I'm getting this error when trying to run a script on my pi. I try to import datetime but then that errors too. Am i missing a indent or another function?
2020-07-20 13:26:56 - [INFO] doorbell: Listening for codes on GPIO 27
Connected with result code 0 12 384450
Taking photo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "doorbell.py", line 79, in <module>
post_image()
File "doorbell.py", line 20, in post_image
file_name ='image_' + str(datetime.now()) + '.jpg'
AttributeError: module 'datetime' has no attribute 'now'
I've rang the script by going sudo nohup python3 doorbell.py
this is the script.

Any help to solve this would be fantastic please. I'm trying to follow a doorbell that works when it gets the rf code running over home assistant. I can manually run the scripts from HA, when i run the script it errors on the above.
I've been trying to figure this out for a week now but I can't figure it out. my coding is not great but I can do basic python.
Thank you.
Try changing this:
def post_image():
print('Taking photo')
camera.capture('image.jpg')
file_name = 'image_' + str(datetime.now()) + '.jpg'
camera.capture(file_name) # time-stamped image
with open('image.jpg', "rb") as imageFile:
myFile = imageFile.read()
data = bytearray(myFile)
client.publish('dev/camera', data, mqttQos, mqttRetained) #
client.publish('dev/test', 'Capture!') # to trigger an automation later
print(file_name + 'image published')
into this:
def post_image():
print('Taking photo')
camera.capture('image.jpg')
file_name = 'image_' + str(datetime.datetime.now()) + '.jpg'
camera.capture(file_name) # time-stamped image
with open('image.jpg', "rb") as imageFile:
myFile = imageFile.read()
data = bytearray(myFile)
client.publish('dev/camera', data, mqttQos, mqttRetained) #
client.publish('dev/test', 'Capture!') # to trigger an automation later
print(file_name + 'image published')
