"OSError: Starting path not found" when importing spotifycharts

Question

I get the following error when importing spotifycharts:

OSError: Starting path not found

When I do pip freeze it's listed.

Full error:

OSError: Starting path not found

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Was able to find a workaround.

1. Open the settings.py file located in /opt/anaconda3/envs/python39/lib/python3.9/site-packages/spotifycharts/ in above case.
2. Add the full path to the read_env() method

Change

configuration.read_env('spotifycharts/configuration.env')

to

configuration.read_env('/opt/anaconda3/envs/python39/lib/python3.9/site-packages/spotifycharts/configuration.env')
