AttributeError: module 'liwc' has no attribute 'load_token_parser' about liwc-python HOT 6 OPEN

Hi there!

I want to echo the thanks for making this. I was wondering if there is any update on this issue as I am also still getting the "module 'liwc' has no attribute 'load_token_parser'". There aren't any other viable options to use LIWC in python so I would really appreciate an acknowledgement or update on this. Again, can't thank you enough for your work on this!

I also encounter the same problem "module 'liwc' has no attribute 'load_token_parser'"... Completely lost 😢

Taking a wild guess here since I don't have nearly enough context, but I expect anyone running into this has an unrelated liwc.py or liwc/__init__.py in their working directory, which will shadow the pip-installed package.

Normal good case:

Confusing shadow case:

If this is your problem, the solution is to name your files / directories something different.

thank you for your reply! I'm also new to python. I send an email to Dr.Pennebaker and he attached this file to me. I had problem running
import liwc
parse, category_names = liwc.load_token_parser('my path')

I don't know if there's something to be done to this file before running python.

This is the file overview🙏

btw It is so hard for an English major student to learn python from scratch😭

I simply left this problem for two days and did nothing. Suddenly it was fixed. Don't know what happened. 😉
