Import and run issues

[jagauthier]

After installing the package, the examples all start with:
import qwiic
That doesn't seem to work.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qwiic'

The main github page shows:
import qwiic_vl53l1x

And that code errors:
AttributeError: 'QwiicVL53L1X' object has no attribute 'isConnected'

When I get a chance, I'll fix this. Note to self:

• Add isConnected method
• Fix examples to use qwiic_vl53l1x package directly

@jagauthier An easy workaround for running the examples is to install the overall Qwiic_Py package:

sudo pip3 install sparkfun-qwiic

This will also install the Qwiic_I2C_py package that this package is dependent on.

did
sudo pip3 install sparkfun-qwiic
but the error remains...

hello,
I also installed 'sudo pip3 install sparkfun-qwiic'
but Qwiic-VL53L1X has no attribute 'isConnected'

What should we do?
Please reply this question.

The work around was to get import qwiic to run.

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to resolve this issue yet. The isConnected() method is not available, users can just comment out this section of the example code shown in the README.md file:

if mySensor.isConnected() == False:
	print("The Qwiic VL53L1X device isn't connected to the system. Please check your connection", \
		file=sys.stderr)
	return
