Cannot import name 'VESC' from 'pyvesc'

[MarTru21]

Hi, I'm trying to run your motor_example.py, but I 'm getting the error "cannot import name 'VESC' from 'pyvesc'." Any idea why this may be? I believe I'm working in python 3, but I'm new to coding in Python. Thanks!

Try installing the newest version of the library using:

pip install git+https://github.com/LiamBindle/PyVESC

the same as sudo

@robbyatbln: What worked for me was to "pip remove" the pyvesc, delete everything pyvesc-related from the disk and then install again from newest source as @TannerGilbert suggested.

This worked for us:

pip uninstall PyCRC
pip install pythoncrc

Sadly I have pretty much given up on this library ( I have tried for 3 days)
things I have tried

Virtual Machine
Version Matching
Docker

I have had zero luck, I have just defaulted to writing my program in C++.

I have pyvesc install yet I get the following messages (This is extremely irritating)

Documents/code/PyVESC/pyvesc/examples$ python3 motor_example.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

This worked for us:

pip uninstall PyCRC
pip install pythoncrc

This worked for me, the library now loads and I don't see the error of PyCRC.

Thank you I will try it as soon as I return home.

I am not sure, but I think the problem here, is that the VESC.py file that is in the repository is not in the distribution. This means, it is looking for a file that doesn't exist hence the error.
