TimeLapse Help - ImportError: No module named 'sh'

[evvvonder]

I'm new to python and am trying to write a code that will allow me to take time lapse photographs with my DSLR.

from time import sleep
from datetime import datetime
from sh import gphoto2 as gp
import signal, os, subprocess

shot_date = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
shot_time = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d" "%H:%M:%S")
pidID = "earth_test_3"

clearCommand = ["--folder", "/store_00020001/DCIM/100CANON","-R",
"--delete-all-files"]
triggerCommand = ["--trigger-capture"]
downloadCommand = ["--get-all-files"]

folder_name = shot_date + picID
save_location = "/home/pi/Desktop/earth_test_3/" + folder_name

def createSaveFolder():
    try:
        os.makedirs(save_location)
        print("New save directory created for today!")
    except:
        print("Already created this save directory for today")
    os.chdir(save_location)

def captureImages():
    gp(triggerCommand)
    sleep(3)
    gp(downloadCommand)
    gp(clearCommand)

def renameFiles (ID):
    for filename in os.listdir("."):
        if len(filename) < 13:
            if filename.endswith(".JPG"):
                os.rename(filename, (shot_time + ID + ".JPG"))
                print("Sucess! JPG renamed")
            elif filename.endwith (".CR2"):
                os.rename(filename, (shot_time + ID + ".CR2"))
                print ("Hurray! Raw file renamed")

gp(clearCommand)

while True:
    createSaveFolder()
    captureImages()
    renameFiles(picID)
    sleep (60)

I followed the code from a tutorial, but am receiving this error when I run it through the terminal.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last);
   File "earth_test_4.py", line 3, in <module>
      from sh import gphoto2 as gp
ImportError: No module named 'sh'

Any insight is much appreciated (including any better way to go about a time lapse capture!)
Thanks!

I assume you mean this module?

How to install

pip install sh

I assume you mean this module? How to install

pip install sh

thanks for your help! I tried that before and nothing changed! it ended up going through after doing

sudo pip3 install sh 

I'm not sure yet what the main difference is here.

Now I'm getting:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last);
   File "earth_test_4.py", line 15, in <module>
      folder_name = shot_date + picID 
NameError: name 'picID' is not defined"

any idea what I did incorrectly here?

---edit: I found a simple typo! My mistake

[metulburr]

so the issue is resolved?
