'gtfs_parser' has no attribute 'GTFSFactory'

When I try to extract GTFS on qgis. Plugin just crashes. Here is stack trace:

AttributeError: module 'gtfs_parser' has no attribute 'GTFSFactory' 
Traceback (most recent call last):

I encountered the same, I might be interested if any workarounds are figured out

As I kind of assumed, the issue seems to be caused by missing dependencies, in this case I did not have this installed: https://github.com/MIERUNE/gtfs-parser/tree/21aba991d3ebe310b144da9cdf728f1c3b156499

Some other project claims that qgis plugins can't bake in the dependencies due to qgis plugin requirements. This leads to plugins not working after installation. So far of the plugins I tried, none mentioned what dependencies I'd have to install, so none worked.

I got this plugin to at least load after installing gtfs-parser with pip install gtfs-parser. After that everything seems to work. I'm new to qgis and gis, but it is hard to believe such manual dependency resolution is supposed to happen.

I also encountered this when I install plugin version 4.1.2 on QGIS 3.44.3-Solothurn on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble).

I see in

$HOME/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/GTFS-GO-master/

that it includes gtfs_parser directory.

Using the Python console, trying to

>>> import gtfs_parser.gtfs_parser

gave me an error message that the Python import mechanism wasn't able to find pandas.

I installed pandas using sudo apt install python3-pandas.

Then, upon re-starting QGIS, GTFS-GO can now "Extract" from local GTFS zipfile.

Hope it helps.

Same error when using QGIS 3.40.1-Bratislava with Ubuntu 24.04

Installing pandas also worked for me

pip install pandas

I find Conda useful to run QGIS with different Python environments.
