pyodbc module not found - python

I am facing a situation where modules like pyodbc which used to work earlier (3 weeks back) are not working anymore in my laptop. I am repeatedly getting Module not found error.
To resolve it by myself, I have gone through similar articles in stack overflow and implemented some suggestions like this. Yet the issue still persists. My machine (Windows 10) has only one python version (python v3.7.2), and I have never created any virtualenv.
C:\Users\Kris\eclipse-workspace\SQLPyODBC>conntest.py --serverName "IDEA-PC\SQLEXPRESS" --name "SampleStore" --trustedConn "yes"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Kris\eclipse-workspace\SQLPyODBC\conntest.py", line 1, in <module>
import pyodbc
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyodbc'
The referenced package is available under C:\Users\Kris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages directory. Also the path of python interpreter in eclipse IDE (PyDev) is pointing to correct python executable path.
Just to test, I have downloaded pymssql module, and guess what... it is also showing the same error message. I have uninstalled and re-installed packages. No solution.

If you're using Anaconda install using following code,
conda install -c anaconda pyodbc

Before importing pyodbc in python, you should install the module by using pip directly from cmd.
pip install pyodbc
if that does not work, try using pip to uninstall and install it again after a restart (Or kill all python related tasks). Hope it works

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing shell

Importing winshell (version 0.6) causes the following error:
>>> import winshell
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\winshell.py", line 32, in <module>
from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing shell: The specified procedure could not be found.
I finally managed to get Anaconda to start working by executing the line:
pip install pywin32==300
I had to do it twice, because the first time it went for 301, not 300. The second time then dropped it to 300. This was from the Anaconda for Windows installer downloaded just two days ago from the Anaconda website and doing a "clean install"!
What a fiasco!
Until that point, NOTHING really worked. Almost every important command within Anaconda would fail with the Win32com error, and Navigator would not even start. Apparently the latest version of pywin32 is 304, but it doesn't work either. Is anyone looking into this? For a newbie like me, this is a very bad look for Anaconda as a tool! I was on the brink of simply giving up when I literally stumbled onto this thread.
Note that it has been MONTHS between my post and the one before mine. I'd say that this has probably caused a lot of people to simply give up (assuming that there are many who actually try to install this on Windows per month, that is).
I've had similar in the past,was about to give up on Anaconda.
Here's the solution
Apparently the wrong version of pywin32 gets installed.
I had the installed version 301 and after downgrading to 228 with pip install --upgrade pywin32==228 everything just started working.
Try pip install --upgrade pywin32==228
This should resolve the issue
Version 300 of pywin32 solved this issue for me! Check this other question for more info
Had the same issue with Conda and librosa in Python 3.9.
Librosa references from win32com.shell import shellcon,shell, which was causing the same error you received.
Installing pywin32 via conda fixed the error for me:
conda install -c conda-forge librosa
I ran into this issue when trying to get Anaconda to run at all on a new installation. I followed Alex T's recommendation to install version 300 of pywin32. Like him, I had to run it twice because it first installed version 302 for some reason. After running it the second time I can now run conda commands in that environment
pip install pywin32==300
My simple solution is to install an Older version of Anaconda. This worked perfectly for me. I installed Anaconda3-2021.11-Windows-x86 version.
The Newer Version of Anaconda has some problems with pywin32. I first tried the command :
pip install --upgrade pywin32==228
but It didn't workd for me. Installing an older version finally solved the problem of anaconda navigator not launching.

Installing modules like pygal so they work in Spyder

I'm a Python beginner working with Spyder, who must pip install modules for my class; pygal, for example. When I try to install, or reinstall as an administrator, this is what I get:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install pygal
Requirement already satisfied: pygal in c:\users\flora\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python38\site-packages (2.4.0)
Yet when I try to import the module in a Spyder file, this is the message I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\flora\crash python\data mining\world_population2.py", line 2, in
import pygal
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygal'
And there's no sign of it in the dependencies in Spyder. Same thing using IDLE 3.8. I had assumed that Spyder or Anaconda would automatically be able to use it. Does it have something to do with WHERE I have saved it? I have tried reinstalling Anaconda, restarting my computer, etc. No difference.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
No idea if this will help but if you goal is to use pygal you can try using a different ide with python build in. It does not run the most current version of python by default but you can change it to the version of python you have installed.
Try using Thonny I was able to import and run some code from pygal.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput' Python3 and pip3

