Known issues

gotchaThis package is not affiliated with the original `cowsay` package on PyPI (which is a wrapper around the system cowthink/cowsay). `cowsay-python` is a standalone Python implementation. Do not confuse them.

fix

Use `import cowsay` for this package. The other package is imported as `cowsay.main`.

affects: all

gotchaOnly a limited set of characters (cow, trex, rabbit, etc.) are available. Not all classic cowsay animals are implemented.

fix

Check the source code or docs for available functions.

affects: <2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named 'cowsay'

The package is not installed or installed under a different name (e.g., `cowsay-python` vs `cowsay`).

fix

AttributeError: module 'cowsay' has no attribute 'cow'

Using an older version (<1.0) or confusing with the original `cowsay` package.
