When i try to import termcolor on repl.it, it just says the package operation failed

Question

When i try to run from termcolor import colored, cprint, it keeps coming up with Repl.it: Package operation failed. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Although it is quite old, termcolor is a very simple py module that should have no problems in replit. I myself have no issues importing and running its example script on replit.

Likely, the module packager files (pyproject.toml and poetry.lock) have become corrupted on your replit due to optimistic replication conflict, adversarial machinations, catastrophic hash collisions, quantum tunnelling, or relativistic event horizon information loss — all known hazards of python programming.

To recover, try removing the packager files using the command below and trying to run the project again.

rm pyproject.toml poetry.lock
