error importing vimeo: Python 3

[joaolessab]

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'urlparse'

It seems that this library name was changed on Python 3

Seeing the same issue on Python 3:

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'urlparse'`

Did you do pip install vimeo instead of pip install PyVimeo? They are different packages, and the vimeo package doesn't support python 3.

I have allmost the same problem. Both pip installed vimeo and PyVimeo. I get "ImportError: No module named vimeo" in Python 2 and "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vimeo'" in Python 3.

@learningtour make sure your python file is not called vimeo.py.

This works in Python 3 now. If it doesn't, it's probably because you're using a file or local folder called vimeo - which would be a naming conflict.

I upgraded my Python version to Python 3.9 and get the same error. I don't have a vimeo local file or folder. I installed Python3 with:

brew install python@3.9

Vimeo with:

python3 -m pip install vimeo

and when I run it, I see:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vimeo/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from vimeo.client import Client
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vimeo/client.py", line 5, in <module>
    import urlparse
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urlparse'

If I "monkey-patch" it by changing that line to:

import urllib.parse as urlparse

then I see another error:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vimeo/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from vimeo.client import Client
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vimeo/client.py", line 6, in <module>
    from urllib import urlencode
ImportError: cannot import name 'urlencode' from 'urllib' (/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.13_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/urllib/__init__.py)

When I installed it with Python3.10, I got another error, which made me downgrade to 3.9.

When I install PyVimeo instead of vimeo, my code works well.
