ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bigchaindb_driver'

Question

I'm using Django with Python 3.6.3 and Windows 7. I'm trying to install BigchainDB driver and want to use IPDB. I run this pip install bigchaindb and I guess it executed successfully. I import bigchaindb_driver like that from bigchaindb_driver import BigchainDB. But when i run the server using python manage.py runserver it gives me this error. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bigchaindb_driver'

My code look like this:

import os
from bigchaindb_driver import BigchainDB> 
tokens = {}
tokens['app_id'] = 'my-app-id'
tokens['app_key'] = 'my-apy-key'
bdb = BigchainDB('https://test.ipdb.io', headers=tokens)

My questions are:

• If i want to use IPDB, i still have to install bigchainDB on my local machine?
• What exactly i need to start a project on bigchainDB, as i have installed MongoDB and RethinkDB but i don't exactly know weather i need them or not.

Answer 1

You also need to install the BigchainDB Python driver using pip install bigchaindb_driver.

In your Python code, there should be no > at the end of the line from bigchaindb_driver import BigchainDB>, i.e. it should just be:

from bigchaindb_driver import BigchainDB
