Module not found

Hello Timothy.

I’m getting the following error when running portray as_html command:

portray as_html
/home/me/.virtualenvs/graphene-elastic/lib/python3.6/site-packages/portray/config.py:101: UserWarning: Error (malformed node or string: <_ast.Call object at 0x7f32e20d9c18>) occurred trying to parse setup.py file: /home/me/repos/graphene-elastic/setup.py
  warnings.warn(f"Error ({error}) occurred trying to parse setup.py file: {location}")
Done Copying source documentation to temporary compilation directory
Module not found: graphene-elastic

Virtualenv I’m in has the graphene-elastic installed (python setup.py develop). Installing it using pip install graphene-elastic or python setup.py install does not help.

Is there specific directory structure expected? I run it from the project root here. Anything else I’m missing?

Portray version: portray==1.3.0.

Any tips and help are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just ran into this same error. Someone added a new module to an existing project at foo/bar.py, nothing special, and portray raised the Module not found: foo.bar error. A version of amenezes solution worked for me. Setting PYTHONPATH=. did NOT work but setting PYTHONPATH=foo did make it work.

Given the other debugging comments people have made in this thread make me worry that the PYTHONPATH setting isn’t a real fix. In fact, I would guess that this would break in my project if I ever had two modules with the same name in different packages (e.g. foo.bar and qux.bar).

Edit: I’m going to try changing all of my CI scripts to something like:

PYTHONPATH=$(find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf '%p:') portray as_html ...

Which works if your version of find supports -printf. This captures all of the directories in the current working dir including .git directories and the like but seems to work for me.

Same problem here. Unsure if relevant, but it was working a minute ago on Linux w/ Python 3.8; I’m now on macOS w/ Python 3.6.
