I follow the USER GUIDE [Build Your Own Components | Dash for Python Documentation | Plotly](https://plot.ly/dash/plugins)  
But in the Step 5, I can’t import myapp

> In [1]: import myapp  
> File “\< string \>”, line 1  
> class src\components\ExampleComponent(Component):

```
                                                      ^

```

> SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

how to solve it error …?

</div>

the path in metadata.json is from “src/components/ExampleComponent” to “src\components\ExampleComponent” when using

> python setup.py install

for win10 system… and make that error …  
,and the bundle.js is not available …  
so i copy the metadata.json and bundle.js to

> python\Lib\site-packages\myapp-0.0.1-py3.6.egg\myapp

, and it pass to perform locally finally. 😆

Exactly , for the win 10

1. when using

> npm install

the path in metadata.json is

> “src\\components\\ExampleComponent.react.js”

, so the dash moudle can’t read it , you need just `

> change \\ to /

1. For \_\_ init \_\_ .py file, you need to remove “[https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15.4.2/dist/react-dom.min.js](https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15.4.2/dist/react-dom.min.js)” if you want to run your app locally.

then, you can run sucessfully 😀
