Hello everyone, I have been working on jupyter notebook on my Windows local machine. I wanted to write a code for Object Detection, for which I have to import helper module. When I am trying to run it, the helper module in turn requests import of grp module which shuts down the code and gives error: No module named ‘grp’ Please help, spent 2 days searching without much success. Only thing I know is it would be easier on Linux, but I want solution for Windows. ---

Hello, I need to use: from helper import render\_results\_in\_image but don’t know which package to install with pip. What package did you install? ---

I am also getting error, maybe you can try installing module named grp if you are using Linux ---

I have same problem here. I wish to use the compute\_module\_sizes function and it is not recognized. I get this error message: ImportError: cannot import name ‘compute\_module\_sizes’ from ‘helper’ (/anaconda/envs/…/lib/python3.10/site-packages/helper/ **init**.py) Can someone help in on this? I already tried to uninstall and install the package helper. ---

If you still have the problem, try to run in the Deeplearning.ai notebook: ```auto !cat: helper.py ``` And then copy that code in your notebook found the solution here: > **[How can I access the helper module in L8\_object\_detection](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/how-can-i-access-the-helper-module-in-l8-object-detection/588103/2)** > > Add a new cell and type this
