Dash Tutorial, ImportError

Dash Python
1

Hello,
I’m having trouble running the app.py file from the tutorial at:
https://dash.plot.ly/getting-started

The 5 libraries installed fine using Anaconda Prompt as admin on Windows. Any idea what I’m missing? Thanks.

C:\Users<User>\Documents\Python\Dash\dash-master\dash>python app.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “app.py”, line 2, in
import dash
File “C:\Users<User>\Documents\Python\Dash\dash-master\dash\dash.py”, line 17, in
from .dependencies import Event, Input, Output, State
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Do you happen to have a file or a folder named dash within the folder that you are working in?

A file named “dash.py” in the working folder was the culprit. I changed it to “old.py” and now it works. I also have folders named “Dash” & “dash” though that didn’t seem to matter. Thank you.
