ImportError: cannot import name 'FFProbe' from partially initialized module 'ffprobe' about ffprobe-python HOT 8 OPEN

This is most likely because of the use of the VERY old PyPi package ffprobe, instead of the current one for this project, ffprobe-python

from ffprobe-python.

Do you have any file in your project called ffprobe.py? If you have, rename it with some other name.

I had a file in my project with this name, and that was causing the issue, as the FFProbe class is in a ffprobe.py file.

I was having the same issue when my script file was called ffprobe.py. Check your filename.

There's no filename to check: I ran into this error directly from the Python REPL (as you might have been able to tell from the >>>)!

from ffprobe-python.

Using ffprobe-0.5-py3, python -c 'import ffprobe' Triggers this problem, this is not caused by a file named "ffprobe.py" in cwd.

how did you fix this problem?

Reviving since I'm having the same issue as well. I'm running something using pydub in a Jupyter notebook in a virtual python environment. Both ffmpeg and ffprobe are installed in my environment and located in site-packages. I tried the following at the top of the file:

import sys
sys.path.append('/Users/jake/PycharmProjects/py-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ffmpeg')
sys.path.append('/Users/jake/PycharmProjects/py-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ffprobe')
sys.path.append('/Users/jake/PycharmProjects/py-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ffmpeg')

However, when I do import os; print(os.environ['PATH']), none of the above paths are returned.

Anyone had a look at this thread since then? Stumped on this.
