Module missing while the module trying to import is already there

Question

from PIL import Image
from pytesser import *

image_file = 'E:\Downloads\menu.tiff'
im = Image.open(image_file)
text = image_to_string(im)
text = image_file_to_string(image_file)
text = image_file_to_string(image_file, graceful_errors=True)
print ("=====output=======\n")
print (text)

See the error shows no module is found but the util file is here in the directory of tesseract itself.I have no idea why its happening showing its not found.

My question is extremely simple from inside init.py how to import util.py and errors.py

Answer 1

This package needs a relative import (see PEP328).

A solution would be to replace

import util
import errors

by

from . import util
from . import errors

This change was introduced in python 2.5 (September 19th 2006), so I totally agree with @DanielRoseman, you should look for another library. You can find OCR packages on PyPi or GitHub for example.

EDIT: corrected typo in module name

Answer 2

The library you are using appears not to have been touched for more than six years. It is not compatible with Python 3.

Find another library.
