Python 2.7.3 tempfile.py, ln34, from random import Random as _Random

[dbv]

In Python 2.7.3, at ln34 the source file tempfile.py states:

from random import Random as _Random

But, Random is a Class.

The project imports werkzeug and using PyInstaller, the Traceback is:

Is this a bug? Or, is there some workaround available? Thx.

This is not a problem. You can import arbitrary objects from a module.

The project imports werkzeug and using PyInstaller, the Traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know about PyInstaller or werkzeug, but the most likely cause is
that you shaded the standard library's random module with your own random.py
which doesn't contain an object named "Random". Here's a demonostration:

Normal behaviour:

$ python -c 'from random import Random as _Random'

Now add an empty random.py:

$ touch random.py
$ python -c 'from random import Random as _Random'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name Random

Back to normal:

$ rm random.pyc random.py
$ python -c 'from random import Random as _Random'

Have you just tried the following:

import random
print dir(random.random)
print random.__file__

I suspect you have another random.py (or equivalent) in your sys.path

I have a number of .py source files and one source file has an "import random" and another has "import werkzeug".

The project works perfectly in the Python interpreter.

Problem appears when using PyInstaller.

How do get out of jail?
