(Solved) Problem importing python module

[Enchant00]

I'm having a problem with importing the more_itertools, specifically the collapse function.

RENPY CODE

Code: Select all

init python:
    from more_itertools import collapse

ERROR

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/romance.rpy", line 8, in script
    init python:
  File "game/romance.rpy", line 11, in <module>
    from more_itertools import collapse
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (python-packages/more_itertools/more.py, line 329)

The more_itertools is installed in my computer and works well if it's just normal python. I used the First and Third-Party Python Modules and Packages from renpy documentation hence the error.

The module you linked to appears to require python 3.4 or later.

Oh, right. Renpy uses python 2.7 while the latest update of more-itertools no longer supports python 2.7. Thanks and I'll try to see if using a prior version would work.
