Unable to import pinject

[dmitrybelyakov]

Hello,
I decided to give pinject a try, but unfortunately it does not import. Here's what I do: install pinject with pip install pinject and then interactively import pinject.

It seem to fail on line 156 of third_party/decorator.py. I'm on python 3.4 so maybe that's the reason although looking at code I can see blocks dealing with python >3.2

Is that a bug?

Pinject is only compatible with Python 2.7, unfortunately (see #2). At least, that's what the developer told me. I'm thinking of making a fork to support Python 3. Would you be interested?

[dmitrybelyakov]

@seanfisk It says 'all' under Platform on PyPi, so that got me confused. I'll be glad to help if I could but unfortunately I'm pretty new to python. Other than that it would be great if it worked under 3.x branch :)

[seanfisk]

@dmitrybelyakov Agreed; that is confusing. Working on pinject has been on my todo list, and I should get some time to do it soon. Watch the repo and I'll make a post when I do. It's too bad this appears unmaintained ATM, but this project is too cool to die.

Also: Your profile pic is awesome.

@seanfisk Thanks, will do :)

Still getting this issue:

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'

at pinject/third_party/decorator.py", line 156

@AlexKovalevych, what is your Python version? Are you using the patched revision?

[AlexKovalevych]

@trein its 3.4.2. no, i don't think so, i've installed the master branch

[trein]

@AlexKovalevych so the master branch does not have support for Python 3. I submitted a fix for this, but it hasn't been merged yet. If you want, you can cherry-pick it: trein@fd091eb

[AlexKovalevych]

@trein understood, weird its not being merged yet, thank you for response

+1 Is there anyone here?

Please merge the PRs to fix the issues, esp: Python 3 Support.

Thanks!

@zixia heya! i don't think there is, but apparently it is quite easy to implement a di solution yourself - took me about 2 hours to write my own injector/container with tests and all.

• Here's an example: https://github.com/projectshift/shift-boiler/blob/master/boiler/di.py
• And some docs: https://github.com/projectshift/shift-boiler/blob/master/docs/di.md

Thanks! I'll go to take a look. It seems you did a great job!

However, I'm a newbie of Python, I'm familiar with DI & Angular but I'd like to use an out-of-box DI solution in python.

I love this pinject because it's decorator free! 👍
