Unresolved Import Issues with PyDev and Eclipse

I just upgraded a WXWindows project to Python 2.7 and had no end of trouble getting Pydev to recognize the new interpreter. Did the same thing as above configuring the interpreter, made a fresh install of Eclipse and Pydev. Thought some part of python must have been corrupt, so I re-installed everything again. Arghh! Closed and reopened the project, and restarted Eclipse between all of these changes.

FINALLY noticed you can ‘remove the PyDev project config’ by right clicking on project. Then it can be made into a PyDev project again, now it is good as gold!

I fixed my pythonpath and everything was dandy when I imported stuff through the console, but all these previously unresolved imports were still marked as errors in my code, no matter how many times I restarted eclipse or refreshed/cleaned the project.

I right clicked the project->Pydev->Remove error markers and it got rid of that problem. Don’t worry, if your code contains actual errors they will be re-marked.

There are two ways of solving this issue:

• Delete the Python interpreter from “Python interpreters” and add it again.
• Or just add the folder with the libraries in the interpreter you are using in your project, in my case I was using “bottle” and the folder I added was “c:Python33Libsite-packagesbottle-0.11.6-py3.3.egg”

Now I don’t see the error anymore, and the code completion feature works as well with “bottle”.

I’m running Eclipse 4.2.0 (Juno) and PyDev 2.8.1, and ran into this problem with a lib installed to my site-packages path. According to this SO question:

Pydev and *.pyc Files

…there is an issue with PyDev and pyc files. In the case of the particular lib I tried to reference, all that is delivered is pyc files.

Here’s what I did to address this:

1. Install uncompyle2 from https://github.com/Mysterie/uncompyle2

2. Run uncompyle2 against the *.pyc files in the site-packages lib. Example:

   uncompyle2 -r -o /tmp /path/to/site-packages/lib

3. Rename the resulting *.pyc_dis files produced from uncompyle2 to *.py
4. Move / copy these *.py files to the site-packages path
5. In Eclipse, select File > Restart

The unresolved import error relating to .pyc files should now disappear.

project–>properties–>pydev-pythonpath–>external libraries –> add source folder, add the PARENT FOLDER of the project. Then restart eclipse.

Here is what worked for me (sugested by soulBit):

1) Restart using restart from the file menu
2) Once it started again, manually close and open it.

This is the simplest solution ever and it completely removes the annoying thing.

Following, in my opinion will solve the problem

1. Adding the init.py to your “~/Desktop/Python_Tutorials/diveintopython/py” folder
2. Go to Window –> Preferences –> PyDev –> Interpreters –> Python Interpreter to remove your Python Interpreter setting (reason being is because PyDev unable to auto refresh any updates made to any System PythonPath)
3. Add in the Interpreter with the same details as before (this will refresh your Python Interpreter setting with updates made to your PythonPath)
4. Finally since your “~/Desktop/Python_Tutorials/diveintopython/py” folder not a standard PythonPath, you will need to add it in. There are two ways to do it

a. As per what David German suggested. However this only applicable for the particular projects you are in
b. Add in “~/Desktop/Python_Tutorials/diveintopython/py” into a new PythonPath under Window –> Preferences –> PyDev –> Interpreters –> Python Interpreter –> Libraries subtab –> NewFolder

Hope it helps.

I am using eclipse kepler 4.3, PyDev 3.9.2 and on my ubuntu 14.04 I encountered with the same problem. I tried and spent hours, with all the above most of the options but in vain. Then I tried the following which was great:

• Select Project-> RightClick-> PyDev-> Remove PyDev Project Config
• file-> restart

And I was using Python 2.7 as an interpreter, although it doesn’t effect, I think.

KD.py

class A:
a=10;

KD2.py 
from com.jbk.KD import A;
class B:
  b=120;

aa=A();
print(aa.a)

THIS works perfectly file for me

Another example is

main.py
=======
from com.jbk.scenarios.objectcreation.settings import _init
from com.jbk.scenarios.objectcreation.subfile import stuff

_init();
stuff();

settings.py
==========
def _init():
print("kiran")


subfile.py
==========
def stuff():
print("asasas")    

I had some issues importing additional libraries, after trying to resolve the problem, by understanding
PYTHONPATH, Interpreter, and Grammar I found that I did everything write but the problems continue. After that, I just add a new empty line in the files that had the import errors and saved them and the error was resolved.

None of the other answers worked for me. I could see the function in the imported file, pylint could find it, and all tests passed (and yes, the function was exercised). Nothing helped until I happened to run ls on the site.packages directory and saw both the module.py file AND a module.pyi file. The pyi file was empty, and I have no idea where it came from (I’m sure I fat-fingered something but no idea what), but I do know that if you have one it can’t be empty.

I removed the file, restarted Eclipse and everything was back to normal.
