ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adafruit_minimqtt'

[bhopkinson]

I am trying to use minimqtt on linux (running in a docker container), however I am having trouble installing and importing the module.

I have installed the following packages:

pip3 install adafruit-blinka
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-minimqtt

I can confirm that these have been installed with pip3 list:

Package                         Version
------------------------------- -------
Adafruit-Blinka                 5.8.0
adafruit-circuitpython-lis3dh   5.1.5
adafruit-circuitpython-minimqtt 4.0.1
Adafruit-PlatformDetect         2.22.1
Adafruit-PureIO                 1.1.7
pip                             20.2.4
pyftdi                          0.52.0
pyserial                        3.4
pyusb                           1.1.0
setuptools                      50.3.2
wheel                           0.35.1

However if I try import adafruit_minimqtt.adafruit_minimqtt as MQTT then I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adafruit_minimqtt'

My output of help("modules") is as follows, which shows the other adafruit modules are avilable, however minimqtt is not.

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

I am new to python, so apologies if I am missing something silly - however any assistance would be gratefully received.

Thank you.

This library does not yet work with CPython/Linux. It is being currently worked on #43.

I'll leave this issue open so I can address it when bringing in the CPython compatibility changes.

[brentru]

@bhopkinson Hi, do you still have this issue? The latest version of this library is CPython compatible and may be installed using the Python package manager.

[bruno963852]

@brentru I'm experiencing the same issue...

[EnzoPortela]

@brentru Me too

[tekktrik]

@bruno963852, @EnzoPortela - do you still have this issue? This should be fixed.

[brentru]

@tekktrik I do not mind testing this next week - does it still need to be tested before we can close out?

[tekktrik]

I think it's worth keeping open until tested, unless you know the change that fixed, as I don't (unless it was some weird packaging thing I fixed and that's why I chimed in later).

[vladak]

I think this issue should be closed. I have been successfully using MiniMQTT for the past couple of months on CPython (Ubuntu) with no problem.

[tekktrik]

I also agree - between the lack of additional reports and the fact that it does seem like everything is being packaged correctly, I think this is all set!
