Bs4 error possible from wrong pip installation location, i kind solved but not in the pythonic way

Every time when i try to import the bs4 module i get this error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
When i try to install the bs4 module i get this message on the console:
C:\Users\gabri>pip install bs4
Requirement already satisfied: bs4 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (0.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (from bs4) (4.9.3)
Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (from beautifulsoup4->bs4) (2.2.1)
When i try to import the requests module that's working i get this message:
C:\Users\gabri>pip install bs4
Requirement already satisfied: bs4 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (0.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (from bs4) (4.9.3)
Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2 in c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (from beautifulsoup4->bs4) (2.2.1)
My python version is:
Python 3.9.5
My pip version is:
pip 21.1.2 from c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)
I used to have anaconda installed and then i installed python again. I read in some post that maybe the problem was happening because of two versions of python installed than i uninstall anaconda and jupyter. However nothing change. Some people said to me that my pip was install in another python besides the one i am trying to run, but i dont know how to change that. The code i'm trying to run in this
import requests as r
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
try:
result = r.get('https://www.google.com.br/search?q=Python')
except Exception as err:
print("Something went wrong: ",err)
else:
response = result.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(response,'html.parser')
print(soup.title)
print(soup.title.string)
And the error is this:
>>> %Run teste.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\gabri\teste.py", line 2, in <module>
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
I think that my pip is install in this path:
pip 21.1.2 from c:\users\gabri\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)
and my python is install in this path:
C:\Users\gabri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python39.zip
C:\Users\gabri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\DLLs
C:\Users\gabri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib
C:\Users\gabri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\gabri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages
Thats a picture of my paths on windows
enter image description here
I try put the file with the code that i'm trying to run inside the path of bs4 and it worked. But i would like to know if there is an easy method besides that

So with the helping of #He3lixx i found the answer to the question. My IDE, Thonny was using the wrong sys path to import the bs4 module. The module that pip install bs4 was in the python installation folders. So i change the paths imports in the IDE settings. To figure out what paths the IDE was using and compare to the path the bs4 was installed i use this code in the IDE shell:
import sys
for sys in sys.path:
print (sys)

ImportError: No module named bs4 - despite bs4 and BeautifulSoup being installed

I downloaded Python 3.7 and am running a script with "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup" and am receiving the following error on execution;
"File "myscript.py", line 3, in
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup ImportError: No module named bs4"
When I type "pip3 install bs4" or "pip3 install BeautifulSoup4" in the terminal I get the following;
"Requirement already satisfied: bs4 in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(0.0.1) Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(from bs4) (4.6.3)"
Executing "import bs4" and "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup" in IDLE don't error out.
Any idea about what's going on?

Just pip install bs4.
Probably, you are maintaining different versions of Python.

check if you have more than one version of python, if so add the path of python 3.7 in the system setting and try removing the older python if possible
and then pip install BeautifulSoup

I had a similar problem with importing bs4. There is a similar question with many answers. I tried many things and nothing worked but when I installed poetry [https://python-poetry.org/ ]
$ poetry add pendulum
It sorted dependencies for me so I was able to import bs4.

ImportError: no module named BeautifulSoup or BeautifulSoup4 - Python

On MacOS, I installed homebrew, then installed pip.
Trying to use a Python scraper that uses "BeautifulSoup" package.
Ran: pip install -r requirements.txt
requirements.txt includes:
BeautifulSoup
ipython
BeautifulSoup gives an error, after googling I realized that there is a new version. so I ran:
pip install beautifulsoup4
seems to have installed correctly. Then I ran the scraping script and I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scrape.py", line 3, in <module>
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
I tried changing BeautifulSoup to BeautifulSoup4 in the script, but it is the same error.
Anything else I can try?
This is the script I am trying to use: https://github.com/jojurajan/wp-content-scraper

This is essentially because beautifulsoup4 has a different interface to
its previous versions.
The old version exposes a module named BeautifulSoup.
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
The new way to import the module in Python would be.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
However, it seems that you are using a scraper written by someone else relying on the old BeautifulSoup. To solve this you have to install the old version.
Maybe you can share the complete requirements.txt and we will see what is the version it's using.

The code in question was created by me. The scraper uses Python 2.7 and older version of BeautifulSoup. It was a mistake on my part to not mention the Python version and BeautifulSoup version in requirements.txt. Newbie mistakes while releasing code into the wild. :)
I have updated the README to specify about the supported Python version.

Beautiful Soup not working in Pycharm

I am trying to import beautiful soup in my script, but get a module not found error.
Error Message
But the problem is that when i try to install it, i get the message below:
Ajays-MacBook-Pro:/ aj$ pip install bs4
Requirement already satisfied: bs4 in /anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in /anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from bs4)
What am I doing wrong here?
Note: I tried importing bs4 in Jupyter notebook and it works without any issues.

You use different version of Python in the PyCharm, you should add the Python in the /anaconda folder in the PyCharm settings.

You just need to install BeautifulSoup4 from the terminal in pycharm.
Then when you try to import it in your code you need to change this statement
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
to this
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
That error will be solved.

Where is BeautifulSoup4 hiding?

I did sudo pip install BeautifulSoup4 and got an awfully optimistic response:
Downloading/unpacking beautifulsoup4
Running setup.py egg_info for package beautifulsoup4
Installing collected packages: beautifulsoup4
Running setup.py install for beautifulsoup4
Successfully installed beautifulsoup4
Cleaning up..
but when I try to use import BeautifulSoup4 or from BeautifulSoup4 import BeautifulSoup4 in a script, python says there's no module by that name.
> import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
Update: pip tells me beautifulsoup4 in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages but I'm running 2.7.2+ (and print sys.path sees 2.7 paths) ... so now I need to figure out why pip is putting things in the wrong place.

Try import bs4. It's unfortunate there's no correspondence between PyPI package name and import name. After that the class names are the same as before eg. soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(doc) will work.
If that still doesn't work, try pip install again and note the path to the package install. Then in your python console run import sys and print sys.path to make sure that the path is there.
You might need to explicitly specify pip-2.7 or switch to easy_install (or easy_install-2.7)

Try this:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I had this issue while using VS Code and the Pylance extension. I was able to resolve it by finding the location of my python packages (in my case it was "c:\python39\lib\site-packages"), and adding that to the external resolution paths in Pylance's settings. Pylance was then able to locate the import. I used below code segment to import BeautifulSoup from bs4.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

After trying the easy_install and pip if things dont work then download the tz package from the package website untar it in a folder. Now open cmd window and go to the directory where you unzip the tz and run the command 'python setup.py install' IT should work
