlo.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "myarlo.py", line 1, in <module>
    from Arlo import Arlo
  File "/Users/alpha/sources/arlo/Arlo.py", line 24, in <module>
    import monotonic
ImportError: No module named monotonic

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

In the past I’ve found that Mac python differs in some important ways from more standard python (that I found in the Macports project).

Was thinking about this more, and I bet your problem is related to having multiple python installs.

Something along these lines: see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26006609/pip-doesnt-show-my-installed-packages see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25276329/cant-load-python-modules-installed-via-pip-from-site-packages-directory
