I'm working on a web app and I use Django as framework.
I'm using VS Code on a macOS.
I get an error when I try to import some Django module. This is a screenshot of my code in error.
The error message is the following:
[pylint] E0401:Unable to import 'django.conf.urls'
I too was facing this error while working with Python virtual environments. In my case, it was happening because I have installed Django on my virtual environment and my base environment didn't contain any module named Django.
Base(Global) environment
and when I use the same command inside my virtual environment (myDjangoEnv)
Fix:
Now what I understood is that pylint uses the python interpreter to analyze our code and mark the error while we write the code.
Since I have three python environments in my system, hence three different python interpreters are available to my VS Code.
So if VS code uses the Python interpreter from the base environment, it will not recognize the Django module (import Error). Therefore, you are required to change the Python interpreter to the one present in your virtual environment.
It sounds complicated but it is pretty simple:
Click on the bottom left of the screen to change python interpreter.
Select from the list of available Python interpreters. Make sure you select the appropriate interpreter with respect to the current project.
Follow steps mentioned in the image. For details, or if that doesn't work, read further!!!
If you can't see your interpreter (installed in the virtual environment) listed in the drop-down list OR selecting interpreters listed don't rectify the error.
Then, you have to give the path of your interpreter (installed in venv) to vs code. Because you might have installed Django only in your venv. Happens when you don't use anaconda to create venv.
Steps to rectify-
To check the path, activate venv and type which python in terminal, this will give path. Copy the path.
Click interpreter on lower left, to pull drop-down, as shown in pic above.
Click enter the interpreter path.
Paste path copied.
This will assign the right interpreter and rectify the error.
Locate your project's virtual environment. In my case, I am working on a Django project and my virtual environment is located on the path below:
C:/Users/abc/Desktop/Virutal36/myLab/Scripts/python.exe
Copy the address of your virtual environment.
On VS Code, Select File > Preferences> Settings to open your User Settings (or use the Ctrl+, shortcut).
Create or modify an entry for python.pythonPath with the full path to your virtual environment and you will be good to go. In my case it is:
C:/Users/abc/Desktop/Virutal36/myLab01/Scripts/python.exe
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_manually-specify-an-interpreter
Ctrl+Shift+P
Type Python:select interpreter
Now we will get:
Choose Enter interpreter path:
Select Find...
Then
Check correct django version is properly installed and active?
In the active environment, calling this code in python interpreter shouldn't have errors.
from django.conf.urls import url
Check the VS studio python environment
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments
You need to select the right environment. So, go to view in tool bar, then select command pallet(ctrl+shift+p), then type "python:select interpreter", then select the right virtual environment where you start you project.
In my case I solved it using the Select Interpreter option from VS Code's Command Palette (Shift + Command + P).
I chose the Python interpreter option which corresponds with the folder in which my virtual environment was and it solved the issue immediately.
Hope it helps :)
Are you using a virtual environment (mkvirtualenv)? In that case you need to make sure you install django and pylint etc., within your virtual environment too, using the following commands.
workon [yourEnvName]
pip install pylint
pip install django
pip install djangorestframework
and so on...for all the modules you want to use.
enter image description here
Choosing a global environment helped me to recover this issue
First check the requirements that you install djangorestframework, second if you work on virtual envs maybe the pylint that you use not check in your virtual env so you can install in local the package.
For me, I opened the nested folder of my Django project. So, Django couldn't find the modules of venv.
Just mentioning, I thought it might be helpful to someone.

I'm having trouble with using 'requests' module on my Mac. I use python34 and I installed 'requests' module via pip. I can verify this via running installation again and it'll show me that module is already installed.
15:49:29|mymac [~]:pip install requests
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Although I can import 'requests' module via interactive Python interpreter, trying to execute 'import requests' in PyCharm yields error 'No module named requests'. I checked my PyCharm Python interpreter settings and (I believe) it's set to same python34 as used in my environment. However, I can't see 'requests' module listed in PyCharm either.
It's obvious that I'm missing something here. Can you guys advise where should I look or what should I fix in order to get this module working? I was living under impression that when I install module via pip in my environment, PyCharm will detect these changes. However, it seems something is broken on my side ...
