Aspose.Words Product Family

I have installed aspose inside uv with uv add aspose-words everthing seems to have work, I can find the aspose inside the lib folder of the .venv. When I do the python interpreter and import aspose.words as aw it works, but if I create a script and do :

import aspose.words as aw
....

It does not work… and I have a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘aspose.words’; ‘aspose’ is not a package.
Also if I then returned to the python interactive console and do import aspose.words as aw

it show me

File "my_file/path/", line 8, in <module>
    import aspose.words as aw
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aspose.words'; 'aspose' is not a package

It seems that you are encountering a ModuleNotFoundError when trying to import the aspose.words module in your script, even though it works in the interactive Python console. This issue can often arise due to differences in the environment where the script is executed compared to the interactive console.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check Python Environment: Ensure that the script is being executed in the same virtual environment where you installed the aspose-words package. You can do this by checking the Python interpreter path in your script. You can add the following lines at the top of your script to print the Python executable being used:

    import sys
print(sys.executable)

    This will help you confirm that the script is running in the correct environment.

  2. Activate the Virtual Environment: If you are running the script from a terminal, make sure to activate the virtual environment first. You can do this by navigating to your project directory and running:

    • On Windows:
      .venv\Scripts\activate
    • On macOS/Linux:
      source .venv/bin/activate

  3. Check for Typos: Double-check your import statement for any typos. It should be exactly import aspose.words as aw.

  4. Script Location: Ensure that your script is not named aspose.py or any other name that could conflict with the module name. This can cause Python to attempt to import from your script instead of the installed package.

  5. Reinstall the Package: If the issue persists, try reinstalling the aspose-words package. You can do this by running:

    uv remove aspose-words
uv add aspose-words

  6. Check for Multiple Python Installations: If you have multiple versions of Python installed, ensure that you are using the same version in both the interactive console and when running your script.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ModuleNotFoundError and successfully import the aspose.words module in your script. If you continue to experience issues, please provide additional details about your setup, and I would be happy to assist further.
