python-chess: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chess.uci'

Question

I'm trying to run a program that requires the modules chess and chess.uci.

I do the "py -m pip install chess", but get the error message

File "D:\Pythonfiler\sjakk\PySimpleGUI\Chess\Demo_Chess_AGAINST_AI.py", line 7, in import chess.uci ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chess.uci'

Anyone got an idea what I could do? Or what I'm doing wrong?

Did you tried to use `pip install python-chess` or is "**chess**" a different librarie? — Broump, Nov 30 '21 at 22:20

Demo script is old and was built at 24 Oct 2018, some steps required to run.

Download the StockFish Chess engine at: https://stockfishchess.org/download/, and unzip it to a holder, it is required to provide the path of the specified file when script start.
This script come with some png files, so you cannot run it directly, try to https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI and download zip file PySimpleGUI-master.zip under button Code, then unzip to a holder where you can find the holder PySimpleGUI-master\Chess with script file and png files.
Install python-chess==0.25.1 for old library used when demo script designed
run the script Demo_Chess_AGAINST_AI.py under holder PySimpleGUI-master\Chess
Need to set some parameters on the right side of GUI before you move any chess, or it will be failed.

Thanks! I had only tried python-chess==0.23.9, because that was the one stated in the "requirements.txt". Just curious: How did you discover that 0.25.1 was the correct one? – Patzer Dec 01 '21 at 07:52
Both of modules `chess.pgn` and `chess.uci` included in 0.25.1 – Jason Yang Dec 01 '21 at 08:11
Updated to 0.23.9 to be same as in requirements.txt – Jason Yang Dec 01 '21 at 08:26
Ok, 0.23.9 did not work for me, but 0.25.1 did. – Patzer Dec 01 '21 at 08:34
Ok, let it be 0.25.1, it looks like 0.23.9 work for me ... – Jason Yang Dec 01 '21 at 08:41
