No module named slackclient

[karpantschof]

Once install script is completed and token added to settings.py, upon 'python main.py' command:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 15, in
import slackclient #for real time parts
ImportError: No module named slackclient

If running with python3:

File "main.py", line 84
print "Connection Failed, invalid token?"
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Token is correct and tested on other app.

First of all, project is written in python 2, hence python 3 is not supported (yet).
slackclient is a requirement which is mentioned in requirements.txt file. Are you sure you successfully executed setup.sh or setup-linux.sh whichever suits to your os?

[priezz]

Same for me. Running OS X. setup.sh completed successfully.

[yigitozkavci]

Can you please provide the output of your setup.sh execution? I am thinking of python version mismatch. Project is assuming you have 2.7 version to run with virtualenv.

I have found the source of the problem. In the env/bin/active you are manipulating with the environment. After commenting it and changing pip to pip2 in the setup script it correctly installed the deps.

One more thing. When I successfully started the main.py I got the following output above the slack command prompt:

Ignoring charlock_holmes-0.7.3 because its extensions are not built.  Try: gem pristine charlock_holmes --version 0.7.3
Ignoring escape_utils-1.1.0 because its extensions are not built.  Try: gem pristine escape_utils --version 1.1.0
Ignoring rugged-0.24.0 because its extensions are not built.  Try: gem pristine rugged --version 0.24.0
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.3.1/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:319:in `to_specs': Could not find 'lolcat' (>= 0.a) among 59 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

So, these four gem commands are to be included into setup script as well:

gem pristine charlock_holmes escape_utils rugged
gem install lolcat # w/o sudo

Hmm. Sounds reasonable to me. Not sure which of these packages require charlock_holmes escape_utils rugged as dependencies tho, and we only need lolcat gem as, you know, gem.

And for those modifications to the setup script, that makes sense not to use sudo for gem install command. You can modify it and send a pr to contribute, thanks for your helpful report! :)

I got the same error. Just forgot to activate env (. env/bin/activate) and then run main.py. Do it and you won't get this error!
