Airflow: ImportError: No module named configparser

Question

Environment: Python 2.7.5 & Centos 7

I have successfully installed airflow using:

pip install apache-airflow

But when I run

airflow initdb,

it says:

 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/airflow", line 21, in <module> from airflow import configuration File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/airflow/__init__.py", line 35, in <module> from airflow import configuration as conf File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/airflow/configuration.py", line 38, in <module> from backports.configparser import ConfigParser ImportError: No module named configparser

What am I missing?

There is a JIRA Ticket mentioning the same issue. I am not sure whether this fix is available! — Sohaib Farooqi

Can you let me know the Airflow version you have installed. Can you update your python version to 2.7.14? — kaxil

The issue is you have installed a wrong package. airflow was renamed to apache-airflow from 1.8.1. The website you used has outdated docs.

Please install using the following command

export AIRFLOW_GPL_UNIDECODE=yes pip install apache-airflow

This should install 1.10.0 which is the latest stable version and resolve your issues.
