ImportError: No module named 'aiy'

[amerinoo]

As you can see in the image there is some problem with the imports. I'm using aiyprojects branch.

Hi, If i do what you have done I get the same error
try

1. cd /home/pi/AIY-projects-python
2. source env/bin/activate
3. src/examples/voice/assistant_library_demo.py

[amerinoo]

I have already activated the virtualenv. You can see in the prompt (env) pi@raspberrypi: indicating the virtualenv is working.
Did you try your commands and it works?

[sheridat]

Just suggesting you drop your ssh connection then log back in and do the sequence above.
I'm on the aiyprojects branch and doing it that way works for me.

[amerinoo]

Ok thanks, I will try this and I will give you the feedback. Thanks sheridat!

[amerinoo]

Done. I try it with your same commands and I got the same result...T_T

[drigz]

@amerinoo, can you try this command?

echo "/home/pi/AIY-projects-python/src" > \
  /home/pi/AIY-projects-python/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/aiy.pth

If that doesn't work, try recreating the virtualenv:

cd /home/pi/AIY-projects-python
mv env env.bak
./scripts/install-deps.sh
source env/bin/activate
src/examples/voice/assistant_library_demo.py

You can also try with the latest 2018-01-03 image.

If one of these works, let us know so others can try the same thing.

Hello @drigz I tried eh echo command and this is the output.

After see this output I recreated the env as you said but with the same wrong result.
My next step will be upgrade the image with the latest and see if I can resolve the problem. However, I think should be great to know the cause of my problem because maybe another user have the same problem.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say you should update the Voice Kit SD image with the latest 2018-01-03

[drigz]

I could be that this is a problem that occurs when you switch 2017-09-11 image to use the aiyprojects branch instead of the voicekit branch, due to some changes in path.

If anyone else runs in to it they could try:

echo "/home/pi/AIY-voice-kit-python/src" > \
  /home/pi/AIY-voice-kit-python/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/aiy.pth

but updating the image is very likely to fix the issue.

I have the same issue using aiyprojects-2018-01-03.img.xz on s Rpi0 W v 1.3

When I disable joy_detection_demo.service and try to run joy_detection_demo.py I get import error, no module named 'aiy'. No idea what I am doing incorrectly, or if the source file contains errors.

[maginator]

Same on me. Try it with the aiyprojects-2018-01-03.img. Check_audio.py say no modul aiy.audio.

I've got the same problem. I'm not using an image but trying to install on my own existing Raspbian installation using the instructions here: https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/blob/voicekit/HACKING.md

This must surely be a problem with a newer release of the AIY software since so many people are having it so recently. Is there a way to try an older version?

[drigz]

@kc9xg, @maginator: could you tell me exactly how you're running the scripts? They should be run from within virtualenv / dev terminal. Does "Check Audio" work from the Desktop?

@OscarVanL If you're having trouble using another installation, you can try asking for support on the MagPi forums.

[PaulFinch]

I compared the check audio script with the one in voicekit branch and I added this line just before importing aiy module like Here :

sys.path.append(os.path.realpath(os.path.join(__file__, '..', '..')) + '/src/')

I also used sudo to launch the script as it seems to write inthe /boot/config.txt file.
The script ran "normally" after that ...

[OscarVanL]

Thanks Paul, your solution worked for me.

With the latest 2018-01-03 image all works fine on my Raspberry Pi 3. I'm using just the voice examples as I have the Voice Kit.
