No Module Named pydispatch when using pyOpenGL


I have been attempting to follow a tutorial online and I have followed every single line and for some reason I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/User/Desktop/OpenGLContextTest.py", line 2, in <module>

    from pydispatch import dispatcher, robustapply
ImportError: No module named pydispatch

I have attempted searching on google for the chance that this tutorial may be broken or something, but I don't believe it is. I have pydispatch and have attempted to install it using easy_install yet nothing changes. Can someone please help me with this? I know the code is completely correct as after a while I copied and pasted everything to ensure that it wasn't my syntax.


Solution

  • The instructions (apparently incorrectly) say to install pydispatcher. I had the same problem you did until I installed the module PyDispatcher. Confusingly, both exist.
