Unable to import apicontrollers in python 3.5.2

[CRiva]

I am working on a project for my place of employment using the python sdk, and am receiving a massive error when trying to from authorizenet import apicontrollers.

In my module authorize_net_api.py I have made my own class to interface with the sdk.

it starts with:

import os, sys
import imp
from authorizenet import apicontractsv1
from authorizenet import apicontrollers
from authorizenet.utility import *
from authorizenet import utility

through the process of elimination I commented the lines out and tested one by one to see which line was giving the error, and sure enough, it was the apicontrollers

when running my own tests using tox, I'm not even testing the API yet, just importing my class, I get this

I was hoping you could advise and help.

Thank you.

@CRiva , please take a look at the authorizenet sdk python sample code at https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sample-code-python for help on how to use the python sdk. Try running the payment Transactions as given in the sample code.
There could be some problem in your class or the python environment packages which was used to interact with the sdk.

[CRiva]

That's the thing, I'm not even interacting with the sdk yet.

Yes I've written my class, but I'm not even calling any of the methods within it yet, all I'm doing is importing the file.

To test, just to be sure, I copy/pasted the code from https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sample-code-python/blob/master/TransactionReporting/get-settled-batch-list.py and attempted to just import the file.

and still it was the from authorizenet.apicontrollers import getSettledBatchListController that caused this same error.

[CRiva]

I ran another small test.

It appears that the API works fine when I initiate from the same file, but when I try to import the file to use elsewhere, it errors out with the large error I put before.

[CRiva]

Okay, I tried one more thing that I found here: pypa/pip#5079

Apparently the request library really messes some things up in the importing process.

Since I use the request package in this project as well, I was importing that before my authorize net class and it was erroring out.

By just reversing the import order, the error went away.

So this is probably not an issue with your code, but an issue with the python requests' code.

[Sapbasu15]

@CRiva , seems like you are using the upgraded requests package. This would be similar to the issue #95 opened recently. We are looking into that issue and having explicit dependency on requests library.

[CRiva]

@Sapbasu15 Thank you for pointing that out to me, and updating me on the situation. I will make sure I have my imports in the correct order for the time being until the problem is resolved.

Fix is part of new sdk release 1.1.0
