unable to import evernote.api.client (evernte sdk)

Question

i'm trying to get started with evernote SDK , i'm using ubuntu 13.04

i installed the SDK via :

pip install evernote 

but when i want to test it using :

python -c 'from evernote.api.client import EvernoteClient'

i got this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named api.client

What is the problem ?

EDIT : pip install evernote works fine i guess , it gives me this :

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): evernote in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.24.0-py2.7.egg
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): oauth2 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from evernote)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2->evernote)
Cleaning up...

Answer 1

This is pretty old already, but I bet more people will hit it, so I'll put the answer here. It seems to be a surprisingly common issue that doesn't have an answer anywhere.

Note how the error complains about api.client but not evernote.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named api.client

Most likely, the problem is that OP has a script in his path called evernote.py, which I guess is a common name people use to name their first evernote script. Rename the script to something less obvious and that should do the trick.

Looks like pip install evernote don't do what it is suppose to do:

cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12.2
CODENAME = Mantis

pip install evernote

You can fix that with:

    pip -v install evernote==1.23.2

and everything works just fine!

Answer 3

Could you check the version of Evernote SDK for Python with:

pip freeze

If import evernote works but from evernote.api.client import EvernoteClient doesn't, you might happen to use 1.23.0 version or older since EvernoteClient class was introduced in 1.23.1.

Also please check your site-packages directory to make sure any older version is not loaded.
