I've installed a module named rauth through terminal with pip3 install rauth command but when I import the module and run the code on Visual Studio Code with python3 interpreter, it gives ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rauth' error. But it is indeed installed and I can use it in Anaconda. The package file is stored here.
/Users/puffedricecracker/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rauth
And it seems like all my pip installed packages are stored in that path, but those are imported outside Anaconda with no problem. Tried several other commands as google search suggested.
• pip install instead of pip3 install
• python -m pip install
• python3 -m pip install
Let me know if there is any other information needed to be specified.
this is due to the module is installed into site-packages in Anaconda but not Visual Studio. Can you check if the module exists in Visual Studio folder? Another way to test it is to open Python IDLE and run the import, it should also return an error.
I don't know if this could be an universal solution but there was a way to set where to install a package using pip.
In python shell, find where your python modules usually go. It seemed like most of pip installed packages were installed in the second path so I chose that.
>>> import re
>>> print(re.__file__)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/re.py
>>> import sqlalchemy
>>> print(sqlalchemy.__file__)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlalchemy/__init__.py
Uninstall the package using pip uninstall packagename
Reinstall with a path name.
pip install packagename -t /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(In fact, just copy pasting package files (in my case, they were rauth, rauth-0.7.3.dist-info) from anaconda package path in the post worked.)

package not installing due to NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY
can anyone know how to fix this? I tried to install "python install pyfiglet" in cmd with the same directory as the program file with, but it says CAN'T OPEN FILE AND NO SUCH FILE DIRECTORY
The python command is designed to run Python code, not to install Python modules.
What you are looking for is pip, which is the official package manager, made for installing Python modules hosted on PyPI, and with some hacks, online community sources:
python -m pip install pyfiglet
If Python detects the pip module as non-existent, which is useful in many cases (like installations that did not install pip), use the built-in ensurepip module to install it:
python -m ensurepip
Hope this resolved your problem.
Running on Windows 10, I have Python 3.7.3 installed to my c/users/myUser/appdata/local/programs folder.
When I use PIP to install a package, it seems to run fine, but when I use "import package" in python it doesn't recognize that package. What would cause this?
Running 'python --version' works and also running 'pip --version' works.
PIP shows up in my c/users/myUser/appdata/local/programs/python37-32/lib/site-packages/pip folder.
UPDATE:
So I was looking through files to determine where the libraries are located that do work with my python. The folder is located in Python/Python37-32/Lib. All of those currently work when importing. However when I do anything with PIP it does not add anything to that folder.
I noticed there are a couple different PIP executables within Python/Python37-32/Scripts which include pip.exe, pip3.exe, and pip3.7.exe. I tried using "pip3.7 install numpy" which also did not work.
I noticed when trying to add an existing package its pointing to the Python37-32/lib/site-packages folder.
SOLUTION:
I removed python from my machine, and reinstalled it. I had the same problem. What I done to fix this was to use
PS
python -m pip install --user package
Also I appended my PATH environment variable with
cmd
setx path "%path%;C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts"
That seemed to have taken care of my issue. Now when I install a package with PIP I can reference it through python.
On Windows, open up Anaconda Prompt and type in the following:
pip install json2xml
No complaints from pip for doing this (replace json2xml with your favorite package, I guess). Then, open up Jupyter QTConsole, and try:
import json2xml
The result is an ImportError: No module named 'json2xml'. The package installed (after checking pip list), but nothing recognizes it. There is no system pip (this is Windows, after all); only Anaconda's pip is being used.
What's going on?
I hope this will help, it worked for me.
When you use pip to install a package, by default it will go to your python site-packages.
i. e.
C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages
From here, you can copy the downloaded packages, then navigate and paste them into your Anaconda site-packages directory.
i. e.
C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages
That should solve the issue.
From How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory? , you can enter
python -m site
to print your python package location(s). In my case, I have Anaconda for Windows and do not have a directory C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages but did find my package installed with pip was in C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\ . This may be due to adding Anaconda to PATH.
I've installed python 3.4 on win7. I need faker module to be installed to run the script.
error:
from faker import Factory
ImportError: No module named 'faker'.
I've downloaded few zip's with faker, but unfortunately have no idea how to install it.
Please give simple instructions, how to make it work.(on windows)
Since you have downloaded the zip source from https://github.com/joke2k/faker according to your comments , you can also do the following after changing to the directory where you have setup.py -
python setup.py install
According to the github page itself, to install using pip do -
pip install fake-factory
Use the Python package tool pip.
Open a command prompt and do
pip install fake-factory
or
python -m pip install fake-factory
See the documentation for more information.
I have installed both virtualenv and pywin32 on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop, and each of them seems to work, but not with each other.
More specifically, if a virtualenv is active, then running import win32com.client in a python interactive shell fails with No module named win32com.client. The same expression succeeds, however, if no virtualenv is active.
When I try to install pywin32 with pip (which is how I normally install modules when a virtualenv is active), I get the error:
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pywin32
No distributions at all found for pywin32
...even though pywin32 is one of the modules listed in the output of
pip search pywin32
Therefore, to install pywin32 at all I had to install it using an *.exe installer downloaded from SourceForge.
Is there any way to install pywin32 within a virtualenv?
UPDATE 2016
There is now a version of pywin32 on PyPI that can be installed with pip. It is called pypiwin32, and it installs the package using the binary wheel format.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32
pip install pypiwin32
That will work in a virtualenv, or with tox, etc.
Below this line is my previous old answer. That is now outdated information.
OLD ANSWER - OUTDATED. Modern versions of virtualenv default to --no-site-packages. That means that not having access to global site-packages is now the default behavior.
Sadly, (as of July 2014) you can not pip install pywin32 in to your virtualenv. (here's the bug report)
If you want to get pywin32 running inside a virtualenv, activate the virtualenv and use easy_install and the pywin32 installer exe file. For example
easy_install "C:\Path\To\Downloads\pywin32-219.win32-py3.4.exe"

Try this:
Download directly
Enable your virtualenv
pip install --no-index --find-links:/local/dir/ SomePackage
Check out #8 on pip-installer.org (sorry no permalink)/
Create a virtualenv and activate it:
cd c:\Users\ernesto.luzon
virtualenv --no-site-packages py351env
py351env\Scripts\activate
From here, you have two options:
Download pywin32 from sourceforge project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/
Download pywin32 from unofficial (but very helpful) binary site:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywin32
Make sure you download the correct version for the Python Interpreter installed in your environment, otherwise you will encounter ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application later.
If you downloaded from sourceforge, install it using easy_install:
(py351env) C:\Users\ernesto.luzon\Downloads>easy_install pywin32-220.win-amd64-py3.5.exe
If you downloaded from gohlke, install it using pip:
(py351env) C:\Users\ernesto.luzon\Downloads>pip install pywin32-220-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
In case you encounter ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found error later on, you need these additional steps:
Run the post install script:
(py351env) C:\Users\ernesto.luzon>python py351env\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
Copied pythoncom35.dll to C:\Users\ernesto.luzon\py351env\pythoncom35.dll
Copied pywintypes35.dll to C:\Users\ernesto.luzon\py351env\pywintypes35.dll
....
Notice where it copied the 'pythoncom35.dll' and 'pywintypes35.dll' files. You need to move these files to the folder:
C:\Users\ernesto.luzon\py351env\Lib\site-packages\win32
