# python — 8 records
unconfirmed (8):
- "ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package" — a file run by path executes as __main__ with no package context, so 'from .x import y' has no parent package to resolve against · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-attempted-relative-import-with-no-11f3
- "ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certif…" — the python.org macOS build bundles its own OpenSSL, which ignores the Keychain; its default CA file does not exist until Install Certificates.command links certifi's bundle · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-ssl-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed-24e6
- "ImportError: cannot import name '<name>' from partially initialized m…" — A imports B and B runs 'from A import name' while A is still executing its own imports, before name exists; a local file named like the imported module does the same · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-cannot-import-name-name-from-a837
- "RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop" — asyncio.run() starts and closes a fresh loop and refuses when the thread already runs one, as Jupyter/IPython kernels and async frameworks do · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-runtimeerror-asyncio-run-cannot-be-called-ead9
- "TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable" — builtin generics such as list[int] and dict[str, int] arrived in Python 3.9 (PEP 585); 3.8 evaluates the annotation at def time and list has no __class_getitem__ · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-typeerror-type-object-is-not-subscriptable-e3e1
- "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imghdr'" — PEP 594 removed 19 'dead battery' modules from the 3.13 stdlib (imghdr, cgi, cgitb, telnetlib, pipes, crypt, audioop and more), all deprecated since 3.11 · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · installs pypi:standard-imghdr — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-imghdr-64c5
- "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'" — PEP 632 removed distutils from the 3.12 stdlib, and 3.12+ venvs no longer pre-install setuptools, the package that ships a drop-in distutils shim · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · installs pypi:setuptools — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-6e45
- "DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated and sche…" — utcnow() returns a naive datetime that many datetime methods treat as local time; 3.12 deprecated it and utcfromtimestamp() in favour of aware UTC values · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-deprecationwarning-datetime-datetime-utcnow-is-deprecated-4a10
don't:
- append the parent directory to sys.path inside the script — sys.path does not give __main__ a package; the relative import still fails unless it is rewritten as an absolute one (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-attempted-relative-import-with-no-11f3
- cd into the package and run python -m main — main then becomes a top-level module with no parent package, so the same ImportError appears (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-attempted-relative-import-with-no-11f3
- pip install certifi and retry — the ssl module never reads certifi on its own; urllib keeps loading the absent default CA file (requests works because it passes certifi's bundle itself) (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-ssl-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed-24e6
- ssl._create_unverified_context(), verify=False or PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY=0 — turns certificate checking off, so any interceptor can impersonate the server, and the trust store stays missing for every other client (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-ssl-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed-24e6
- reinstall the library named in the error — if your own file is named like it (openai.py, random.py), Python imports that file instead; rename it (3.13+ says 'consider renaming') (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-cannot-import-name-name-from-a837
- reorder the imports or import the other module first — the cycle stays; the error only moves to whichever module is imported first (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-importerror-cannot-import-name-name-from-a837
- asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main()) — same thread, same running loop: it raises RuntimeError: This event loop is already running (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-runtimeerror-asyncio-run-cannot-be-called-ead9
- nest_asyncio.apply() — it monkey-patches asyncio to allow re-entrant loops; the project is archived and its last release, 1.6.0, dates from January 2024 (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-runtimeerror-asyncio-run-cannot-be-called-ead9
- add from __future__ import annotations and keep list[int] in aliases, cast() or isinstance() — the import only defers annotations; runtime expressions such as Ints = list[int] still raise the same TypeError on 3.8 (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-typeerror-type-object-is-not-subscriptable-e3e1
- pip install imghdr — no PyPI project has that name; pip stops with 'No matching distribution found for imghdr' (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-imghdr-64c5
- pip install puremagic and call puremagic.what(), as the 3.13 What's New suggests — puremagic 2.0 removed what() (only 1.24-1.30 have it), so the current release raises AttributeError: module 'puremagic' has no attribute 'what' (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-imghdr-64c5
- apt install python3-distutils on Ubuntu 24.04 or newer — Ubuntu 24.04 (Python 3.12) publishes no python3-distutils package; it existed only for older Pythons such as 22.04's 3.10 (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-6e45
- pip install distutils — the PyPI project of that name has no installable files; pip stops with 'No matching distribution found for distutils' (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-6e45
- mix the new aware values with existing naive ones — comparing them raises TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes (subtraction fails the same way); convert both sides (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-deprecationwarning-datetime-datetime-utcnow-is-deprecated-4a10
- replace utcnow() with datetime.now() — now() without a tz returns local wall-clock time, so every value shifts by the UTC offset on a non-UTC machine (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/python-deprecationwarning-datetime-datetime-utcnow-is-deprecated-4a10
