$python
>>> import elementtree
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "
ImportError: No module named elementtree
In case you've installed the elementtree package correctly
(python-elementtree) and you're using Ubuntu,the following
solution will most probably work:
instead of import elementtree, use
import xml.etree.ElementTree
( I believe you must've already figured out the cause of the import
failure and why the solution works.
In case you haven't, read on.
The import failure is due to the directory structure of the
elementtree files being different in Ubuntu. Usually the python
import modules are located in /usr/lib/python
The elementtree import file (ElementTree.py) in Ubuntu however
is located at the path
/usr/lib/python
Hence the above change in the import parameter is necessary )
Thanks! This helped me alot!

This helped me as well, thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anybody still reads this thread,
ReplyDeletebut I experience the same error although I try to import the module the same way you described above.
Are there any other possible problems?
Thanks for any help!
