Error while trying to import BaseEventEmitter from pyee

[pravarag]

Description

I tried to run an app based on slackeventsapi locally and got the below error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'BaseEventEmitter' from 'pyee' (/home/main-user/work/py-virtual-envs/venv-slackbot/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyee/__init__.py). Did you mean: 'EventEmitter'?

Above line indicates to the call here
And when I checked in pyee documentation regarding BaseEventEmitter, it seems it has been deprecated as per this link

If I change the definition to below line in init.py to:

from pyee import EventEmitter as BaseEventEmitter

it works as expected.

Hi @pravarag, thanks for reporting this. Indeed, this library is not compatible with pyee's latest major version 12.x.

#108 , which is included in v3.0.3, narrowed the supported pyee versions, but when you install pyee's latest version anyway, your situation can arise. The immediate suggestion is to use pyee 11.x, but this project may support 12+ in the future.

With that being said, there is no merit in continuing to use this library for Slack's Events API handling (please read this important notice). Please consider using bolt-python with its Flask adapter: https://github.com/slackapi/bolt-python/tree/main/examples/flask
