Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Alimt

✓ from aliyunsdkalimt.request.v20181012 import TranslateGeneralRequest from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient

✗ from aliyun_sdk_alimt import Alimt import alimt

The old path was changed in v2. The correct import uses subpackages based on API version. The top-level package 'aliyunsdkalimt' must be used, not 'aliyun_sdk_alimt'.

Quick start: create an AcsClient with credentials from environment variables, then translate text.

import os from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient from aliyunsdkalimt.request.v20181012 import TranslateGeneralRequest client = AcsClient( os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID', ''), os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET', ''), 'cn-hangzhou' ) request = TranslateGeneralRequest() request.set_FormatType('text') request.set_SourceLanguage('en') request.set_TargetLanguage('zh') request.set_SourceText('Hello') response = client.do_action_with_exception(request) print(response.decode())

Known issues

breakingIn v3, the API version suffix changed from v20181012 to v20181012 (no change). However, the package structure was reorganized. If you were using v1 (aliyun-python-sdk-alimt<2.0), you must update imports from 'alimt' to 'aliyunsdkalimt'.

fix

Use from aliyunsdkalimt.request.v20181012 import * and install aliyun-python-sdk-core-v3.

affects: >=3.0.0

gotchaThe core library aliyun-python-sdk-core must be installed separately; it does not come as a dependency automatically. Use pip install aliyun-python-sdk-core.

fix

pip install aliyun-python-sdk-core

affects: all

deprecatedAttribute 'set_*' methods (like set_FormatType) are being deprecated in favor of direct properties in future versions. Currently both work.

fix

Use request.FormatType = 'text' instead of request.set_FormatType('text').

affects: >=3.1.0

gotchaThe API endpoint defaults to 'mt.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com'. If your Region is not cn-hangzhou, you must set the endpoint region explicitly via client.set_region_id('your-region') or AcsClient's third argument.

fix

Pass the correct region to AcsClient (e.g., 'ap-southeast-1').

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aliyunsdkcore'

The required core library is missing.

fix

pip install aliyun-python-sdk-core

aliyunsdkcore.acs_exceptions.error_code: InvalidAccessKeyId.NotFound

The provided AccessKey ID or Secret is incorrect or the environment variables are not set.

fix

Ensure ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET are set correctly.

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'

Passing a string to SourceText when using SDK v3.0 incorrectly. The set_SourceText method expects a string correctly.

fix

This error typically occurs if you use the request incorrectly. Ensure you are calling set_SourceText with a plain string, not a dict or list.
