Ethereum: Syntax error when importing module on Ubuntu 16.04
After a first phase of testing between different alternative Binance API implementations, I decided to try the most popular one: python-binance.
I am using Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04.
Installing required packages
Before we can continue, it is essential to make sure that all required packages are installed on our system. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Install pip (Python Package Manager)
First, let’s update the package index and install pip:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Install Binance Python Library
Next, we will install the python-binance library using pip. Run the following command:
python3 -m pip install python-binance
Importing the Module
Now that all the required packages are installed, let's import the module and try running our first script.
Upgrade the Binance Python library installation (if necessary)
Make sure your installation is up to date by running:
pip3 install --upgrade python-binance
After upgrading, try importing the module again:
Binance Amount
Error Message
Unfortunately, even after installing the required packages and successfully importing the module, I encountered a syntax error while trying to use it.
What's happening?
Thebinanceimport statement does not recognize my Python 3.5 installation. The problem is probably because the library was installed for Python 3.6 or later on your system.
Solutions
To resolve this issue, try updating your pip version to match the one required by python-binance (which is Python 3.5). Run:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
This should fix the syntax error and allow you to successfully import the module.
Alternatively, you can also downgrade your pip installation to use an older version of Python that supports the Binance Python library:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-pip
pip3 install --upgrade binance
With these steps in place, you should be able to import thebinance` module without encountering syntax errors.
