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.

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
I am working on a project where I need to use the Google Analytics API to extract data into a python notebook.
I installed the googleanalytics library using:
!pip install googleanalytics
and it successfully installed.
Then I tried importing the library using:
import googleanalytics as ga
but it gives me a ModuleNotFound error which shows:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urlparse'
I then checked which library urlparse belongs to and found that it is a part of urllib3 library. So I tried installing that library but I got a message that it is already installed.
So I separately tried importing urlparse to check if it works using:
from urllib.parse import urlparse
and it works.
In summary, the urlparse module is installed but when I import googleanalytics library, I get an error that says module is not found.
How can that be fixed?
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

I have imported the requests package (pip install requests) and it shows when I run pip list, but when I run code that uses import requests, it gives me the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'". I've tried updating pip but so far nothing has worked.
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.
