I was attempting to import avro and encountered this error.
$ python

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Going back to pip I noticed there’s a “avro-python3” package so I uninstalled
the “avro” package and installed that since I am using Python 3.5.1. Now I can
import io, but I have a different error:
$ python

>>> from avro.io import validate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name ‘validate'
I’d like to use this library
https://github.com/linkedin/python-avro-json-serializer
<https://github.com/linkedin/python-avro-json-serializer> which imports
validate. Unless there’s some other way to get the same functionality using
avro directly? Essentially, I have a Python dict representing AVRO data and a
Python dict representing the AVRO Schema I want to use. I just need to generate
JSON with type annotations and all that jazz that AVRO requires.
This should be easy, no? I feel like I’m missing something here.
