Autojump: ImportError: No module named autojump_argparse

Created on 19 Oct 2015 · 11Comments · Source: wting/autojump

After upgrading to El Capitan and following the instructions to upgrade my macports installation, autojump no longer works. I get the following error when trying to do anything:

$ j phone
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/autojump", line 41, in <module>
    from autojump_argparse import ArgumentParser
ImportError: No module named autojump_argparse
autojump: directory 'phone' not found
Try `autojump --help` for more information.

FWIW, I'm running Manjaro Xfce and my autojump broke when I did a system update (which included getting Python 3.9).

I solved it as so:
pacman -Rns autojump

Then I rebuilt/installed autojump from the AUR (git clone ... cd ... makepkg -si) (I got autojump from the AUR in the first place).

Not sure if if mattered, but I also made the change "#!/usr/bin/python3" --> "#!/usr/bin/env python" in /usr/bin/autojump.

Now it's working again.

I just removed it and reinstalled it via AUR and it works for me. I didn't change anything else.

I had the same issue. Following the instructions for a manual install works perfectly so I would guess this is a problem with the macports package.

See macports ticket #49212

it also happens when working with virtualenvs...

I had to hook my zsh to disable autojump when in a virtualenv to avoid this message...

I'm using virtualenvs on Manjaro KDE and this recently happens to me. Edit the first line of the file /usr/bin/autojump to point to the correct interpreter for which autojump_argparse is installed
"#!/usr/bin/python3" --> "#!/usr/bin/env python"

I'm using pyenv on Arch and unfortunately your solution didn't work for me.

Can you tell me:
1) Directory of the file autojump_argparse.py?
2) Ouput of "echo $PATH"?

Hey @greatluke, I ended up removing the package. But I correctly remember that the file was under /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages, while all the other python packages were under the 3.9 directory (i.e. the freshly updated python version). I don't know autojump didn't get updated.

EDIT: I've just noticed that I made a typo for the directory name; it was /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages for autojump.

Actually the easiest solution is to move 4 .py files: autojump_argparse, autojump_data, autojump_match, autojump_utils to the directory of the python version that you are using.

I met a very weird situation about this.

Below is a part of my init_script.

apt install python &&\
    mkdir -p $DIR/tmp &&\
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wting/autojump.git $DIR/tmp/ &&\
    $DIR/tmp/install.py &&\
    rm -rf $DIR/tmp

I tried this with zsh & oh-my-zsh settings. but it fails:

ImportError: No module named autojump_argparse

However, I succeed when I executed install.py from its directory.

apt install python &&\
    mkdir -p $DIR/tmp &&\
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wting/autojump.git $DIR/tmp/ &&\
    cd $DIR/tmp &&\
    $DIR/tmp/install.py &&\
    cd - &&\
    rm -rf $DIR/tmp

Would it be a key to solve this problem?