In my case, using a pre-existing virtualenv did not work in the editor - all modules were marked as unresolved reference (running naturally works, as this is outside of the editor's config, just running an external process (not so easy for debugging)).
Turns out PyCharm did not add the site-packages directory... the fix is to manually add it.
On Pycharm professional 2022.3
Open File -> Settings -> Python Interpreter, open the drop-down and pick "Show All..." (to edit the config) (1), right click your interpreter (2), click "Show Interpreter Paths" (3).
In that screen, manually add the "site-packages" directory of the virtual environment [looks like .../venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (4) (I've added the "Lib" also, for a good measure); once done and saved, they will turn up in the interpreter paths.
The other thing that won't hurt to do is select "Associate this virtual environment with the current project", in the interpreter's edit box.
If you are using PyCharms CE (Community Edition), then click on:
File->Default Settings->Project Interpreter
See the + sign at the bottom, click on it. It will open another dialog with a host of modules available. Select your package (e.g. requests) and PyCharm will do the rest.
This issue arises when the package you're using was installed outside of the environment (Anaconda or virtualenv, for example). In order to have PyCharm recognize packages installed outside of your particular environment, execute the following steps:
Go to
Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter -> 3 dots -> Show All ->
Select relevant interpreter -> click on tree icon Show paths for the selected interpreter
Now check what paths are available and add the path that points to the package installation directory outside of your environment to the interpreter paths.
To find a package location use:
$ pip show gym
Name: gym
Version: 0.13.0
Summary: The OpenAI Gym: A toolkit for developing and comparing your reinforcement learning agents.
Home-page: https://github.com/openai/gym
Author: OpenAI
Author-email: gym#openai.com
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
...
Add the path specified under Location to the interpreter paths, here
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Then, let indexing finish and perhaps additionally reopen your project.
Open python console of your pyCharm. Click on Rerun.
It will say something like following on the very first line
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 52631 52632
in this scenario pyCharm is using following interpretor
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
Now fire up console and run following command
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 -m pip install <name of the package>
This should install your package :)
Pycharm is unable to recognize installed local modules, since python interpreter selected is wrong. It should be the one, where your pip packages are installed i.e. virtual environment.
I had installed packages via pip in Windows. In Pycharm, they were neither detected nor any other Python interpreter was being shown (only python 3.6 is installed on my system).
I restarted the IDE. Now I was able to see python interpreter created in my virtual environment. Select that python interpreter and all your packages will be shown and detected. Enjoy!
Using dual python 2.7 and 3.4 with 2.7 as default, I've always used pip3 to install modules for the 3.4 interpreter, and pip to install modules for the 2.7 interpreter.
Try this:
pip3 install requests
This is because you have not selected two options while creating your project:-
** inherit global site packages
** make available to all projects
Now you need to create a new project and don't forget to tick these two options while selecting project interpreter.
The solution is easy (PyCharm 2021.2.3 Community Edition).
I'm on Windows but the user interface should be the same.
In the project tree, open External libraries > Python interpreter > venv > pyvenv.cfg.
Then change:
include-system-site-packages = false
to:
include-system-site-packages = true
Before going further, I want to point out how to configure a Python interpreter in PyCharm: [SO]: How to install Python using the "embeddable zip file" (#CristiFati's answer). Although the question is for Win, and has some particularities, configuring PyCharm is generic enough and should apply to any situation (with minor changes).
There are multiple possible reasons for this behavior.
1. Python instance mismatch
Happens when there are multiple Python instances (installed, VEnvs, Conda, custom built, ...) on a machine. Users think they're using one particular instance (with a set of properties (installed packages)), but in fact they are using another (with different properties), hence the confusion. It's harder to figure out things when the 2 instances have the same version (and somehow similar locations)
Happens mostly due to environmental configuration (whichever path comes 1st in ${PATH}, aliases (on Nix), ...)
