Pycharm packages needed to write a custion script

[omidkhazdooz]

Hi everybody,

I am fairly new to custom scripting and I can't figure out what modules are needed for the below libraries:

from django.utils.text import slugify
from dcim.choices import DeviceStatusChoices, SiteStatusChoices
from dcim.models import Device, DeviceRole, DeviceType, Manufacturer, Site
from extras.scripts import *

I don't see dcim being available to download and install in pycharm
also installed extras but still getting the following error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extras.scripts'

I aslo have pynetbox installed with no luck.

only thing that seems to work is django

any help is appreciated

Hi,

NetBox is not a standard Python package that you can install via pip like pynetbox. These modules you're trying to import (dcim, extras.scripts, etc.) are part of NetBox itself, not standalone Python packages.

To work with NetBox's custom scripting, you'll need to:

1. Set up a Python virtual environment and install (at least) Django (pip install django).
2. Clone the NetBox GitHub repository to your local machine.
3. Add the NetBox repo as a content root in PyCharm (Settings -> Project -> Project Structure) so that PyCharm recognizes NetBox’s internal modules.

Hope this helps!
