python import a non standard library












1















Hi I downloaded a cool github to run in jupyter notebook.
however I need to import this "non standard library" by the author




  1. downloaded the files

  2. I put the file in the same folder, made sure that my notebook is pointing there.

  3. type "import indicators" in the notebook
    (by the way its a file called indicators.py in https://github.com/voice32/stock_market_indicators/)


and I get this error




Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:ProgramDataAnaconda3libsite-packagesIPythoncoreinteractiveshell.py", line 2961, in run_code
exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)
File "", line 5, in
import indicators
File "C:Usersney12Google Drive1) Financial Mastery3) paper assets, trading, Other assetsforexVan tharp Forex trading systemNey study of van tharp forex trading systemForex-initial-analysisindicators.py", line 235
val_last = val
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation




just in case I open the command line and type "pip install indicators.py"
but I get an error:




" Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement indicators.py (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for indicators.py"




help please!

          The error is in the stacktrace:



          TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation


          This happens when someone uses tabs and spaces interchangeably for indentation in a script. Quite frustrating



          I'd suggest opening that file in the text editor of your choice and doing a bulk find-and-replace of tabs and replace with spaces. You can do that with the t char in the find bar (note the escape slash), and then either s{4} (if regex is enabled) or just hit space 4 times in the replace field. Save it, then re-import it with a fresh python shell

            Or you can reindent the entire directory by using autopep8 package_dir --recursive --select=E101,E121 --in-place. You need to install autopep8 using pip!

          pip install autopep8