It's not PyCharm specific (meaning that it's more generic, also happens outside it), but a typical PyCharm related example is different console interpreter and project interpreter, leading to confusion
The fix is to specify full paths (and pay attention to them) when using tools like Python, PIP, .... Check [SO]: How to install a package for a specific Python version on Windows 10? (#CristiFati's answer) for more details
This is precisely the reason why this question exists. There are 2 Python versions involved:
Project interpreter: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4
Interpreter having the Requests module: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4
well, assuming the 2 paths are not somehow related (SymLinked), but in latest OSX versions that I had the chance to check (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey) this doesn't happen (by default)
When dealing with this kind of error, it always helps (most likely) displaying the following information (in a script or interpreter console):
import os
import sys
print(sys.executable)
print(sys.version)
print(os.getcwd())
print(getattr(os, "uname", lambda: None)())
print(sys.path)
2. Python's module search mechanism misunderstanding
According to [Python.Docs]: Modules - The Module Search Path:
When a module named spam is imported, the interpreter first searches for a built-in module with that name. These module names are listed in sys.builtin_module_names. If not found, it then searches for a file named spam.py in a list of directories given by the variable sys.path. sys.path is initialized from these locations:
The directory containing the input script (or the current directory when no file is specified).
PYTHONPATH (a list of directory names, with the same syntax as the shell variable PATH).
The installation-dependent default (by convention including a site-packages directory, handled by the site module).
A module might be located in the current dir, or its path might be added to ${PYTHONPATH}. That could trick users into making them believe that the module is actually installed in the current Python instance ('s site-packages). But, when running the current Python instance from a different dir (or with different ${PYTHONPATH}) the module would be missing, yielding lots of headaches
For a fix, check [SO]: How PyCharm imports differently than system command prompt (Windows) (#CristiFati's answer)
3. A PyCharm bug
Not very likely, but it could happen. An example (not related to this question): [SO]: PyCharm 2019.2 not showing Traceback on Exception (#CristiFati's answer)
To fix, follow one of the options from the above URL
4. A glitch
Not likely, but mentioning anyway. Due to some cause (e.g.: HW / SW failure), the system ended up in an inconsistent state, yielding all kinds of strange behaviors
Possible fixes:
Restart PyCharm
Restart the machine
Recreate the project (remove the .idea dir from the project)
Reset PyCharm settings: from menu select File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings.... Check [JetBrains]: Configuring PyCharm settings or [JetBrains.IntelliJ-Support]: Changing IDE default directories used for config, plugins, and caches storage for more details
Reinstall PyCharm
Needless to say that the last 2 options should only be attempted as a last resort, and only by experts, as they might mess up other projects and not even fix the problem
Not directly related to the question, but posting:
[SO]: Run / Debug a Django application's UnitTests from the mouse right click context menu in PyCharm Community Edition? (a PyCharm related investigation from a while ago)
[SO]: ImportError: No module named win32com.client (#CristiFati's answer)
If you go to pycharm project interpreter -> clicked on one of the installed packages then hover -> you will see where pycharm is installing the packages. This is where you are supposed to have your package installed.
Now if you did sudo -H pip3 install <package>
pip3 installs it to different directory which is /usr/local/lib/site-packages
since it is different directory from what pycharm knows hence your package is not showing in pycharm.
Solution: just install the package using pycharm by going to File->Settings->Project->Project Interpreter -> click on (+) and search the package you want to install and just click ok.
-> you will be prompted package successfully installed and you will see it pycharm.
If any one faces the same problem that he/she installs the python packages but the PyCharm IDE doesn't shows these packages then following the following steps:
Go to the project in the left side of the PyCharm IDE then
Click on the venv library then
Open the pyvenv.cfg file in any editor then
Change this piece of code (include-system-site-packages = flase) from false to true
Then save it and close it and also close then pycharm then
Open PyCharm again and your problem is solved.
Thanks
This did my head in as well, and turns out, the only thing I needed to do is RESTART Pycharm. Sometimes after you've installed the pip, you can't load it into your project, even if the pip shows as installed in your Settings. Bummer.
For Anaconda:
Start Anaconda Navigator -> Enviroments -> "Your_Enviroment" -> Update Index -> Restart IDE.
Solved it for me.
After pip installing everything I needed. I went to the interpreter and re-pointed it back to where it was at already.
