I am using a windows system and I have no idea why after I use the command "pip3 install pyautogui" it installs successfully however when I click the play button in VS code it gives me an error in the terminal -
ERROR
import pyautogui
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyautogui'
I am a pure beginner to Python so I have no idea what might be causing this issue. My code is below:
CODE
import pyautogui
screenWidth, screenHeight = pyautogui.size()
print(screenWidth)
print(screenHeight)
Any idea what I can do to solve this? I have checked similar questions but the answers were targeted more towards Linux users.
sometimes pip can have problems with certain libraries.
to get around this, you should download the .whl or tar.gz file and install it directly from there.
this is the .tar.gz file for pyautogui: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f0/76/7a0ec1013bc3559b7438f6773cba05ffaec600b8989be2d621a144e39b50/PyAutoGUI-0.9.53.tar.gz
download it and put it in your project directory.
then, just pip install {THE FILE NAME}.
for me that fixed it.
so I'm trying to install the keyboard module on a raspberry pi, but I can't use pip. Is there a way I can install it in a way that works? So far I have tried installing the extracted zip file from the pypi website, but nothing, not even the example code, works. I have attached a picture of what error I am getting when running the example code that comes in the folder. Thanks anyone for your help. Error message:

Ive looked at many different threads and haven't found a solution. Maybe I haven't been installing things properly from the start either. I want to import the module pyautogui into my project but it is saying it can't find it. I did a pip install in terminal and in the pycharmterminal as well. I have found the file directory and verified that it is available. But yet I am still not able to access it in my project. On some of the threads I read something about init.py, do I need to put that in my project. If so is there code in that py file or do I just create a python file named init.py
On Mac OS and some Linux distros, you may need to type pip3 install package-name.
I have a Python/Selenium project where I need to run code from a different file than the main one with from ABC import XYZ, but in the same driver (without opening a new window). From what I found, it seems that the idea is to make a singleton file, which I've done using the code from their website.
Initially, I've been getting "lib not found", which was fixed with pip install robot, but now I'm running into "No module named 'robot.api'" and I can't seem to find the issue. Tried pip install robotframework-databaselibrary but that wasn't it.
What am I missing here? FYI, my singleton.py is in the same folder as the other two .py files and my first line "from robot.api import logger" is greyed out in PyCharm.
You have installed the wrong package - robot looks like a Django library, while you need robotframework:
pip install robotframework
But before installing the correct one, remove the robot package - you'll have two with the same name, and the "wrong" probably resolves first.
Okay, so, I'm actually a beginner in programming Python, and I only found out yesterday how you were supposed to encode pip install ModuleName in the Python command line and not in the interactive shell. I'm trying to download a lot of modules, such as the Send2Trash module, Pyperclip, Requests, Beautiful Soup, and Selenium.
Before I checked the forums about installing modules, I found out how we needed to have the pip tool. I'm a Windows user, but for some reason, I didn't have the 'Scripts' folder installed when I downloaded Python. I didn't know we needed it, so I used raw scripts from GitHub, setup.py, and copy pasted the script into the File Editor in Python, ran it in the interactive shell, and tried to import the module I needed. It worked for the Pyperclip and the Requests module; no errors popped up after I imported them using import pyperclip or import requests, but when I tried the same procedure for the rest of the modules I needed, there were some errors.
Also, when I tried to download the modules on pypi.python.org, I tried to open it using the interactive shell, but then something pops up, 'The file's encoding is invalid for Python3.x...', and when I click 'OK', it's going to say 'Failed to Decode', and close everything.
So, after reading forum after forum, I found out how to download pip, and was also able to download setuptools and wheel. I'm not sure if it's really already downloaded, but I was able to get the 'Scripts' folder that wasn't there before, so I guess so. I also already went into my PATH using the edit environment for your account thing, and I edited the Path variable so its value would lead to my 'Scripts' folder. Please do tell me if I did the right thing here.
So, following the advice of the forums, I tried to install the modules I needed by typing pip install ModuleName in the Python command line instead of the interactive shell, but it still gave me a Syntax Error. I also tried it in Command Prompt, typing the same code pip install ModuleName, but when I clicked Enter, nothing happens; no errors or anything. It seemed like my install was accepted, but when I tried importing the module in the interactive shell, it still gave an Import Error.
Please tell me what I did wrong throughout my process, and how to properly install the modules I need. I would include pictures into this, but it seems I can only add two before my reputation becomes 10, and I'm pretty new here, so... If there's anything I need to elaborate on about my problem, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll try my best.
You say you use windows so you need to understand pip.
pip is a program that installs python modules. You can even use easy_install instead of pip.
some pip commands
pip list -- lists out already installed modules.
pip search <module name> -- searches new modules.
pip -h -- more pip commands you want.
pip installs modules from CMD prompt not from python shell.
Even after installing modules some modules doesn't run as import module
they need to be imported as from module import function.
refer the pip help command and install modules.
DO NOT SAVE SCRIPT FILES IN PYTHON ROOT FOLDER YOU MAY FACE SOME PROBLEMS
Happy Programming!!!
After a whole lot of searching and trying out, I found the solution to my problem. For future Python users who encounter the same thing: always install your modules in the root folder.
In my case, my Command Prompt was automatically inside the C:\Users folder, which caused some problems because I couldn't download my module in there. Once I typed in cd C:\Python34, which was my root folder, I could successfully download the modules I needed using pip install ModuleName.
