Ethereum: Syntax Error while Importing Module on Ubuntu 16.04

After an initial phase of testing among different Binance API alternative implementations, I decided to try the most diffused one: python-binance.

I’m using Python 3.5 on Ubuntu

Installing Necessary Packages

Before we can proceed, it’s essential to ensure that all necessary packages are installed on our system. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Install pip (Python Package Manager)

First, let’s update the package index and install pip:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Install Binance Python Library

Next, we’ll install the Python-Binance library using Pip. Run the following command:

python3 -m pip install python-binance

Importing the Module

Now that all the necessary packages are installed, let’s import the module and try to run our first script.

Update Binance Python Library Installation (If Necessary)

Make sure your installation is up to date by running:

Pip3 Install --Upgrade Python-Binance

After updating, try importing the module:

import binance

Error Message

Unfortunately, even after successfully installing the necessary packages and importing the module, I encountered a syntax error while trying to use it.

What’s Happening?

The binance import statement does not recognize my Python 3.5 installation. The issue is most likely due to the fact that the library was installed for Python 3.6 or later on your system.

Solutions

To resolve this issue, try updating your pip version to match the one required by python-binance (which is Python 3.5). Run:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

This should fix the syntax error and allow you to successfully import the module.

Alternatively, you can also downgrade your pip installation to use an older version of Python that supports the Binance Python library:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-pip

pip3 install --upgrade binance

With these steps in place, you should be able to import the binance module without encountering any syntax errors.
