Installed module not found - python

I did a pip install chatterbot.
and I imported the same in a python program which while running showed a
module not found error.

Can you confirm that the pip install initially worked without any errors? If there was an issue there, it is likely due to the module name that you're using.
If that's not the case, do you know which version of python you're using? The problem may be that you're using python 3. In which case try pip3 install chatterbot instead.

First, check if this module really exists in system using pip freeze. If it shows your module installed, then check for correctness in import string, and make sure that your pip points to the interpreter you're using. If you're using venv, it must also be taken account for.
Second, take note that the chatterbot.ChatBot needs to be imported like
from chatterbot import ChatBot, not just import ChatBot.
Best of luck!

Do you use Windows or Linux?
If you use Windows. Did you set the enviroment variables?

ImportError: No module named click

I'm attempting to use click within a Python 3 virtualenv (3.9.5) script and I keep getting an import error even after installing it via pip. When I attempt to install it again it says requirement already satisfied. I feel like I'm missing something simple.
Although you are using virutalenv but just in case, make sure you are using the same version of python where click is installed, to run your script.
try to do a pip freeze or pip list to check all the modules installed, do it with and without the virtualenv activated. sometimes a simple restart of the cmd prompt can solve the issue. These kinds of problems are common in windows
Not sure but I think you should try again by changing name of virtual envirment. Because you have used same name for virtual envirment.

How to import python packages without pip install

The server that I am using has an older version of python installed, and I am unable to install packages. Is there a workaround to importing python modules? If I can create my own module and append the directory to be able to import the newly created module, then I am assuming that I should be able to do the same for already built packages. I just need to know how I would be able to install what is required for numpy and then import it using a similar method as when creating modules.
I would recommend that you find a machine to install the same version of Python to match your server. Perform the pip install from that stand alone machine. Do some level of testing to make sure that the code with run with that version of Python and everything is happy. Just the other day I found out the hard way that TensorFlow would now work on the latest Python.
The libraries are being installed for me under c:\users\<profilename>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages So you could then copy that over to the server.
I found this link that is saying the same thing.

Good Luck with it.

ImportError: No module named detector_classifier

I'm working with Concept Drift, but when trying to run my code i get this error
"ImportError: No module named detector_classifier" been trying to install the module with pip install, but all i get is no match found. Anyone had this problem before?
Before you can import third party libraries, you need to install first. If you could not install with pip install, it means it's not published on PyPI. You need to install directly from source where you found code/module for Concept Drift or detector_classifier, or whatever you're trying to use.
I think a little more information might help. Which python version and which pip version are you using? I just googled "detector_classifier" and couldn't find anything. What library does "detector_classifier" belong to?
Without much background to go off of, I would recommended making sure you have updated pip. Depending on what operating system you're using, your configuration might need some tinkering so your system knows where to look.

installing third party modules to mac

I have been struggling to install a third party module for mac.
I spotted a similar question, (What is the most compatible way to install python modules on a Mac?)
However I'm getting a syntax error when following this advice.
Could anyone help me out?
You are running Python 3.5 according to the image
pip is already available, no need to install it again.
You need to not be within the python interpreter REPL

Why can't I import pygtk?

I followed the instructions in this post. Everything installed successfully. However, when I run python I cannot import pygtk. Specifically, it says this:
>>> import pygtk \n
“ImportError: No module named pygtk”
I'm guessing I have to do some commands like make or something, but I can't find anywhere where it says what to do. Please help, I am getting very frustrated.
Edit: I should probably mention I'm on Mac OS X
How are you running python? Is it the one that comes with OSX (/usr/bin/python) or the MacPorts version (/opt/local/bin/python)?
The page you linked to has the instructions for installing pygtk under using MacPorts. So it should run with that installation of python. See the MacPorts wiki for help on how to configure your PATH variable to use the appropriate python installation.
EDIT: Try running the macports python explicitly: "/opt/local/bin/python" and then import pygtk. Also, check under the macports python site-packages directory on the filesystem to see if pygtk exists there (usually something like /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages).
If you are running git mergetool from virtual environment, then python interpreter cannot find pygtk. fix your python path for virtualenv or deactivate virtualenv first.
Below worked for me - assumes you have HomeBrew installed
I was trying to install meld and was getting the same error - this fixed it
brew install python
It is likely that you've installed pip separately (rather than through macports). So, your packages are being installed in a location that is not readable by macports-installed python. For example, in my OS X, the following code works:
[user]$ /usr/bin/python
>>> import pip
>>> for package in pip.get_installed_distributions():
>>> print package, package.location
But if I start /opt/local/bin/python (which is my default python) and say "import pip", then it gives an importerror stating there is no module named pip.
There might be two things that work for you:
1) Install pip using macports, and set that as your default (port install pip). Install pygtk again with this pip
2) Launch python explicitly with /usr/bin/python, and write your codes there.
There may be a way to have the /opt python (from macports) read modules installed by non-macports pip, but I am not aware of it.
a> pip install pygtk - (windows only),
b> brew install python
Not sure why, first options is saying its only works on windows.
Below is working fine for me.
A very general view on the problem, this is what I do if python complains about not finding a module that I know exists:
(This is very general rather basic stuff, so apologies if this is stuff that you already tried even before posting here... in that case I hope it'll be useful to someone else)
1: Go to the python installation directory and make sure the module is actually there (or: figure out where exactly it is -- I have some modules that are part of a project, and thus not in the main directory). ... sometimes this will uncover that the module is not actually installed although it looked like it was)
2: make sure you're writing it correct (capital/lowercase letters are a likely source of frustration -- the import statement needs to reflect the module's directory name)
3: if it isn't located in the python path, either setting the $PYTHONPATH environment variable or putting something like this at the beginning of your script will help:
import sys
sys.path.append('\\path\\to_the_directory\\containing_themodule')
(double slashes required to make sure they're not read as special characters)
in this example, pytk would be in \path\to_the_directory\containing_themodule\pytk'.
