I have installed pytesseract successfully but still getting this error in vscode.
I tried installing tesseract in my venv in vscode. and it was successfully installed. but still , I'm getting this error.
I used a simple code i.e.,
from PIL import Image
import pytesseract as pt
def tesseract():
path_to_tesseract = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"
image_path="test.jpg"
pt.tesseract_cmd = path_to_tesseract
text = pt.image_to_string(Image.open(image_path))
print(text)
tesseract()
Import errors occur either due to the package not being installed or being installed in a different path.
Since you said you installed pytesseract, I’m guessing it’s the latter. Try running your script in verbose mode with the -v flag to see the path in which Python looks for your packages.
Then you can manually check if pytesseract is installed inside there or somewhere else.
While in your venv, can you try running
pip3 freeze > installed-modules.txt
and share the output here? That should show us what modules are installed in your venv and we can continue from there. Also, do you have the Python Environment Manager extension installed in VS Code?
So sorry but last initial troubleshooting step, in the bottom right corner of VS code, when you have your python file open, does it state that it's using the venv? This can be really telling if its just not utilizing your venv

The most common way this ImportError can occur is if pip install refers to a different Python version than VS Code is using, or the virtual environment is not activated in VS Code, or it was not activated when pytesseract was installed.
You can check that pip matches the Python version VS Code is using by running:
pip -V
at the command line, and remember it's output. Then, in VS Code run the following Python script and make sure they match. If they match, then there shouldn't be an issue. If they don't match, some combinations of the virtual environment and the Python Version are not setup correctly.
import sys, subprocess
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "-V"])
If this is the issue, it can be solved by installed pytesseract by running the following Python script in VS Code.
import sys, subprocess
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "pytesseract"])
import pytesseract
To explain the command, subprocess.check_call executes a call on the command line, as if you had typed it at the terminal. The difference is uses the full path to the Python Interpreter, from sys.executable (including the virtual environment) to make sure it is setup right.
If this completes without an ImportError, then pytesseract should be working now.

I have activated my venv in the terminal, I have insured that Pillow is installed and checked that I have the right Python interpreter selected in VSCode I am still getting these errors.

