No module named "dateparser"

[RT3K]

Im getting this error when starting main.py. I did no changes to the files.

[Shaun-Harrison]

Did you follow the instructions here first?

All instructions there are required to be ran first

Looks to me though like a python package is missing - something along the lines of pip3 install dataparser or pip install dataparser depending on what version of pip you have installed

[RT3K]

I did the instructions up to the point where i have to git the file. I took yours .

[RT3K]

Other question. Can i add chia coin to the list ? And how do i do that ?

[Shaun-Harrison]

As long as the coin is in this list - https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/list you can add it in!

For adding you'll need too

• Open main.py
• Add the coin ID into the list on line 21
• Add a new elif statement in line 34 for the new coin
• If the value of the coin is less than $1 then you may need to open data\plot.py and add a new if statement in line 46

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, let me know how you get on

[RT3K]

I get the same error no module named dateparser. When i remove the module out of main.py then i get the error no module named pytz.
I reinstalled pip3 and pandas and the system says me that i have these modules installed but they doesnt work in main.py

[Shaun-Harrison]

What command are you using to run the script?

Trying to think of what could be the issue if the modules are installed

[Shaun-Harrison]

Here is the list of packages I have installed

NOTE: There are two versions of dataparser - maybe this is the issue?

So after installing the original version we just substitute main and change some lines, correct?

[Mathostx]

Any ideas why this is happening? Installed and worked (the original BTC ticker)
Then I just substituted the original main.py with yours.

Hello, I have made changes in other areas not just main.py

You need the whole of this repo cloned

Did you find a solution? Because I have the same problem. But I cloned the whole repo of Shaun and override it over the files of dr-mod

[devjstr]

I had the same problem with datepraser, so i commend it out on configuration.cfg. But then the problems with epd2in13v3 kicks in. The epd2in13bv3 screen just works fine but on the epd2in13v3 screen this problem appears:

pi@pi:~ $ python3 ~/zero-btc-screen/main.py
module 'presentation.screens' has no attribute 'epd2in13v3'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pijan/zero-btc-screen/config/builder.py", line 16, in bind
package = getattr(screens, screen.lower())
AttributeError: module 'presentation.screens' has no attribute 'epd2in13v3'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pijan/zero-btc-screen/main.py", line 99, in
main()
File "/home/pijan/zero-btc-screen/main.py", line 81, in main

File "/home/pijan/zero-btc-screen/config/builder.py", line 27, in bind
raise BtcConfigError(
config.builder.BtcConfigError: Cannot instantiate epd2in13v3

EDIT: I looked into the folder (/cryptoTickerGraph-main\presentation\screens) and there is no file for the edp2in13v3 screen. Only for edp2in13v2 and edp2in13bv3, so it will not work, whatever i do :(((

For those with the original issue of No module named "dateparser"

I've figured this out while re installing this repo

You need to run

pip install dateparser

pip3 install a dateparser, but not the 'right' one, which I don't know why, but i had to uninstall pip3 dataparser, and only have pip dateparser

[JBP3D]

I had the dataparser error and using the install command fixed that but I still get this error when I try to run it.
Original Zero BTC screen works fine

[Shaun-Harrison]

You just need to create a folder in /var/log called python

It may need the file called cryptoGraph.txt but that should get created

[JBP3D]

thank you for the reply.

I created the folder, using the python3 command I first get a permission error for that cryptoGraph.txt, using sudo fixes that but then I get an modulenotfound error.

[Shaun-Harrison]

Can you try either

pip install waveshare-epd or pip3 install waveshare-epd

[JBP3D]

pip install waveshare-epd or pip3 install waveshare-epd

requirements already satisfied..

Oh well I give up. appreciate the help!

[Shaun-Harrison]

Sorry about that!

It's currently not working for me but that's due to the newer version of Raspi i'm running

When I get time I'll re install an older version and see if I can get it working with all the required steps

No worries, you've been very helpful!
I'm running on a Pi zero 2W with raspberry pi os lite (32bit)

[JBP3D]

been trying a bit again but got this error now:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/pi/cryptoTickerGraph/presentation/screens/epd2in13v2.py", line 42, in
last_prices = [x[3] for x in prices]
TypeError: 'float' object is not subscriptable

I had this error and have been updating a few lines. Now I don't get such errors anymore but I get
error: prices is not in the expected format
error: prices is not in the expected format
error: prices is not in the expected format

and the screen shows the lines for the graph, but no data or price

any advice? thanks
