New to programming -- Keep getting AttributeError

[diordaemon]

I'm on Windows 10. Running python 3.7 on a conda virtual env. Using VScode.

I have tried to install swisseph and pyswisseph in every way possible to try and get it to work. I finally got swisseph working and recognized as a module, and I'm using chatgpt to help me write code and learn how to integrate the ephermis into the gpt api. We're going through the steps and it gave me the example code below to use to connect with postman/flask and run the calculate_planet_position function.

The problem is that when I run it, the attribute swe.MERCURY and swe.FLG_SPEED and swe.FLG_SWIEPH and the other attributes are just not being recognized for some reason by my terminal.

I keep getthing the error: AttributeError: module 'swisseph' has no attribute 'FLG_SWIEPH

I dont know what I'm doing wrong. Was hoping to get some help with this.

`
from flask import Flask, request
import swisseph as swe

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/planet_position', methods=['GET'])
def planet_position():
    # Get the parameters from the request
    date = float(request.args.get('date'))
    longitude = float(request.args.get('longitude'))
    latitude = float(request.args.get('latitude'))


    # Call the calculate_planet_position function to get the planet's position
    planet_longitude, planet_latitude = calculate_planet_position(date, longitude, latitude)

    # Return the planet's position as a JSON response
    return {
        'planet_longitude': planet_longitude,
        'planet_latitude': planet_latitude
    }

def calculate_planet_position(date, longitude, latitude):
    """

    flags = swe.FLG_SWIEPH | swe.FLG_SPEED
    position_format = swe.FLG_EQUATORIAL | swe.FLG_SPEED | swe.FLG_TRUEPOS

    # Set the observer location
    observer_location = [longitude, latitude, 0]

    # Calculate the planet's position
    planet_position = swe.calc_ut(date, planet, flags)
    planet_longitude, planet_latitude, _ = swe.calc_ut(planet_position[0], planet, position_format)

    # Convert the planet's position to the observer's location
    swe.set_topo(observer_location[0], observer_location[1], observer_location[2])
    swe.set_sid_mode(swe.SIDM_LAHIRI)
    planet_longitude, planet_latitude, _ = swe.get_topo(planet_longitude)

Could you run pip list? To confirm the pyswisseph version you have installed.

[mnsarma]

you have to add path first, to use any functions.
