I’m working on a python script in a GH component. When I run the typical: # r: numpy import numpy I sometimes get the following error message : “Error Importing Numpy: you should not try to import numpy from its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch your python inte…

I have seen this happen a few times and made a ticket to look into this and try to see if I can replicate it consistently: RH-80494 ImportError on importing numpy from source directory Add this line to your script and see if it behaves better: # venv: site-packages This will force editor to inst…

Hi @eirannejad I’m testing for another library but it won’t install (based on package(s))? Is this a software bug? tensorflow python -m pip install tensorflow [TensorFlow] [TensorFlow2]

Instead of import TensorFlow use import tensorflow. Also, why not use # r: tensorflow right after the # venv line, before you import tensorflow?

thanks @nathanletwory Is this what you mean?# venv: # r: tensorflow [ttttttt]
