Jupyter packages

I am trying to import certain packages as I am working with Jupyter notebook files, and most of the packages seem to be missing, even though I have installed them. For example, when I do the command: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup or import requests
I get the error saying ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4' for the first one and a similar one for importing requests as well. I have tried pip install requests and pip install bs4, but same issue persists. I have installed them on:
"(base) aminnazemzadeh#amins-MacBook-Pro ~ % " which seems to be my home directory, and I also have anaconda3 installed alongside python3. What is the issue that I cannot import these modules.
I am using visual studio if it makes any difference
Once I add :
!pip install requests
!pip install bs4
I get:
/Users/aminnazemzadeh/.zshenv:.:1: no such file or directory: /Users/aminnazemzadeh/.cargo/env

Thanks

probably you're installing the packages on an environment other than the one vs code is using. you can try installing the packages directly from your jupyter notebook by running the following code in a notebook cell. the current best practice to be running installs in the notebook is using the magic commands %pip or %conda:
%pip install requests beautifulsoup4
# or
%conda install requests beautifulsoup4
this should install the packages in the same environment that the notebook is running on.
note that you may need to restart the kernel to use the affected packages.

ps: thanks #wayne for the comments regarding the current best practices for installing on the current running environment.

If you're using conda, you should install via conda whenever possible. When you install via pip, conda loses some of its ability to manage dependency versions.
Try creating a new conda environment, install the needed packages via conda, then set the kernel to your new environment in vscode. Dedicate conda environments to specific projects. It is okay to have a default/generic environment for playing around but not for any significant work as you can easily create errors in your other work if a dependency changes to an incompatible version.
Conda cheet sheet for reference if you need it: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/4.6.0/_downloads/52a95608c49671267e40c689e0bc00ca/conda-cheatsheet.pdf
You will need the Jupyter extension in vscode if you do not already have it installed.
You will also need to install the corresponding jupyter package in your conda environment.

FlightRadarAPI not found as a module

I am trying to use the FlightRadar24 API as described in this link:
https://pypi.org/project/FlightRadarAPI/#description
I have followed the steps as outlined, however, when trying to run the following simple script, I get an error saying "No Module named 'FlightRadar24':
from FlightRadar.api import FlightRadar24API
fr_api = FlightRadar24API()
However, I re-checked whether the module has been installed, which is true. I installed the module using pip3.
Anyone know how to solve?
When I check if the module has been installed, I get the following:
Requirement already satisfied: flightradar24 in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (0.3.1)
Does it have to do with the fact that it is installed in python3.9? How would I get it installed to python 3.7 specifically using pip?

keep getting python ModuleNotFoundError: No module named

I am working on a raspberry pi python project and every time I import a package I get the same error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ''. for example I am trying to add the ambient_api package
I followed the steps in their set up:
pip install ambient_api
Added the imports at the top of my file:
from ambient_api.ambientapi import AmbientAPI
api = AmbientAPI()
but I am getting the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ambient_api'
This is happening with all the imports I am trying to add and I cant figure out what I am missing.
when I was looking on google I came across __init__.py might be a solution but I am not sure how this works?
edit:
here is what was output when I installed:
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already satisfied: ambient_api in /home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.5.2)
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from ambient_api) (2.21.0)
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from ambient_api) (1.24.1)
version in my terminal:
pi#raspberrypi:~/Raspberry-Pi-Greenhouse $ python --version
Python 2.7.16
but it looks like the version in the shell in the ide when I run the program is saying:
Python 3.7.3 (/usr/bin/python3)

As explained by #JaFizz in Pytorch is installed but do not working ubuntu 18.04 it solved by giving an alias and installing correctly to desired python version (there were two pythons installed on the same machine)
First it was necessary to specify the location of the python, example:
alias python=/usr/local/bin/python3.6
Then install it:
python pip install <package name>

No module named googleapiclient.discovery

I have been looking to implement the example Python scripts I have found online to allow me to interact with the YouTube API as per the GitHub link found here
The problem I am having is with the import statement at the start:
import argparse
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googleapiclient.errors import HttpError
The online documentation requires the following command to install the googleapiclient library:
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
However, once installed I am still receiving an error that googleapiclient.discovery cannot be found. I have tried reinstalling via pip, with the following command line output generated, suggesting all is well:
Requirement already up-to-date: google-api-python-client in g:\python27\lib\site-packages (1.7.4)
Requirement not upgraded as not directly required: httplib2<1dev,>=0.9.2 in g:\python27\lib\site-packages (from google-api-python-client) (0.9.2)

Requirement not upgraded as not directly required: pyasn1>=0.1.3 in g:\python27\lib\site-packages (from rsa>=3.1.4->google-auth>=1.4.1->google-api-python-client) (0.1.9)
pyasn1-modules 0.2.2 has requirement pyasn1<0.5.0,>=0.4.1, but you'll have pyasn1 0.1.9 which is incompatible.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

In case you are running Python3 (python --version), perhaps you should run this instead:
pip3 install google-api-python-client
Another quick way to counter this problem could be to install the package in the same folder as your code:
pip install google-api-python-client -t ./
That's not ideal but it will definitely work.
Or if you prefer to move external libraries to a lib/ folder:
pip install google-api-python-client -t ./lib
in that last case you will also need this at the beginning of your Python code:
import os
import sys
file_path = os.path.dirname(__file__)
module_path = os.path.join(file_path, "lib")
sys.path.append(module_path)
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

This solution is only applicable to those using "Visual studio" for building flask apps.(others can try though)
The only thing you need to check is "from where am I importing all my libraries" follow the process below while creating new env.
Python environments >(Right click) > Add new env > check the "View in python environments window".

I faced similar issue while I was trying to write code involving 'YouTube API' in VS Code. On the suggestion by many folks from online coding forums I ran
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
but it didn't help.
Taking following steps resolved the issue for me:
In VSCode go to 'Settings' (Ctrl + , on Windows), inside 'Search settings' enter venv and under the heading for 'Python: Venv Path' enter the path for your virtual environment as seen in the following screenshot:
settings for Python: Venv Path in VS Code
And, then click on the Python interpreter in VS Code as seen below: (the selected interpreter reflects at the bottom left corner of the VS Code editor)

Getting Started with Python-Twitch 1.2

I've been programming with Python for a few months now but I'm having trouble figuring out the Python-Twitch library for the Twitch API. I've installed version 1.2 and it gives instructions here: http://ingwinlu.github.io/python-twitch/quickstart.html#dependencies
However, I'm completely inexperienced with doing this type of thing. Even just using their example of
from twitch.api import v3
returns a "no module named twitch" error..
Where would I get started with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry for my lack of knowledge.

If calling from twitch.api import v3 returns the following error:
no module named twitch
Then you do not have the python-twitch module properly installed.
First make sure you have an up to date version of Python, such as 3.5.1 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
Then install it (if not already installed) using the recommended options including PIP
Then go to the Python\Scripts directory, such as:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts>
Then run the following:
pip install python-twitch
Now you should see something like this:
Collecting python-twitch
Downloading python-twitch-1.2.0.tar.gz
Collecting six>=1.9.0 (from python-twitch)
Downloading six-1.10.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: six, python-twitch
Running setup.py install for python-twitch
Successfully installed python-twitch-1.2.0 six-1.10.0\
Now re-run your test python file:
from twitch.api import v3
