```julia
using Board
```
Or are you talking about importing a python package in julia?
```julia
using PyCall
board = pyimport("board")
```

I have tried using Board
but I get the following error
julia\> Pkg.add(“Board”)
Updating registry at `C:\Users\NEW\.julia\registries\General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

It is
```julia
include("board.jl")
```
In python import load a file, but in Julia using read a package, not a file, and a package has a specific structure.

It is not fully clear to me, what you are trying to do. So is `board.jl` some file you created on your computer? Or is it some repo on github? Or is it a python package?

The PyCall docs:
> By default on Mac and Windows systems, `Pkg.add("PyCall")` or `Pkg.build("PyCall")` will use the [Conda.jl](https://github.com/Luthaf/Conda.jl) package
Implying not used on Linux (is that outdated, and used there too?). At least on Linux, where you have Python 3 preinstalled, I could do (and I don’t find that package in Anaconda), and note the 3 in pip3, therefore may be important:
```julia
shell> pip3 install board
```
but then had to build PyCall correctly:
```julia
julia> ENV["PYTHON"] = "python3" # will not be enough on Windows, see docs
julia> using Pkg; Pkg.build("PyCall")
```
exit Julia and start again:
```julia
julia> using PyCall
julia> board = pyimport("board")
julia> b[0, 0] = "X" # works, but warning:
┌ Warning: `setindex!(o::PyObject, v, i1::Integer, i2::Integer)` is deprecated, use `set!(o, (i1 - 1, i2 - 1), v)` instead.
│ caller = top-level scope at REPL[12]:1
└ @ Core REPL[12]:1
"X"
```
You can e.g. do as in Python (for strings and this package, index from the end of the board):
```julia
julia> set!(b, (-1, 0), "X")
"X"
julia> get(b, (-1, 0))
"X"
```
Note, in general such negative indexing or starting from 0 in not done in Julia. I believe the deprecation above (can you disable the warning? I think it’s only in the REPL, not your working program) is there to allow the usual indexing as done in Julia, in a future PyCall version, for Python objects, shifting for you by one (and I guess loosing out on the negative, Julia uses “end” for that, or end-n).
