problem install somewhere package
#1
hi
i wanted to install somewhere package in my pc(win 10, python 3.11.5, i use idle), so
I installed it in cmd. below is what I did on cmd:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install somewhere
Collecting somewhere
Downloading somewhere-0.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (8.3 kB)
Installing collected packages: somewhere
Successfully installed somewhere-0.0.1

note that the last version was released in 2016.
but when I wanted to use it I encountered an error message:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>python
Python 3.11.5 (tags/v3.11.5:cce6ba9, Aug 24 2023, 14:38:34) [MSC v.1936 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import somewhere
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\__init__.py", line 7, in <module> from .main import main File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\main.py", line 6, in <module> import where ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'where'
>>> from somewhere import NonNegative
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\__init__.py", line 7, in <module> from .main import main File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\main.py", line 6, in <module> import where ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'where'
>>>

also in idle:
import somewhere
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import somewhere File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\__init__.py", line 7, in <module> from .main import main File "C:\python_3_11_5\Lib\site-packages\somewhere\main.py", line 6, in <module> import where ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'where'
what is the cause of the problem?
thanks

I think this package is broken. It was last updated in 2016 (7 years ago as we speak) with the commit message
Quote:Not totally broken
Also the main page of the project says
Quote:TOTAL CHAOS...for now. Trying to merge the best of both.

Don't expect this package to work well. By the way, don't blindly install packages with pip. It could be dangerous for the security of your system.
