Exception has occurred: ImportError x cannot import name 'accounts' from 'brownie'

Question

Setup:

• Windows 10
• Python 3.9.0
• Brownie v1.18.1
• Ganache CLI v6.12.2 (ganache-core 2.13.2)

I'm currently following Patrick's solidity tutorial. I'm at about 4:39:00. Here is my code and the error that is occurring:

Is there a problem with the file init.py?

I've tried uninstalling and installing eth-brownie using the directions here. However I'm still encountering this same error.

For reference the code I am trying to run is the following:

    from brownie import accounts

def deploy_simple_storage():
    #account = accounts[0]
    #print(account)
    account = accounts.load("freecodecamp-account")
    print(account)
print("Done with deploy_simple_storage()")

def main():
    print("Hello!")
    
print("Done with deploy.py")

And the error says "cannot import name 'accounts' from 'brownie'".

Thanks for the help. Not sure what to do.

Answer 1

you're most likely getting this error because you only installed brownie-eth. Uninstall brownie eth and then run

pipx install eth-brownie 

when completed, run pip install brownie

close your terminal and restart Vscode this will work
