Python Forum

I am writing a Python script, which returns topics from a Discourse forum based on a user-entered search query.

CONTEXT

To start, I've built an API wrapper for the Discourse API. The code is available here https://github.com/jasonblais/mattermost-helpdesk

The structure is simple:

.
├── requirements.txt
├── tests
│ ├── test_discourse_wrapper.py // tests my wrapper is working as expected
└── discourse_api_wrapper
│ ├── __init__.py // initializer that creates a requests session used for all HTTP interactions with the Discourse API
│ ├── discourse.py // creates a Discourse class, which makes an API call to Discourse and returns the response

ISSUE

To run the tests I execute this command from the root directory. Note that DISCOURSE_API_KEY is a parameter in discourse_api_wrapper/__init__.py

DISCOURSE_API_KEY='<my-api-key>' python3 -m pytest tests/

I get the following output

Output:
============================= test session starts ==============================

How do I resolve this error, or troubleshoot it?

I'm new to Python (and programming in general) and doing a Google search didn't resolve it thus far.

Many thanks in advance!

I don't know how you're getting that error, since you're not trying to import the session. Is the code on github the same code that generates the error?

Thanks for the reply!

It is the same code, I just pushed it upstream this morning to GitHub before creating this thread.

Could I be missing a package I have to first install for Python?
