Error: module 'editor' has no attribute 'get_path'

Pythonista 3 300007

What does the output of import editor; editor.__file__ say? You might have a file named editor.py in your Script Library, which is being imported instead of the standard editor.py.

I can't reproduce that error here. Do you perhaps have a "editor.py" file of your own somewhere that might shadow the built-in module?

I find the reason

Seems as though you have installed a file named editor.py onto your path.... don't do that, it prevents the real editor from being imported.
