Unresolved import 'anvil.server'

[stucork]

a problem could be that you seem to have pip installed both anvil and anvil-uplink

these may have conflicts since the pypi package named anvil is not associated with anvil.works.

Things to try:

pip uninstall anvil
pip3 install anvil-uplink 
# sometimes pip3 may be required depending on how python is running locally

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anvil.server'; 'anvil' is not a package

can you search for a file called anvil.py and see if you have one that just happens to print something and has variables x, y and data… it’s likely to be in the same directory that you’re working in… edit: we worked it out >>> import anvil >>> anvil.__file__ /users/..../anvil.py delete/rename the conflicting file(s) and it worked

in your script

import anvil
print(anvil.__file__) 
# you may not be importing the anvil-uplink pypi package but something else
# go to this file and see what it is - change the name of the file, rinse and repeat
print(dir(anvil))
# BlobMedia, Button, ...
# if you don't get the obvious anvil dir then you are importing the wrong anvil

You can also try running the uplink script in a virtual environment.
The advantage here is that you install packages within the virtual environment rather than globally.