My case: python3.6 in /anaconda3/bin/python using virtualenv...
Additionally, before I hit the plus "+" sign to install a new package. I had to deselect the conda icon to the right of it. Seems like it would be the opposite, but only then did it recognize the packages I had/needed via query.
In my case the packages were installed via setup.py + easy_install, and the they ends up in *.egg directories in site_package dir, which can be recognized by python but not pycharm.
I removed them all then reinstalled with pip install and it works after that, luckily the project I was working on came up with a requirements.txt file, so the command for it was:
pip install -r ./requirement.txt
I just ran into this issue in a brand new install/project, but I'm using the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. It's essentially the same as PyCharm but the project settings are a little different. For me, the project was pointing to the right Python virtual environment but not even built-in modules were being recognized.
It turns out the SDK classpath was empty. I added paths for venv/lib/python3.8 and venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages and the issue was resolved. File->Project Structure and under Platform Settings, click SDKs, select your Python SDK, and make sure the class paths are there.
pip install --user discord
above command solves my problem, just use the "--user" flag
I fixed my particular issue by installing directly to the interpreter. Go to settings and hit the "+" below the in-use interpreter then search for the package and install. I believe I'm having the issue in the first place because I didn't set up with my interpreter correctly with my venv (not exactly sure, but this fixed it).
I was having issues with djangorestframework-simplejwt because it was the first package I hadn't installed to this interpreter from previous projects before starting the current one, but should work for any other package that isn't showing as imported. To reiterate though I think this is a workaround that doesn't solve the setup issue causing this.
If you are having issues with the underlying (i.e. pycharm's languge server) mark everything as root and create a new project. See details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73418320/1601580 this seems to happy to me only when I install packages as in editable mode with pip (i.e. pip install -e . or conda develop). Details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73418320/1601580
--WINDOWS--
if using Pycharm GUI package installer works fine for installing packages for your virtual environment but you cannot do the same in the terminal,
this is because you did not setup virtual env in your terminal, instead, your terminal uses Power Shell which doesn't use your virtual env
there should be (venv) before you're command line as shown instead of (PS)
if you have (PS), this means your terminal is using Power Shell instead of cmd
to fix this, click on the down arrow and select the command prompt
select command prompt
now you will get (venv) and just type pip install #package name# and the package will be added to your virtual environment
On windows I had to cd into the venv folder and then cd into the scripts folder, then pip install module started to work
cd venv
cd scripts
pip install module
instead of running pip install in the terminal -> local use terminal -> command prompt
see below image

In your pycharm terminal run pip/pip3 install package_name
I was running the Django project without any problems. Until I reinstalled Windows and then reinstalled vscode! Now that I am running the Django project, vscode shows the following error:
Error: no python at C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe
This might be occurs if the python directory still in the environment variables path list.
First remove python entry from the environment variables path if exists.
Also there will be a chance for virtual environments in your project. If the virtual environment is setup in the uninstalled python version then you will get the same error message.
So, remove the virtual environments which is created under the uninstalled python. It can be done by deleting the virtual environment folder from your system.
Edit pyvenv.cfg
home = C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32
include-system-site-packages = false
version = 3.8.3
When I edited this file after checking the file path on my computer, it worked for me.
Based on the information you provided, it is recommended that you check the Python environment variables.
Since the Windows system is reinstalled, the environment variables are restored to the default settings. Therefore, please add Python environment variables:
Or you can reinstall Python and check the "Add Python 3.8 to PATH" option, which will automatically add Python environment variables.
You could also refer to : Python environment variables.
It's very simple
Delete your dbsqite3 file from your project folder
Open your project in CMD
install virtual environment pip install virtaualenv
virtualenv .
\scripts\activate
python manage.py runserver
and play with your code
you shared.
This works for Pycharm, It did to me
From your projects folder, delete the 3 folders i.e. .ide,venv, and the third folder i think.. do not touch the projects or scripts you created. After wards, go to Pycharm and configure python interpreter again. This will now enable you to run yo scripts now with no prob
make sure to install virtualenv befor install python
check wheather django is installed (if your are using django framework).
pip install django
I'm trying to debug some python code using VS code. I'm getting the following error about a module that I am sure is installed.
