[SOLVED] From ubidots import ApiClient fails (module is installed though)

Ubidots API
1

I keep getting the error “ImportError: cannot import name ApiClient”
when I try to import the module with “from ubidots import ApiClient”

Install log :

c:\Python27\Scripts>pip install ubidots==1.6.5
Collecting ubidots==1.6.5

Uninstalling ubidots-1.6.6:

Is module installed ? → Yes…

pip freeze command gives :

Dubbelcheck with help(“modules”) command in python :

help(“modules ubidots”)

So i’m stuck on such a basic thing :unamused:
Tried :
uninstalled it, reinstalled it, installed older version (1.6.5),…no luck
UPDATE: the same procedure works on pyton3 though, not on python 2.7

So, I understand that it’s working on Python 3 but not on Python 2.7?

If you do pip --version what’s the result of that command? Maybe you’re installing the library in your Python3 environment but not in your Python2.7.

Had the same error. It seems doc is not up to date. For me it works with after various tries :
from ubidots.apiclient import ApiClient
