Distance sensor with 16x2 lcd display- ImportError: cannot import name lcddriver

Question

Happy new year. I am working on a personal project which involves a distance sensor and a LCD display. The distance sensor's data should ideally be displayed on the 16x2 LCD display. The codes for the sensor works. However, when I tried to import "lcddriver"(which contains codes for the LCD display) , it shows:

"ImportError: cannot import name lcddriver"

I cloned please click on me to see the codes that I used... this into my raspberry pi terminal and "lcddriver" is in my file.

this is how my code looks in "distance.py": https://github.com/jumejume1/pi-LCD-Ultrasonic/blob/master/distance-lcd.py

Why is there an import error?

Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

I expect the error is given because there is no module named lcddriver.py which is what import lcddriver will be looking for.

Rename lcddriver to lcddriver.py.
