I am attempting to use a small script to move my mouse slightly every minute or two to make the appearance that I am sitting at my desk (dont tell my boss please)
is anyone able to assist in why this might be happening?
from my command prompt I was able to successfully install pip install pyautogui
note, that: pip3 install autogui was not recognized
once I opened up pycharm, I ran the code, and got the below error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyautogui'
I also checked to make sure I had python 3 in command line using pip version = anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
**full code below for reference
import pyautogui
import time
import sys
from datetime import datetime
pyautogui.FAILSAFE = False
numMin = None
if ((len(sys.argv)<2) or sys.argv[1].isalpha() or int(sys.argv[1])<1):
numMin = 1
else:
numMin = int(sys.argv[1])
while(True):
x=0
while(x<numMin):
time.sleep(60)
x+=1
for i in range(0,200):
pyautogui.moveTo(0,i*4)
pyautogui.moveTo(1,1)
for i in range(0,3):
pyautogui.press("shift")
print("Movement made at {}".format(datetime.now().time()))

You cannot import pyautogui from python 3 interpreter in pycharm because it is not installed.
When you ran pip install pyautogui you installed it on your python2.7 environment.
When you tried to installed it with pip3 you ran anaconda's pip (accordint to you error).
you can check which pip is used inside the CMD with the command where pip3.
If it is not found you can try running it like this: python -m pip but make sure you are running python3!
I highly recommend installing everything in venv virtual environment to make sure nothing is missing and you don't have any dependencies issues.
Or if you are new to python, uninstall all different instances and only keep one (probably python3 in your case), or edit you PATH in Windows
Furthermore I'm pretty sure when you are running pip from your console you are using another instance of it on your computer then the one you set as interpreter on pycharm, hence you couldn't use pip3 at all.
If none of the above helped, please add more details yo your question and I'll edit the answer.
Summary: You have a few instances of python installed on your computer (at least one of python2.7 and one of anaconda), when you run python or pip from the CMD if refers to the python2.7 one.
But when you chose an interpreter for you project in Pycharm you chose a python3 instance, which is obviously doesn't contain pyautogui.
Make sure you are using the right python instance when setting it up in Pycharm and when installing packages.
I answered this question recently: Problem with Python modules import on Mac
The issue might be that you don't have pip installed.
I know most Mac's have pip and Python pre-installed, but it wouldn't hurt to try: sudo easy_install pip
If this doesn't seem to be the issue, you might be running the pip install packageName in the wrong directory.
You will need to access your scripts folder in python and run the pip install packageName command in there. Here is a resource which should help you reach that directory: https://datatofish.com/install-package-python-using-pip/
This was answered for a Mac, but switching the commands to another OS shouldn't be hard. Just make sure pip is installed and that you're installing in the right directory.

After utilizing pip to install pyautogui successfully to my Python3.10 environment I'm utilizing in Visual Studio, I'm still getting this error when trying to simply import the library.
Warning (active) reportMissingImports Import "pyautogui" could not be resolved
I know it's installed to my correct repo, as I can see PyAutoGui (0.9.53) listed under packages of my active environment from the Solution Explorer. I also have th
I've tried a good few attempts to reinstall using pip and pip3 in separate attempts, but get "Requirement already satisfied" in return.
I'm new to Python and programming in general so any tips or assistance would be appreciated.
I've had similar issues like this before.
What python does is it looks in it's site-packages folder for the package, If you have multiple python versions installed sometimes the packages will be installed for one python version instead of the one you want.
This is what you can do.
Run
pip show pyautogui
This should output something like this:
/Users/<user>/.local/share/virtualenvs/place/lib/python3.8/site-packages
This is where your pyautogui module is installed at.
Now using python run this code.
import sys
print(sys.path)
Now the sys.path should contain the same site-packages path shown when we ran 'pip show pyautogui'
If sys.path does not contain the pyautogui site-packages path then that means pip installed pyautogui for the wrong python version.
I believe running pip with this command should install pyautogui to the correct python version.
python<version> -m pip install pyautogui
Example:
python3.8 -m pip install pyautogui
You can find out your python version by running:
python --version
I have looked at other similar questions but I got no answer.
I have installed pyautogui through pip install and I have checked using pip freeze and when I try to import this module I get the error "No module named 'pyautogui'".
I have also tried to restart the IDE that I am using (Pycharm) and I still don't know what is going on.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Before doing anything else, try restarting your IDE. Sometimes it's as simple as the module wasn't available when it started up.
Otherwise, it is possible that your pip installation is running under a different version of python than the IDE you are using. Some computers come with python pre-installed, and some IDEs might install a new version as a dependency, so you can end up with two (or more) different copies of python.
