from stl import mesh fails about numpy-stl HOT 8 CLOSED

Google search brought me here. While using the source from this repo works, alternative is to install the correct package.
python -m pip uninstall stl and
python -m pip install numpy-stl

from numpy-stl.

My guess is that something in your namespace is called stl as well.

Can you test the following code?

import stl
print(stl)
print(stl.__file__)

Hi, I'm having this error too. I also tested the code you provided but it said:

AttributeError: module 'stl' has no attribute 'file'

Could you, please, help me?

Thank you .

This issue is often caused by having a file named stl in your current directory.

Can you show the output from the lines above the error? It should show something

probably you are also using stl package at the same time and your system is confused which one of them should be considered.
I suggest deleting the stl package by performing this command.

pip uninstall stl

from numpy-stl.

I had the same issue on Windows 10. Trying to use numpy-stl as described in its documentation gave this error message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'stl'.
Uninstallation of stl and numpy-stl with subsequent reinstallation of numpy-stl did not change that.

An error regarding setuptools was shown only when going into
~/appdata/Local/Programs/Python/Python38-32/lib/site-packages
and doing python -m pip install numpy-stl from there.
I uninstalled and reinstalled setuptools, wheels and numpy-stl and put $HOME/.local/bin into my search path in ~/.bashrc as was recommemded during one of those installations. This fixed the problem for me.

It seems that the outdated version of setuptools contained easy_install which is not part of newer versions anymore. Possibly my outdated version of setuptools still dated from Python 2.
