Why am i getting ImportError in this code?

Question

import pyfiglet from termcolor import colored total_colors = ["red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan", "white"] msg = input("What would you like to print? ") col = input("what color?") if col not in total_colors: col = "green" ascii_art = pyfiglet.figlet_format(msg) colored_ascii = colored(ascii_art, color=col) print(colored_ascii)

ImportError: cannot import name 'figlet_format' from 'pyfiglet'

It may be a wrapper on the figlet program (a separate program from Python). You might have to install figlet as well. — Keith

I suspect a name clash. Is there anything called pyfiglet in your project? — Klaus D.

There are some issues i see in your program.

1.install pyfiglet module
pip install pyfiglet

2.msg = input("What would you like to print? ")
no need to take in put on this line as next line takes input and logic of your program is based on the next input

3.ascii_art = pyfiglet.figlet_format(msg) colored_ascii = colored(ascii_art, color=col) print(colored_ascii)

The above line should be

ascii_art = pyfiglet.figlet_format(col) colored_ascii = colored(ascii_art, color=col) print(colored_ascii)

I installed the pyfiglet module and did implement modified program

import pyfiglet from termcolor import colored total_colors = ["red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan", "white"] msg = print("What would you like to print? ") col = input("what color?") if col not in total_colors: col = "green" ascii_art = pyfiglet.figlet_format(col) colored_ascii = colored(ascii_art, color=col) print(colored_ascii)

Output:

What would you like to print? what color?blue [34m _ _ | |__ | |_ _ ___ | '_ \| | | | |/ _ \ | |_) | | |_| | __/ |_.__/|_|\__,_|\___| [0m

I know it sounds obvious but make sure that the lib is installed on your computer. If it is then make sure the lib is installed the same place your Python is installed.
