Python 3.2.4 ImportError: No module named 'responses'

[scarlettlee]

I installed 'responses' to solve the problem

Quick question, did you use tox to run the tests?

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox

[scarlettlee]

No, I used "pip". But there still are some packages I need to download and install myself, like "responses".

[domesticmouse]

The README.md, under building, mentions using tox to build and test the library. The testing dependencies are managed by tox via https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-python/blob/master/test_requirements.txt

Thanks!

Sorry, I still can't get it. I'm rather confused about running the tests.

1. this is a library for calling google map services with python. Am I right?
2. I'm using windows 7. So I don't know how to run the tests by "$ tox" command. The only way I know to run a .py file is right click the file -> Edit with IDLE -> F5.
3. I used "pip install -U googlemaps", "pip install tox" and "pip install [someOtherPackages]" to ensure no errors happen when running the tests like "test_client.py". In fact, errors still happen when I've finished the steps I mentioned.
   class ClientTest(_test.TestCase):
   AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TestCase'
   It messed me up!
4. what does this mean in test_requirements.txt?
   nose
   responses==0.3
   BTW, what exactly could I see if running the tests successfully?

I would appreciate your help very much if you help me with those questions.

Answering your questions:

1. Yes, this is a library for accessing the Google Maps API Web Services from the Python programming language
2. I can see how $ tox would be confusing for a Windows 7 user. $ tox means to run the tox program from the command line. The $ in question is a reference to the bash command line shell that is in common use on Linux and OSX computers.
3. Yes, I can see how the errors you are seeing would be confusing. There is a introduction to Python commond line programming for Python in Python on Windows FAQ. This is but the first step in a long chain of learning.
4. The test_requirements.txt file is a configuration for the tox build system. I suggest reading through this page on the tox automation project.

Programming is an art driven mainly by an unending desire to keep learning. I suggest you run up a Linux machine using either a virtual machine environment, or on a raspberry pi. Learning to master the bash command line will pay good dividends in a lifetime of programming.
