Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'prompt' from 'qprompt' ↓

cause qprompt does not export prompt directly; it's a submodule.

fix

Use 'from qprompt import prompt' (note lowercase p).

error AttributeError: module 'qprompt' has no attribute 'menu' ↓

cause Trying to access submodule via dot notation without importing.

fix

Use 'from qprompt import menu' or 'from qprompt.menu import Menu'.

Warnings

gotcha The library is in maintenance mode; last release 2021-11-19. No known breaking changes in recent versions. ↓

fix Consider using a more modern alternative like questionary or click.

gotcha prompt() strips trailing newline from input; be aware when handling empty input. ↓

fix Use prompt() and handle empty string explicitly.

deprecated Old submodule imports like from qprompt.menu import Menu may break; all classes are re-exported at package level since 0.16.0. ↓

fix Use 'from qprompt import Menu' instead.
