[SOLVED] Import error with named tuple and Mapping

Import error with named tuple and Mapping

I have trying to fix an import error with the requests library in Python 3.11. This is to run a Discord bot that I have created. My original error is given as ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' and in response I have tried changing a line from from collections import namedtuple, Mapping to from collections.abc import namedtuple, Mapping. This has not fixed my original error. The new error created is the traceback given below:

ImportError: cannot import name 'namedtuple' from 'collections.abc' (C:\Users\andreas\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\collections\abc.py)

Solution

namedtuple is located in the collections module, Mapping -- in the collections.abc module. Starting from python 3.10 the line from collections import Mapping throws an error. You should separate the two imports, like so:

from collections.abc import Mapping
from collections import namedtuple
