PackageNotFoundError

Anvil Q&A
1

**Sorry, I’m feeling like such a noob to be asking help for each step thus far. But I’m having trouble getting my working local code to run as a server module. When I try to run I get the error below. Is this because it’s having trouble with the python-pptx package or with the PPTX asset that I saved and am referencing? **

Thanks very much in advance!

Code Sample:

Is it possible that I can not store a .pptx under assets? Do I need to upload it to google drive or something similar to make it usable?

I figured it out, the problem was indeed that I was using assets for files. I’m now using Data Files to reference .sql and .pptx files and I think this works.
