Importerror: No Module Named '_version' When Importing Mechanize

I installed mechanize via pip and get an errer when I import the module: $ python Python 3.5.2 (default, Jun 28 2016, 08:46:01) [GCC 6.1.1 20160602] on linux Type 'help', 'copyrig

Solution 1:

If you look at setup.py you'll see mechanize is a Python 2.x package:

Programming Language :: Python
Programming Language :: Python :: 2
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.4
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.5
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7

Apart from that, you can see in mechanize/__init__.py that all imports are relative:

from _version import __version__

instead of explicit:

from ._versionimport __version__

In python 3, this results in import errors.

There's an issue opened for Py3 support and it lists some alternatives you could try. That, or port it :-).

Solution 2:

it't work for me, coppy file _version to use this command

cp -R __version /usr/local/lib/python3.9

to determine pac
