Hello! I have just started exploring Meltano and am running into an issue with the custom tap
tap-redshift
. I am able to install it successfully from https://github.com/datadotworld/tap-redshift, however the executable throws an error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytz'
when I try and invoke it. Now, I can get around this by manually pip installing
pytz
in the
tap-redshift
virtual environment that is created in my Meltano project, however I am not sure if this is the right way to go about fixing this, particularly because the application then throws a separate error related to the
start_date
required config key when I try and run an elt job. I can’t seem to find any issue related to this anywhere - has anyone experienced it before?
Actually, it looks like there is a pull request open to fix the very issue that is thrown if I manually install `pytz`: https://github.com/datadotworld/tap-redshift/pull/32

The
singer-io
fork looks a bit more active. Might want to use that instead. https://github.com/singer-io/tap-redshift

I will try it out! Thank you!
I still had to manually install
pytz
in the virtual env for the tap, but this time the job ran successfully and did not throw an error. Thanks!
