Platform error sensor.picnic - No module named 'python_picnic_api'

[Veldkornet]

I tried doing the install, both HACS and manual.

But I seem to be getting the following when I check the config:
2020-09-04 20:01:09 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio] Platform error sensor.picnic - No module named 'python_picnic_api'

Hi,

Have you already restarted home-assistant? Which version are you on?
This seems to be a problem with pip not installing the needed api client. Can you run the command "pip3 install python-picnic-api" or "pip install python-picnic-api"?

HomeAssistant won't restant because it gives the error 😣 I'm using Hassio, I'll try get in there..

Update:
Yup, installing the api with pip seems to have fixed it, at least it lets me reboot now

I wanted to try out your integration today, but unfortunately I ran into exactly the same problem. From the point of view of user-friendliness, however, it is not useful to expect that users will install manual with pip themselves, after all, Home Assistant does this for you 🤔

I think this problem was caused by a mixed use of - and _ 🤔

I've reopened this issue, if someone has any clues on how to fix this I'll be glad to hear this.

So only fix I found so far is to restart my HA instance multiple times.

I ran into this issue on hassio and resolved it by installing the integration first (I did it manually by copying over the picnic folder to the custom integrations folder). Then I restarted HA and I then added the configuration. Then a second restart.
