Import Error

[Luka De Bolle]

When I enter the cif2cell command (cif2cell hcp.cif -p quantum-espresso -o c5hcp.in) to convert the cif-file to QE format, I get following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/max/.local/bin/cif2cell”, line 36, in <module>
from cif2cell.elementdata import ElementData
ImportError: cannot import name ‘ElementData’ from ‘cif2cell.elementdata’ (/home/max/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cif2cell/elementdata.py)

Does anyone know how I can fix this error? Thanks in advance.

To me this looks like a cif2cell problem (as it fails to import it’s own module), maybe try updating cif2cell?

Did this error message disappear — just as the previous ones did — when you reinstalled your environment last week? Or is it still there?
