ImportError : No module named 'enchant' about django-tinymce4-lite HOT 7 CLOSED

Looks like the dependency was removed from the requirements.txt, but the software still depends on it here

from django-tinymce4-lite.

I was able to temporarily get around this issue by setting the following in my Django settings:

TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER = False

from django-tinymce4-lite.

I cannot reproduce your error. TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER option defaults to False, that is, without this option in project's settings.py enchant module won't be imported. That is why it is not listed as a dependency - the package does not depend on it by default.

You have described the bug. The software currently supports a flag called TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER , but it has an implicit dependency on a third party library. The implicit dependency is the bug itself.

Django Tinymce also has this issue, but they handle the exception with a helpful error.

I'm happy to submit a PR to fix. Two options off the top of my head:

• Add the dependency to requirements.txt and update docs (best option).
• Do what Django Tinymce does and catch this exception (better that current).

Context:

• https://12factor.net/dependencies
• https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/#id3

from django-tinymce4-lite.

There is no bug. By default the spellchecker is disabled and you won't get any error. The documentation explicitly states that you need to install pyenchant for the spellchecker to work. If a user does not reads the documentation, it is their problem.

The dependency on pyenchant was removed to address the situation when a user does not use spellchecker or when pyencnant/enchant libraries are not available/broken on their system, like in #1.

Thanks

Although I agree that more explicit error message will be helpful. I will add it in the next release.
