Hi,
I am a novice and need some help with an import error.
Thanks,
CDB

Why not use the example code?

from influxdb import InfluxDBClient

PS: Be aware, that there are two different InfluxDB Client Libraries, one for 1.x and one for 2.x

Thanks - that works and is that 1.x or 2.x?

If you are working with InfluxDBv1 I would use the Python client V1 and if you are working with InfluxDBv2 the V2 client. Here you can find the two clients:

V1.0 : GitHub - influxdata/influxdb-python: Python client for InfluxDB

V2.0 : GitHub - influxdata/influxdb-client-python: InfluxDB 2.0 python client