Obviously you're using Code Runner to execute the script, if you're using the Python extension the command would be something like this:
Selecting an interpreter is a feature of Python extensions, so what interpreter you choose will not affect Code Runner.
Please use the official extension Python to run the script and you will get correct results.
PS: You can use the following code to verify the interpreter used by Code Runner
import sys
print(sys.executable)
As shown in the picture above, I selected the python3.11, but Code Runner still uses the python3.10 interpreter.
Python extension has no problem.
If you still get the error, make sure you are using the correct interpreter (the one with Pillow installed). Or use the above code to output the full path of the interpreter, and then use the python command of the full path to install the Pillow package for the current interpreter.
I am a very beginner for vscode and python and computer stuff in general.
I am having trouble importing pandas into vs code, and none of the previous posts was helpful for me since I literally can't understand it and can't follow their steps.
I am gonna show you what I have done so far.
First, I open the vscode and open terminal (powershell)
Second, I type pip3 install pandas and it successfully install pandas
For example, I ran that command again, it gave me "Requirement already satisfied"
enter image description here
Third, as it seemed pandas is installed correctly, I type py to open python in the terminal and type import pandas as pd
But, it gave me :
import pandas as pd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'
enter image description here
I really don't know why it is happening and what to do to fix this.
I will appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks,
Make sure you are using the same interpreter as the one you installed the pandas library with.
Run the following code to print out the python interpreter you are currently using
import sys
print(sys.executable)
Copy the full path of the interpreter and install the pandas library for it using the command
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe -m pip install pandas
Modify the above path to the path you just got
It can also be done in the interactive window of the terminal
try pip install pandas instead of pip3
use cmd or git bush instead of powershell
use virtual environments in the current working directory:
open vscode on new folder
Terminal > New Terminal: (make shure it's cmd not Powershell)
pip install pipenv (on cmd)
pipenv install pandas
close vs code, open it again on the same folder
Terminal > New Terminal (cmd)
pipenv shell
py
I've recently swapped drives on my notebook and decided on a completely fresh install. When setting up VSCode for a new python project, I installed the latest version from python's website, added the appropriate environment variable to the path, removed the length cap for the pathname too, and all that.
python environment variable added to Path
But still, every time I import NumPy or any other module for that matter, it throws an error saying "unable to import [module]".
vscode error
I don't know what else to do, VSCode even recognizes the interpreter (see image 3).
python interpreter selected in vscode
Tried setting up a venv aswell, end up getting the same error.
This is how I normally set up a project and it always works.
(open directory in VSCode)
Within the VSCode Terminal
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
At this time vscode should automatically detect that there is a new virtualenv and ask you to use it.
If it doesn't you can use the CMD+Shift+P (CTRL+Shift+P) search for "Select Python Interpreter" and specify the path.
Did you install Numpy in the virtual environment (if you are using one)?
Try to list your installed packages in vscode terminal
python -m pip list
If numpy does not appear, install numpy with:
python -m pip install numpy
Does it work when you run the code? Or is this just a pylint problem?
I have installed opencv for example, and when importing in sublimetext or in a terminal I jump "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named". If I do it from the python idle, it does not
I reproduced your error and was able to fix it as following:
This error often happens when you did not added your Python path correctly.
To check wether your python is installed an configured correctly go to your terminal and type:
python -V
and then:
pip -v
The two versions have to match.
Also simply run:
python
and check wether an interactive shell opens.
If your versions are matching and the the python command works, your python is configured correctly and you can skip the next step. If not follow the steps below, if everthing works skip this:
For Windows try this:
https://superuser.com/questions/143119/how-do-i-add-python-to-the-windows-path
For Mac OS try this:
export PATH=~/path/to/your/python/bin:$PATH
For example:
export PATH=~/anaconda2/bin:$PATH
Now the next thing...
CV2 has two prerequisites there for run:
pip install matplotlib
pip install numpy
and finally:
pip install opencv-python
Now you are ready to go an you can import opencv in your code as following:
import cv2
When you are using pyhton3 use:
python3 test.py
to run your code.
If you want to use python instead of python3 do this:
The last Python you install that registers itself in the environment is the default.
If you would like to have Python 3.x as a default version, then you will need to create environment variable 'PY_PYTHON' and set it's value to 3
I'm running 32-bit Windows XP and trying to have Matlab communicate with Cgate, a command line program. I'd like to make this happen using wexpect, which is a port of Python's module pexpect to Windows. I'm having trouble installing or importing wexpect though. I've put wexpect in the folder Lib, along with all other modules. I can import those other modules but just not wexpect. Commands I've tried include:
import wexpect
import wexpect.py
python wexpect.py install
python wexpect.py install --home=~
wexpect install
Does anyone have anymore ideas?
If you installed wexpect somewhere in the module search path (sys.path), then import wexpect is what you would use. You have to make sure you installed it in the right path, though (the usual location is Lib\site-packages inside the Python installation.) If the package wexpect.py was in came with a setup.py file, you could install it with
\path\to\python setup.py install
from a DOS prompt. Depending on what else you did you may need to restart the Python interpreter or IDE that you're using for it to pick it up. You should also pay attention to the errors you get when you try import wexpect, as it may have dependencies you need to install.
Perhaps you haven't installed wexpect correctly.
In your command prompt (not python, but the DOS-like command shell), go to the directory where you downloaded wexpect. Make sure it's unzipped and you can see the setup.py file when you use the dir command.
Then enter the command (again, in the cmd shell, not the python terminal):
python setup.py install.
I have created a Github repo and PyPI project for wexpect. So now wexpect can be installed with:
pip install wexpect
