ImportError: cannot import name 'constants'

Question

I need to import the constants library but it is not working...

import spacy
import pandas
import textacy
import pandas as pd
from pandas import Series
from . import constants

Erreur:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-49-df52595371dd> in <module>()
  4 import pandas as pd
  5 from pandas import Series
----> 6 from . import constants

ImportError: cannot import name 'constants'

I am using anaconda 3 on windows 10 and tried to install this library with the conda:

conda install -c auto constants

But it still does not work...

if you type "conda list" into your terminal, is constants there? — Alexis Drakopoulos, Oct 22 '18 at 09:45
That means your installation failed or you are in a different conda python environment. — Alexis Drakopoulos, Oct 22 '18 at 09:48

from . import constants

imports a python file called constants inside your current directory.

I doubt you installed it in your directory?

so just do import constants

. means look in current directory I believe

Using from shouldn't be necessary in the last line. Simply type:

import constants

that should do the trick.
