Error when importing the logging module into ESP32 rover module

[obraganza]

I have been trying to import the logging module into my ESP32 rover module
using Thonny, however I always get an error as shown below.

>>> import logging
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/lib/logging/__init__.py", line 618
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have reloaded the library as well as the firmware and tried older versions of firmware getting similar results.
Can someone advise me where the problem maybe.

Thanks

In Thonny, please double check the interpreter configured, in menu Run/Configure Interpreter.

The Error File "/lib/logging/__init__.py", line 618 is a strong indication that you are not importing the MicroPython logging.py module.

• the line number is greater than the length of the micropython module
• the filename __init__.py is different

I assume you have tried to install some other non-MicroPython logging module from somewhere , that does not work on MicroPython.
The logging module is a built-in module on most esp32 firmware.

Yoyu can check by running help("modules") on the micropython repl.

Hi Josverl,

you are right the logging module that I had used was incorrect.
I had used Thonny Tools (Package Manager) to search packages in PyPI and I ended up loading the wrong module.
I have now manually loaded the MicroPython logging module and it worked perfectly.
I could build a MicroPython program over the Arduino cloud using logging and other modules and it is working fine.

Thanks a lot for your help
