I’m having problems connecting to AirTable using Python and keep getting an error.
I’m trying to work with AirTable’s API through Python and installed the python wrapper for it. When I try to run my code, I keep getting this error message:
AttributeError: module 'airtable' has no attribute 'Airtable'
I followed the setup instructions but something seems to be wrong with how I’m importing or using the module. Has anyone else run into this problem? I’m not sure if it’s an installation issue or if I’m missing something in my code setup.
check if you have a file called airtable.py in your project folder - that messed me up for hours! python was importing my local file instead of the actual package. rename it to something else and try again
I encountered the same issue earlier while working on a project. It turned out to be a conflict with earlier packages I had installed. The key is to ensure that you only have the latest version of the correct AirTable package. First, uninstall any existing airtable packages using pip uninstall airtable, and verify through your site-packages directory. Then install pyairtable, which should resolve the problem. Additionally, ensure there’s no conflicting local file named airtable.py in your project directory.
hey, you might’ve gotten a diff airtable package. there’re a few out there. try pip uninstall airtable and then pip install pyairtable. it works way better!
I faced a similar issue while working on a project that required Airtable integration. The problem usually arises from having the incorrect package installed, as there are several variations on PyPI. It’s essential to confirm that you’re using pyairtable, not airtable or airtable-python-wrapper, which are outdated. Run pip freeze | grep -i airtable to see which versions you have. It’s advisable to uninstall all Airtable-related packages and then reinstall pyairtable. This should help eliminate the AttributeError. Remember to use the import statement: from pyairtable import Api for proper functionality.
