Unable to use BeautifulSoup, ModuleNotFoundError but "Requirement already satisfied" - python

I've installed beautifulsoup4 using pip and pip3. When I run my Python shell, I get:
import bs4
print(bs4)
<module 'bs4' from '/Users/myUserName/Desktop/Dev/virtual_env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bs4/init.py'>
But when I try the same thing in IDE (Sublime), I get:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
I'm stumped, I downloaded pandas right after and it worked just fine in my IDE. Any tips to fix this problem? Or do I just try another web scraping tool?

This shows that you are in a different interpreter. What you can do is to append the path of beautifulsoup4 into your working environment before importing.
import sys
sys.path.append("/Users/jimmyfl0/Desktop/Dev/mine/the_venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages")
import bs4

BeautifulSoup Module installed but can't be found

I installed beautifulsoup4 on my mac but when I tried to import the module in spyder, it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'beautifulsoup'
I have tried importing it with:
import beautifulsoup4
import beautifulsoup
from bs4 import beautifulsoup
import bs4
etc...
I have also tried reinstalling the module in terminal and it says that it is already installed.
I have also checked that it was installed in python 3.9 which is the same version Spyder says it is using on my computer.
I am so confused please help! Where is this module
Update: I think I need a separate environment so I tried to download miniconda but when I try to install it it says that it can't install because I already have it but when I run any conda command in terminal it says command not found so I don't know how to get miniconda
You should check your code. The tutorials I see (there are many online) all import beautifulsoup this way (casing matters - the B and the S are upper case!):
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

VsCode doesn't recognize modules (I'm using python 3.10)

As the title says, apparently VsCode doesn't recognize several modules that I already installed on my MacBook. For example,
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from requests import request
from tkinter import *
And the error message says,
No module named 'bs4'
File "/Users/my_name/Desktop/VsCode Projects/weather_detecter/main.py", line 7, in
<module>
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Also, it says the same thing on requests, but not on tkinter. I tried sudo pip, -m, pip3 on both terminal.app and VsCode terminal, but the outcome is still the same. How can I fix this?
You might need to select the correct python interpreter version first and then try importing the modules.
OR, open terminal in VS Code and try reinstalling the modules with the command python3 -m pip install <module_name>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4' even though I have installed BeautifulSoup4 properly with pip3 (Windows)

Python version: 3.9.5
pip version: 21.1.1
BeautifulSoup4 version: 4.9.3
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
with open('home.html', 'r') as html_file:
content = html_file.read()
print(content)
I have been trying to use the BeautifulSoup4 library but it just won't work. In vscode, it shows the indication that bs4 is there when I do CTRL+click on bs4 written in Code. But it still gives ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
I have installed it properly with pip3 as shown in the below screenshot
The version of python I am using in VS Code is shown in below Image
Just a side note. I also used some other packages such as Camelcase and that one worked fine. Idk why this one is not working properly. I couldn't find any proper related solution for it in the existing solutions for it.
I had python3 installed 2 times.. 1 from the Windows store and the other from python exe file. python3 command referred to windows installed python3 and python referred to exe file installed python3. BeautifulSOup installed via pip3 was linked to the python command instead of python3 so that was the reason it wasn't working.
after checking for paths of python and python3 everything got clarified and the problem solved thanks to the hint given by #Y.R in the comments section of the main post.

VS code BeautifulSoup4 issue: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

I got error when ran a flask app. This project includes scraping so I installed BeatifulSoup4 in python virtual env. When I ran flask, I got error.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
But I installed BeautifulSoup4 correctly. pip3 install beautifulsoup4
There is a weird thing.
When I wrote at terminal, it imported bs4 successfully.
You have to install bs4 package for running beautifulsoup4. If you install only beautifulsoup4, then it won't work as you are using the following import:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Also, it won't work because BeautifulSoup is the sub-package of bs4.

Extract table from HTML using pandas

I am working with python 2.7 on Windows 10 and I am using the Spyder IDE. I'm trying to extract a table from the following link:
http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/points/sort/points/year/2015/seasontype/2
using pandas. My code reads:
import pandas as pd
import html5lib
url = 'http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/points/sort/points/year/2015/seasontype/2'
table = pd.read_html(url)
but I get the error message that the html5lib module is not installed. I have installed it using pip, but even after restarting Spyder, I still get the message
ImportError: No module named html5lib
I have looked everywhere and no solution seems to work for me: unistalling and installing html5lib, updating pip, updating anaconda3, etc. Can anyone help me?
EDIT
Through the Command Window in Spyder I used
easy_install html5lib
and now, running pip list, html5lib (1.0b10) appears, but I still get the same message: ImportError: No module named html5lib.
