ImportError: No module named 'docopt'

[alarichall]

I hope I'm not wasting your time, as I'm very clueless about this sort of thing. When I'm trying to get Linux to work I just fumble about in the dark until something useful happens.

I'm using a Thinkpad X1 yoga 2nd generation
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04
Kernel: 4.10.0-35-generic (I've tried a few versions of the kernel and this seems to work best so far)

I saved your folder to my home folder and got the following:

alarichall@alarichall-ThinkPad-X1-Yoga-2nd:~$ cd thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation-master alarichall@alarichall-ThinkPad-X1-Yoga-2nd:~/thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation-master$ ./thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation.py", line 12, in <module> import dbus, sys, time, subprocess, socket, logging, docopt, multiprocessing, io, os, signal, atexit ImportError: No module named 'docopt'

If you're able to fix this/tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd be grateful. Otherwise, I hope it provides useful feedback for the future.

Thanks!

you need to install a python module, on Ubuntu the most easy way is
sudo apt install python-docopt

The other option is to install pip (using python-pip package) and manage python modules via pip.

Thanks for your prompt reply! Alas, that doesn't seem to be helping. Here's what I get after trying to install docopt:

alarichall@alarichall-ThinkPad-X1-Yoga-2nd:~/thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation-master$ python -m pip install docopt Requirement already satisfied: docopt in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages alarichall@alarichall-ThinkPad-X1-Yoga-2nd:~/thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation-master$ ./thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./thinkpad_x1_yoga_rotation.py", line 12, in <module> import dbus, sys, time, subprocess, socket, logging, docopt, multiprocessing, io, os, signal, atexit ImportError: No module named 'docopt'
If I'm just being incompetent with python, though, don't feel obliged to waste your time on me!

Thanks!

ah, looks like you have python2.7 and python3 installed - both can coexist.

In this case do a sudo apt install python3-docopt.
