ImportError: No module named 'thread'

Question

when I run mitmproxy command in command line, I get the following error.

% mitmproxy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"/usr/local/bin/mitmproxy\",          


        

Answer 1

Go to you site-packages folder, create a file called thread.py and paste this code in it:

from _thread import *
__all__ = ("error", "LockType", "start_new_thread", "interrupt_main", "exit", "allocate_lock", "get_ident", "stack_size", "acquire", "release", "locked")

This creates an 'alias' for the module _thread called thread. While the _thread module is very small, you can use dir() for bigger modules:

# Examle for the Cookies module which was renamed to http.cookies:
# Cookies.py in site-packages
import http.cookies
__all__ = tuple(dir(http.cookies))

Hope this helps!
