pythonpandapower

name 'TextPath' is not defined

I've tried running a program which imports the Pandapower library, and I get the Error:

NameError: name 'TextPath' is not defined

I installed Pandapower via pip install normally, and it works good, but it seems to have Problems with "pandapower.plotting.collections" and the class "class CustomTextPath(TextPath):"

Minimal Code:

import pandapower as pp

import pandapower.plotting as plot

TracebacK: Traceback (most recent call last): File "-\Test.py", line 2, in <module> import pandapower.plotting as plot File "-\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pandapower\plotting\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from pandapower.plotting.collections import * File "-\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pandapower\plotting\collections.py", line 36, in <module> class CustomTextPath(TextPath): NameError: name 'TextPath' is not defined

Solution

  • This is a bug in pandapower. They depend on having matplotlib installed. The code catches its absence with a try/except but still tries to use the elements it would have imported. So, do a pip install matplotlib and you should be good.