I want to use 'pynput', so I used pip to add it to my environment.
The installation proceeds without problem.
But I am unable to import it into my project.
I am using python 3.8.1 on my environment.
I used pip3 for installation.
I have already tried to install pynput, uninstall it and reinstall it multiple times.
My .py file doesn't have a confusing name like "pynput.py"
I am comfortable with my environment when I try to execute my file.
I am trying to run from my terminal or VSCodium, and neither of them works.
And I work on Debian 10.
pip freeze :
pynput==1.6.7
python-xlib==0.26
six==1.14.0
Traceback :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./play.py", line 6, in <module>
from pynput import keyboard
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput'
So I don't understand why it doesn't work.
thank you in advance for your help :)
When creating my project, I was not working under an environment, so I used the classic shebang: #!/bin/python3.
Then, I went under an environment to use pynput, but I just forgot to change my shebang to #!/usr/bin/env python.
So, actually, I didn't risk finding pynput
It might be possible you have two versions. Rry installing with python3 -m pip install pynput or you should use some older version of Python. I am using 3.7.5 and its works perfect for me.
Try importing from the terminal.

checking virtual environment modules

So I am following this tutorial and I am about to give up since i am working on a windows machine and I am pulling my hair out finding equivalencies.
I have a virtual environment, but when I try to run my code it dosent appear to be finding the local dependancies!!
(venv) PS C:\Users\Vince\skellys\Flask_skelly\venv> python Bartender_no_ui.py
Traceback (most recent call last): File "Bartender_no_ui.py", line 7, in <module>
import lxml
ImportError: No module named lxml
How can i check if the dependencies are there and how do i make sure my code is running from venv?? Am I just to much of a noob to be trying this tutorial anyway??
maybe relevant details- I had to use Conda rather than pip to install lxml, because pip couldnt get the dependencies of libxml2 and libxslt, but I get no module error for the other modules that I installed in the venv using pip as well
If you do
pip freeze
That should show you what modules you have installed in your virtualenv as long as you have it active.
Seeing as how you are working on windows I'd check out this site Its what I followed when I first got started.
Haven't used Conda much myself so not familiar with how it works but I'm guessing that won't install to your virtualenv. If you download lxml from here you should be able to install it into your virtualenv on windows.
its not the best solution but I figured out a hack around - I copied lxml from my c:\anaconda\pkgs folder. Code appears to be running fine. figures.

no module named 'numpy' (windows 7, python 3.4.3, numpy-1.9.2)

Please only respond to this post if you use Python on Windows, rather than Mac or Linux.
Error message:
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stdin", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'numpy'
Questions:
Regarding windows 7, python 3.4.3 and numpy-1.9.2, are there any
conflicts that would prevent these from working together?
Into which directory (please write out the complete directory path
starting with "C:") should I extract the contents of the numpy zip
file?
What is the exact command that I need to type into python command
prompt in order to install numpy?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
I was also facing this issue where in I tried using
import numpy
But it has given me error "ImportError: No module named 'numpy'"
I installed numpy using "C:\user>python -mpip install numpy" and it was successfully installed.
However I was again getting the same error
Then I checked that the path where in numpy was intalled was not listed in
import sys
print(sys.path)
Then I appended my path wherein numpy was installed using ">>> sys.path.append(r"C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages").
The above command worked fine, still problem not resolved then I restarted my python session again.
Finally it worked..!!!!(As after every append we have to restart our python session).
1) No there isn't.
2) You can use pip. pip install numpy
If you don't have pip installed, install it, its the most often used way of installing python packages. Yes it is possible to do under windows.
3) Once you have the python command prompt, you already have python installed.
1) no
2) It doesn't actually matter as pip or the installer will figure that out for you. However, just so you know, pip or whatever will install numpy into your site-packages folder.
3) I recommend downloading the NumPy installer from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.9.2/
Then you don't have to worry about having the right compiler installed. However, if you want to use pip, then you'll need to install the appropriate compiler. This is documented at the following locations:
Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 3.4
https://matthew-brett.github.io/pydagogue/python_msvc.html
I'm not even close to an expert on Python. That said, I like the notion of "keep it simple." I chose to install a Python distribution that already includes numpy. Specifially I installed Python(x,y). Everything seems to be working just fine right after install. I appreciate all those who commented on my question. Thanks