The easiest solution is probably going to be to install the package from within Pycharm, which will use the same copy of python: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/guide/tips/install-and-import/#:~:text=PyCharm%20can%20do%20both.,according%20to%20your%20project%20styles.
Alternatively, you can try opening the python interpreter and importing the module there:
$ python
>>> import pyautogui
If that also fails, then installing pyautogui in the shell by running:
$ python -m pip install pyautogui
might solve it, if your IDE uses the same installation that is on your $PATH, but not the same as pip.
If that doesn't work, then you're going to need to figure out which python installations are being used where.
I've just started studying python and I really liked blessed looked like and wanted to give it a try.
I installed it using pip install blessed on the console and then I copied the following code from their site:
import os
import sys
print('Test run')
try:
from blessed import Terminal
except ModuleNotFoundError:
print('Could find the import :(')
After running the code, I receive the 'ModuleNotFoundError' exception.
How do I proper install blessed to avoid this error?
-- Edit
After some research turns out that py -m pip install blessed solved my problem.
Even though it is working now, what is the difference between using py -m pip install blessed and pip install blessed, which is what I used before?
Your edit suggests that your system's pip command runs pip for a different interpreter than the one you get by default when you run py (which is probably what you were using to run your script too). Each interpreter installed on your system will have its own set of installed modules, and it's own pip program to manage them. One interpreter usually can't use the modules installed for a different interpreter.
I am writing some basic code in visual studio code and I am trying to use pynput, but when I import the module despite the fact that I installed it using pip it gives me this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput'
I have tried to install it using pip3, but it doesn't work
I have also tried to install it using the path interpreter, but it still doesn't work
This is the code:
from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
mouse = Controller()
# Read pointer position
print('The current pointer position is {0}'.format(
mouse.position))
Strange thing is that this code works in sublime text 3,
but doesn't work in neither visual studio code nor cmd.
Thank you in advance.
Your package associations may be incorrect.
First, see where your IDE is running python. it should be something like C:\programData\Python
Reinstalling the python interpreter may fix this. Or try upgrading the pip, which uninstalls the old one, and pulls down the new one from the cloud. Open a CMD windows, and type the following command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user
This will give you a fresh pip installation. Then try "pip install pynput"
If this does not solve the issue, uninstall your current interpreter, then go to python.org, and download and install the latest interpreter. Upgrade the pip.
if you are trying to run it from within the IDE, check the paths in witch it calls the python interpreter.
if it's pointing to any conda installation try conda install pynput instead
Most IDEs create an "interpreter" for your project, which in python-speak means that the IDE set up a "virtual environment" for you. Virtual environments are great for managing dependencies across different projects. For example if you need one version of pynput for one project and a later version for another project, you can do this with two separate virtual environments, whereas if you installed pynput on your system, upgrading pynput would break your first project. More info on virtual environments
When you open command line and run pip install, this installs the package onto your system interpreter. You'll instead need to 'activate' your virtual environment and run the pip install there. You can find the path to your virtual environment by opening your interpreter settings in your IDE. Then follow these instructions to activate your virtual environment and run the pip install on your project interpreter.
Try this
pip uninstall pynput
pip install pynput
or
install pynput using conda
conda install pynput
I am getting ImportError : no module named 'requests'.
But I have installed the requests package using the command pip install requests.
On running the command pip freeze in the command prompt, the result is
requests==2.7.0
So why is this sort of error happening while running the python file?
Run in command prompt.
pip list
Check what version you have installed on your system if you have an old version.
Try to uninstall the package...
pip uninstall requests
Try after to install it:
pip install requests
You can also test if pip does not do the job.
easy_install requests
I had this error before when I was executing a python3 script, after this:
sudo pip3 install requests
the problem solved, If you are using python3, give a shot.
One possible reason is that you have multiple python executables in your environment, for example 2.6.x, 2.7.x or virtaulenv. You might install the package into one of them and run your script with another.
Type python in the prompt, and press the tab key to see what versions of Python in your environment.
In Windows it worked for me only after trying the following:
1. Open cmd inside the folder where "requests" is unpacked. (CTRL+SHIFT+right mouse click, choose the appropriate popup menu item)
2. (Here is the path to your pip3.exe)\pip3.exe install requests
Done
if it works when you do :
python
>>> import requests
then it might be a mismatch between a previous version of python on your computer and the one you are trying to use
in that case : check the location of your working python:
which python
And get sure it is matching the first line in your python code
#!<path_from_which_python_command>
Opening CMD in the location of the already installed request folder and running "pip install requests" worked for me. I am using two different versions of Python.
I think this works because requests is now installed outside my virtual environment. Haven't checked but just thought I'd write this in, in case anyone else is going crazy searching on Google.
