Import Error about python-fitbit

[orcas]

@jykim Can you post here the output of python -c "import fitbit; print(fitbit.__version__)"? Also, what was your method of installation

[jykim]

Hi,

The output was the following:
(probably not very helpful, I guess...)

$ python -c "import fitbit; print(fitbit.version)"
Traceback (most recent call last):

I installed it via pip command, and here's the verson number if that's what you're looking for:
$ pip freeze|grep fitbit
fitbit==0.1.3

@jykim Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for, I'll look into it

[jykim]

Any updates on this? :)

[brad]

@jykim After a closer look, it seems that the problem is with the requests library. Try import requests and see if that gives an error. Is it possible for you to update your Python installation, perhaps with the deadsnakes python2.7 PPA? https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/ubuntu/deadsnakes-python2.7
2.7.3 is pretty old, it seems like there's a good chance this could have been fixed since then.

'import requests' gave an error, but I set-up an clean environemnt using virtualenv, and python-fitbit imports just fine.

Thanks for the answers!

@jykim Can this issue be closed?

I am a novice, and I am having trouble importing Fitbit library. Getting import errors with init.py and api.py. Running Python 2.7.11 on a Windows 10 machine. Funny thing is the import is working fine on a Windows 7 machine running Python 2.7.6. Any suggestions other than setting up virtualenv?
