The crewai work perfect without adding yfiance tools. When I add folling command in crew.py:

from financial_analyst.tools.yf_fundamental_analysis import yf_fundamental_analysis

and my program lines in tools: yf_fundamental_analysis.py is:

import yfinance as yf
from crewai_tools import tool
@tool
def yf_fundamental_analysis(ticker: str):
…

Running crewai run gives:

File “\home.ansatt.ntnu.no\perbso\python\crewai\financial_analyst\src\financial_analyst\tools\yf_fundamental_analysis.py”, line 1, in
import yfinance as yf
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘yfinance’
An error occurred while running the crew: Command ‘[‘uv’, ‘run’, ‘run_crew’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

yfinance is installed in the environment. pip freeze confirms it!

Why does not import yfinance work?

Thank you.

Did you find a solution? I’m facing a similar issue.

The environment is set up correctly, and the required libraries are installed via pip. I can confirm this by running pip list | findstr gradio_client, which shows the library is present. However, when I try to run the crew using crewai run, I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gradio_client'
An error occurred while running the crew: Command '['uv', 'run', 'run_crew']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

To debug, I created a simple “echo” tool with no external dependencies, and it worked fine. But as soon as I included the external library (from gradio_client import Client) in my custom tool, the issue appeared.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Reinstalled the gradio_client library (using --force-reinstall).
  2. Created a fresh virtual environment and reinstalled everything.
  3. Confirmed that the __init__.py file is correctly placed under project\src\gemini\tools.
  4. Verified that a standalone Python script using gradio_client works perfectly when run with python gradio_script.py.

I’m running this on Windows 11 Pro with Python 3.10.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

I found the solution:

You have to install for example “yfinance” plus all needed prgrams with the command:

uv add yfinance

in the directory where the file “uv.lock” is defined for your application.

This will add the necessary modules!
