ImportError: cannot import name 'Sensor' from 'w1thermsensor'

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Hello, when I try to run a simple code (see code below) I receive this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "temperature.py", line 1, in <module>
    from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor, Sensor
ImportError: cannot import name 'Sensor' from 'w1thermsensor' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/w1thermsensor/__init__.py)

Environment and Version

OS (incl. distribution and version): Raspbian (10 Buster)
Python Version: 3.7.3
w1thermsensor Version (w1thermsensor --version): 2.0.0
If applicable: DS18B20 wired to a Raspberry Pi 3 B+

To Reproduce w1thermsensor installed via sudo apt-get install python3-w1thermsensor

simple test code:

from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor, Sensor
sensor = W1ThermSensor(Sensor.DS18B20, "3c01b55615b0")
sensor.set_resolution(9)
temperature_in_celsius = sensor.get_temperature()

print(temperature_in_celsius)

What am I missing? Thank you!

@timofurrer my bad, I’m not up with the just released v2. Must have a go and also use the asyncio too (perhaps put something in the docs why and when it should be used it, other than to replace my fudged threading for reading the sensors.) thanks 😃
