Python Shell - 'No module named pyevent'

[rjohnstonBK2JP]

I'm working on running some code inside of the python shell but I keep getting this error message and can't seem to solve it. Whenever I run the code I have (and I'm new at this so explain it to me like I'm 5), I get the error message, "Exception : IronPython.Runtime.Exceptions.ImportException: No module named pyevent". The whole error message is below.

From my google searching I found that I'm supposed to install padas inside of my python enviornment but I have no idea how to do this (like I said, I'm new and learning). Here's the link to the website where I found that.

Thank you for your help!

@rjohnstonBK2JP  I'm having the same issue. "ImportException: No module named pyevent".
I opened _init_.py file for Forms with VS and found there on the line 43 import pyevent, but I don't understand where it should import it from.. did you find any solution?

I unfortunately have not found a solution yet. This had to get put on the sidelines for now until I have more time to figure it out myself. I found a partial solution on the GitHub for pyRevit in the issues tab. See link below. I'm going to post another issue in there to see if the developer will respond.

Good news - I solved it!
You need to add the path to "site-packages" in the RevitPythonShell.xml file.

If it still doesn't work then you will need to point PYTHONPATH environment variable to the same "site-packages" folder , but I think the first step solves it.

@sergey.brezgin that worked! All I had to do was

1.  Find the file called 'RevitPythonShell' inside of this folder: C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\RevitPythonShell\2021 and open with notepad.
2. insert that line of code: <SearchPath name="C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit-Master\site-packages" />
3. Save and close

Thank you so much for the help @sergey.brezgin

I experienced similar pyrevit forms trouble related to add-in environment under-configuration.

Configuration:

Revit - 2021.1.3,

RevitPythonShell - 2021.0.0.0 on IronPython 3.4.0,

pyRevit - v4.8.16 on IronPython 3.4.0.

To resolve environment under-configuration I added a pyrevit 'site-packages' search path to RevitPythonShell. Please see the graphic below for details.

Also, for those new to pyRevit & RevitPythonShell (like me) please note that it seems like both add-ins require the same IronPython environment. Otherwise, pyRevit imports into the RevitPythonShell environment will generate IronPython environment related warnings.

I took a cursory look at add-in documentation but nothing jumped out at me in terms of explicit statements regarding IronPython versions for respective add-ins. I arrived at the configuration listed above through intuition and guess & check.
