Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

I've done my IMS.PY but I'm having problems with my MAIN.PY, cuz it doesnt run

#

Do you get any errors?

south osprey
#

that's my IMS.PY, and it works fine but I'm having problem with my other code that should work alongside it

silk whale
#

What problem are you having?

#

Are you running main.py? If so, you need to call the main function

south osprey
#

it says something like "No module named "IMS" "

silk whale
#

What's your file structure

south osprey
#

there are 2 main components, a module named IMS ( contains functions for inventory management, such as loading inventory, displaying the menu, adding, viewing, deleting, restocking chemicals, executing experiments, and saving inventory) and a main script (imports functions from IMS.py to manage the inventory.)

Yes, where are they located in relation to each other: same folder, etc?

south osprey
#

i didnt put them in the same folder, but there are just within my desktop, is that wrong?

#

i didnt put them in any folder at all

silk whale
#

Ok, so they are both just in the Desktop, neither of them is in any folder?

south osprey
#

i've just place both of them in a folder, rn. but its still not working

silk whale
#

Just to be clear, the same folder, right?

south osprey
#

yes

#

"No such file or directory"

silk whale
#

Python is probably not looking in the current directory for some reason, but just to be sure, try renaming IMS.PY to ims.py, and using import ims

south osprey
#

on it

silk whale
#

Oh wait

south osprey
#

i'm not really well versed with python so I don't really know what im missing there

silk whale
#

The way python looks for modules when you import them can be kinda funky

Cmd?

south osprey
#

i tried running them from the same folder but it still doesnt work

silk whale
#

Ask in general chat, there's probably something I'm missing
