Fedora 30 - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nacl'

Asked by Danie de Jager on 2019-05-29

I installed dkimpy using

pip3 install dkimpy

on fedora 30. The generation of RSA keys succeeds. It fails when trying to create for ed25519 though. pep8 is installed as well (1.7.1). nacl is installed.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/dknewkey", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('dkimpy==0.9.2', 'console_scripts', 'dknewkey')()

    priv_key = GenEd25519Keys(private_key_file)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dkim/dknewkey.py", line 58, in GenEd25519Keys
    import nacl.signing # Yes, pep-8, but let's not make everyone install nacl
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nacl'

Hi, I have that installed too but still getting the error:

# dnf install python3-libnacl.noarch

Package python3-libnacl-1.6.1-6.fc30.noarch is already installed.

# pip3 install libnacl

It's PyNaCl, not libnacl.

Also, the Fedora package is python3-pynacl. (And python2-pynacl) It is a version 1.3.0 - same as you get from pip.

Thanks Stuart Gathman, that solved my question.

Stuart Gathman (stuart-gathman) said : #6

Offtopic but relevant: python3-libnacl is a different python wrapper for libnacl. It is not interchangeable with pynacl, but an alternate wrapping. I prefer libsodium a maintained and CPU optimized fork of libnacl - and in fact, python3-pynacl and python3-libnacl actually wrap libsodium, not libnacl.
