I am trying to create a web script, but when I run it it gives me this error:
import bs4 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
When I go to my project interpreter, bs4 and beautifulsoup4 are installed. Also, when I run the command pip install beautifulsoup4, it says that:
Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2; python_version >= "3.0" in ./venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from beautifulsoup4) (2.1)
My Python version is 3.8.0.
Try to run this command in the same interpreter as your python script.
pip install beautifulsoup4
You may have more than one interpreter setup on your machine, and when you type the command it does not install to the interpreter/virtual environment where your python script is running.
Solution
Follow the following steps in order, if applicable to your situation:
If you are using an IDE, such as Pycharm or VSCode, you will have an option to choose your virtual environment. Keep note of the name of the environment.
Then, activate your virtual environment, and install the package using the command I specified above. This process can be done from the command line or IDE
Run your python script in that environment/interpreter
This should have liberally answered the question, but if you want to learn more about virtual environments and interpreters, then use this link.

I use PyCharm Python3.7 , is ok.
Python3.8 should be fine.
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I tried to import urllib.request wth python in vscode but kept getting the message: ImportError: No module named request. I have no problem importing just urllib, which I know is the right line for python2. I'm sure I'm using python3 as that's what I've selected in the interpreter path.
Here's the screenshot:
I've also put pip3 install urllib3 in the terminal and got this message which means python3 should have it:
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (1.26.9)
any idea what have gone wrong or it's not the problem with python version?
This is related to your multiple environments. You should specify the installation path when using pip installation package.
pip install -t flodername urllib3 #the package of the python interpreter you chosen
I'm trying to install a few packages (beautifulsoup4 and requests) for a project.
I installed these packages by running these commands in the terminal on macOS:
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
pip3 install requests
both did install successfully.
Now if I open my project in PyCharm, I can import the modules by using:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
Both packages are imported successfully and can be used in my code.
To be sure everything was installed correctly, I looked at the venv/lib/Python3.10 folder. beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.dist-info, bs4, requests and requests-2.27.1.dist-info are present.
However, when I run the CGI script (Python), I get the following error in the terminal:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
Even when I open a new terminal window and run the following commands:
python3
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
it runs fine without any errors.
The same issue happens for the requests package.
I also ran pip3 install bs4 but that also didn't fix anything.
I found what caused the issue. bs4 and requests were both installed correctly but in my CGI script, I used the wrong Python path. I had to change #!/usr/bin/python3 to the path that which python3 gave me.
I would recommend to always install packages using python3 -m pip install <name_of_the_package>. In this way you can be sure that you are using the correct pip.
To make sure that the python you a using really has the packages installed, try python3 -m pip list.
If all is good, check if the python interpreter the pycharm is using in your project is the right one.
It sounds to me that in pycharm you're using a virtual environment, but when you are using python3 at the terminal, you a using the main installation.
My code fails when it tries to import requests, despite it already being installed. I did a pip list and saw the module requested there, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it with both pip install and pip3 install, also added sudo both times. Whenever I try to install it I get the message that the requirement is already satisfied. Is there something else that I could try?
If it helps I am using VSCode on a Mac, I also have Jupyter and Spyder installed and have used them before however I’ve never used the requests module on this device.
UPDATE:
I created a virtualenv and installed requests there, when running the script in the venv I am not getting the error anymore, however I am still curious why it was being thrown on the base env, anything else I could check?
You probably have multiple installations/environments.
Before the "import requests", line put "import sys; print(sys.executable)".
This prints the python executable being used - verify that it is the same one that you can successfully import requests with .
What worked for me was deleting three folders having names starting with "request-SOMETHING" in the directory that pip3 specifies when you try to install requests again, e.g.
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
Then just reinstall with pip and it should be in your sys.executable directory.
Try this
pip install chardet2 urllib3
or
python3 -m pip install requests
There is a problem with package dependency
I am working with python flask's requests module. I have installed requests module using :
pip install requests
And verified that requests module exists when I run :
pip list
But when I run my python application , I receive import Error for requests module.
I noticed that pip is installing the module in C:\Users\xx\Documents\Projects\Python\Python3REST\lib\site-packages\ folder BUT the interpreter is looking for the module in C:\Users\xx\Documents\Projects\Python\Python3REST\lib\site-packages\flask\ folder.
I have tried running the command :
pip install --install-option="Path to install in" requests
But threw some other error.
The import error I am getting states :
ImportError: cannot import name 'requests' from 'flask'
(C:\Users\xx\Documents\Projects\Python\Python3REST\lib\site-packages\flask\__init__.py)
I am working in virtualenv in Windows 10.
I recently had the same problem installing a self made package. I installed it with pip install <package> and checked it was actually installed with pip list but running the script with import <package> returned a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named <package>.
I solved the problem creating an empty file called __init__.py in the package directory.
Check https://pythontips.com/2013/07/28/what-is-init-py/ and https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages for better understanding.
what if you add that folder to your path? using sys.path.extend?
I solved it using python3 -m pip install <package name>. In the OP's case, it should be python3 -m pip install requests.
Note that I'm using python 3.10.
I have installed the pip3 as well as requests package in my pc.Even then on running the command import requests on my shell,i am getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
I have to manually copy all the packages to my working directory to tackle this exception.
Find were your python is installed and find Scripts directory. Open cmd, go to this folder and type pip install requests.
For me it was like below:
cd C:\Users\myLocalUserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts
pip install requests
In PyCharm you should:
Go back to base configuration in "File" - "Settings" - "Python Interpreteter" (it is the path that ends with "...\python.exe")
Click on the plus and install this module by typing name in search field.
Choose this configuration and run it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F10
For listing instaled modules for Python 3:
sudo pip3 list
For installing the request module for Python 3:
sudo pip3 install requests
Make sure that requestes module should have version starts with 2
Not correct
pip3 list
Package Version
requestes 0.0.1
I installed this and installed using
python -m pip install requests
Later :
PS C:\python\Scripts> pip list
Package Version
certifi 2021.5.30
chardet 4.0.0
idna 2.10
pip 21.1.3
requests 2.25.1
urllib3 1.26.6
Activate Virtual Environment
.\env\Scripts\activate
Install the dependencies,
pip install request
Been tackling this issue for 2 hours now, this solution did it!
Find your Python installation location and, specifically, the Scripts directory. Open cmd, and run the following:
cd C:\Users\<myLocalUserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts
pip install requests
For me, I used the package manager within my IDE (Pycharm in this case) to see if 'request' was installed. Once I did that, then the error went away.
I also tried pip install, but I suspect I have multiple python on the system and pip didn't install to the correct python. This is why others are suggesting to install from a specific python installation.
In Linux or Mac, you can run 'which python' for additional clues.
