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.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

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

1	pip install sh

I assume you mean this module? How to install

1	pip install sh

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

1	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?
