core\common.py:496: ModuleNotFoundError

[dickreuter]

In circumstances that I cannot reproduce in a small code example, I get the following error:

When looking at common.py, it seems that main does indeed not exist. Does anybody know why and under what circumstances this is called?

I believe that's IPython-specific logic, but I'm 100% familiar with the rationale behind it.

We probably could except on ModuleNotFoundError in that check as well.

Can you try this on master? I don't even see the function from your traceback there so I assume you are working with an older copy of pandas (though pd.show_versions() would also be helpful)

[dickreuter]

I’m using pandas 0.23.4, which I think is the latest in anaconda.

Under what circumstances is `__main__` not defined? If necessary, we can but that import in a `try / except` block. On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 2:18 AM Nicolas Dickreuter <notifications@github.com> wrote:

In my case I’m running pytest. When I run it individually on the failing test it passes, but then I run it in conjunction with a pylint test, then I get this error.

but then I run it in conjunction with a pylint test, then I get this

error. What do you mean by "pylint test"? Does `__main__` not existing seem strange to anyone else? If it happen as part of a normal workflow, then it'd be fine to catch that exception. But it's abnormal, I'd like to not catch it to avoid hiding a potentially real issue. On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 7:37 AM Nicolas Dickreuter <notifications@github.com> wrote:

WIth pylint test I mean something like the attached. It's a test that runs pylint. The pandas error occurs in a different test, but it only occurs when this pylint test is active.

This PR fixes the issue: #24714

[dickreuter]

It looks like the source of the problem is this: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/blob/master/pylint/lint.py#L145

Pylint is mocking main and then pandas cannot find it. Apparently, this is related to a python bug.

[TomAugspurger]

Thanks for looking. So it's only an issue on Python2?

No it's python3 in my case

[dickreuter]

Actually, the line causing the issue is this: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/blob/master/pylint/lint.py#L153. It's only called when pylint is used in multiprocessing.

Not sure pandas should rely on main existing. Probably a fix would make sense both in pylint and pandas?
