[Solved]-from cmd import Cmd, (not working with class MyPrompt)-eclipse

when i encounter an issue like this, i like drop myself into a debugger in the command line and start poking around.

to do this, i add import pdb; pdb.set_trace() near where the issue is happening, in this case at the top of the file. once in debug mode, i starting looking at the object that is causing the issue. i'd probably start with changing the import statement to import the full cmd module, and then i would dir said module. you can print cmd.__file__ to see where it is coming from

import cmd
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
# code stops here so you can start digging
# dir(cmd) will tell you what properties the module has
# cmd.__file__ will tell you the file path

from cmd import cmd
import pyautogui as pag #future#
import time #debugging/future#
import sys,os
clear = lambda : os.system('cls')
