Issue running prisma in IPython (Dataspell IDE)

[VenkatTeja]

Hi, am facing issue running prisma on IPython (Jupyter) using DataSpell IDE.
I have successfully installed prisma, ran prisma generate. but while trying to import Prisma, getting error that prisma generate is not run (screenshot attached)
However, its working if I run the same using terminal using the same venv as the IDE.
Any help?

Hi @VenkatTeja, sorry to hear this isn't working for you. Admittedly I haven't tested Prisma Client Python with IPython yet.

Thanks for providing the screenshot!

What does this code output for you in IPython?

import prisma
print(prisma.__file__)

D:\Neev\returns-analysis\venv\lib\site-packages\prisma\__init__.py
Its pointing to my virtual env.

Hey @VenkatTeja, sorry for the late reply, I missed your reply.

Then it looks like the issue is that when you're running prisma generate your virtualenv is not active and when you're importing it, your virtualenv is active so it doesn't know about the generated code.

Unfortunately I cannot provide a solution as I am unfamiliar with IPython but if you can find a way to active your virtual environment when running the bash command then it should work.

I had the same issue and it turned out to be __pycache__ file permissions, which were generated from a Docker container. @RobertCraigie I believe generate uses a copytree somewhere and crashes when going over root owned files, should __pycache__ folders be ignored explicitly? (this is likely a different issue).

Great job at porting Prisma to python!

Thanks @ezorita! In the reported issue prisma generate seems to run successfully, in your case did it crash?

I've pushed a fix that disables __pycache__ folders and *.pyc files from being copied during generation.
