ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

[mwenge]

Hi there,

Getting the following error. Any suggestions?

[robert@mwenge-desktop python (master)]$ pwd
/home/robert/Dev/peasauce/python
robert@mwenge-desktop python (master)]$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.5
[robert@mwenge-desktop python (master)]$ python3 qtui.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "qtui.py", line 41, in <module>
    from . import disassemblylib
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Run it from the directory up a level. So you are doing `python3 python\qtui.py` should work I think.

I have the exact same issue (as of 30 May 2021) under Win10.

NOTE; tried to install python and Qt libraries under Ubuntu Linux and gave up in frustration. Win10 install was much easier.

I installed Python 3.9.5

BTW the instruction "pip install pyqt" (under the "Installation" section ) gave a very unhelpful error message in red. Wow must be serious! Hope my computer wasn't damaged :-)

I googled and tried instead "pip install PyQt5" which installed this library painlessly. The command "pip install QT.py" appeared to work.

Tried running from within the python directory and also (as suggested above) from the folder above. Same error each time.

Just as a rant, python is supposed to be some great language, especially for noobs to learn (such as me!), but when it goes wrong, the error messages might as well be printed in Klingon. I can see that this is a complicated and sophisticated project with lots of source files and other stuff. Does it really have to be this complicated, or should we (noobs) leave python only to the rocket scientist experts???

UPDATE: [5 minutes later...] So I executed the batch file "run.bat" and the GUI appears. So the instruction for "Method 1" might need to be amended, but it does say "any platform" and comes first which I why I tried this first!

Same problem as of December 2023.
This may help others.

I managed to execute it with...

python3 -m python.qtui

...from the peasauce root directory and not in the python subdirectory.
