I can't use mingus library

Packaging
1

Hi,
I wanted to implement music in python, and I found the mingus library.
I’m currently using Python 3.9 on VSC, (which works with other programs) and I installed mingus (I checked after installing it), but when I try to use it :
import mingus.core.notes as notes
print(notes.augment(“C”))

an error appears :
partially initialized module ‘mingus’ has no attribute ‘core’ (most likely due to a circular import)

but it isn’t a circular import as my file’s name isn’t mingus or anything related
so I don’t understand why it doesn’t work.

Thanks

It works fine for me:

❯ pip install mingus

Sorry I can’t suggest anything more concrete, but maybe try reinstalling the package? You’re clearly already aware of the possibility of a stray mingus.py or mingus.pyc file on your path, so that doesn’t seem to be the problem (although personally, that’s the sort of thing I’d double check - I’ve been caught out by not clearing out unexpected .pyc files before now… :slightly_frowning_face:)
