Debug

Known issues

gotchaLibrary name: edx-tincan-py35 but the Python package import is `tincan`. Many users mistakenly try to import `edx_tincan_py35` which does not work.

fix

Use `import tincan` (or `from tincan import ...`)

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is not actively maintained; last release in 2016. It may not work with Python 3.6+ without patches.

fix

Consider using modern alternatives like `xapi-python` or `tincanpython` if you need active support.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe library does not support Python 2.x but the name suggests py35. It only supports Python 3.4 and 3.5. In Python 3.6+ some features like `OrderedDict` usage may break.

fix

Use Python 3.4 or 3.5 explicitly, or upgrade to a maintained fork.

affects: 2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'edx_tincan_py35'

Package name in pip is 'edx-tincan-py35', but the import namespace is 'tincan'.

fix

Use import tincan or from tincan import ...

ImportError: No module named 'tincan'

Package not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run 'pip install edx-tincan-py35' and ensure the environment is Python 3.5 or compatible.

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'definition'

In older versions of the library, Activity's definition may be passed differently. In v2.0.0, definition is a dict, not a separate object.

fix

Use correct constructor: Activity(id='...', definition={'name': {'en-US': '...'}})
