Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'shared' ↓

cause Library not installed or installed in a different environment.

fix

Run: pip install shared

error AttributeError: module 'shared' has no attribute 'Shared' ↓

cause Wrong import path; some users try 'import shared' directly.

fix

Use: from shared import Shared

error yaml.YAMLError: could not determine a constructor for the tag 'tag:yaml.org,2002:...' ↓

cause Trying to load a YAML file without PyYAML installed.

fix

Install PyYAML: pip install pyyaml

Warnings

deprecated The library is in pre-release (0.0.x) and API may change significantly between versions. Pin your dependency to avoid breakage. ↓

fix Pin version: shared==0.0.32

gotcha Shared silently overwrites existing files without warning. Ensure you have backups or use a different directory. ↓

fix Check file existence manually before calling save() or use a unique filename.

gotcha Default serialization uses JSON. For YAML support, you must install PyYAML separately; otherwise, save will raise an error if the extension is .yaml. ↓

fix Install PyYAML: pip install pyyaml, then use .yaml extension.