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'SimpleITK'
File "C:\Users\Mido\Desktop\ProstateX-project\src\01-preprocessing\03_resample_nifti.py", line 8, in <module>
import SimpleITK as sitk
I installed the module using
sudo pip install SimpleITK
I know that it was installed because I was getting a similar error when I ran the code through the command line, and it was fixed by doing the above. I don't understand why VS code does not recognize that
After installing a new module via pip reloading vscode may work if vscode doesn't recognize it. To do this, make sure that the module is installed inside the virtual environment by creating and activating a virtualenv:
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
Make sure to use the correct way of installing a module with pip:
python3 -m pip install {new_module}
Replace the string "{new_module}" with your module name. After that, make sure to reload vscode by clicking Ctrl+Shift+P, and selecting Reload window.
Now vscode will know the new module and autocompletion works.
sudo pip install is most likely installing globally into a Python interpreter that is different than the one that you have selected in VS Code. Please select the Python interpreter you want to use and then install explicitly using that interpreter (if you're not using a virtual environment then use something like /path/to/python -m pip install SimpleITK, although I strongly recommend using a virtual environment and to not install packages globally).
In Mac, correctly selecting the Python Interpreter worked for me:
From within VS Code, select a Python 3 interpreter by opening the Command Palette (⇧⌘P), start typing the Python: Select Interpreter command to search, then select the command. You can also use the Select Python Environment option on the Status Bar if available (it may already show a selected interpreter, too):
No interpreter selected
The command presents a list of available interpreters that VS Code can find automatically, including virtual environments. If you don't see the desired interpreter, see Configuring Python environments.
Source :VS Code Select Interpreter
This error: your vscode use other python version. This solution change vscode use current python.
In terminal find current python version:
py --version
In vscode Press Ctrl+Shift+P then type:
Python: Select Interpreter
Select current python version
I ran into this problem with VSCode and resolved it by setting my Python interpreter within VSCode to the same as the one in my system path (type "echo %PATH%" on Windows and look for Python) via the process here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial#_select-a-python-interpreter
There are a lot of proposed answers that suggest changing the launch.json or the settings.json file. However, neither of these solutions worked for me.
My situation:
Is Python environment selected? yes
Does the Terminal recognize Python environment? yes
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal? yes
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"? yes
Does the code run when I click "Run Code"? no
The only solution that worked for me is to:
Open Windows Terminal (or cmd)
Activate environment: conda activate <environment_name>
Open Visual Studio Code from Terminal: code
Then, "Run Code" (#5) works without any issues.
Source:
"module not found error" in VS Code using Conda - l3d00m's answer
Faced similar issue and here is how I fixed it. Remember that there are multiple ways to run your code in VS code. And for each way you may end up with different interpreters and environments. For example:
1. Creating virtual env and installing libraries
In my case I opted into creating virtual environment and doing so outside of VS Code using command prompt:
python -m venv .plotting_test
Following that I activated it:
.plotting_test\Scripts\activate.bat
Following that I installed additional libraries:
python -m pip install matplotlib
Following that I made sure to see it was all installed ok:
python -m pip list
And I also checked where for current directory:
cd
2. Point VS Code & VS Code Code Runner to virtual environment
Opened vs code, closed previous workspaces, opened new folder, created test.py as I was starting new. Pressed ctrl + shift + p. Selected ```Python: Select Interpreter``:
Followed by + Enter interpreted path
Navigated to directory from last step from section 1. Found my virtual environment folder created in step one and pointed VS code to that version's python.exe in Scripts:
Verified I am pointed to such:
Saved as workspace so that I can create default workspace settings for this project:
In workspace settings files defined paths to my virtual environment created n step 1 for workspace interpreter & CODE RUNNER(!):
"settings": {
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/python.exe",
"code-runner.executorMap": {"python": "call C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/activate.bat && python -u"}
}
}
Reloaded window just to make sure (ctrl + shift + p) = "Developer: Reload Window"
Now run code and run python file should be execute under your specified envs:
Try running pip list in VS Code to check if the module is installed, next check if your python version is correct/supports that version of SimpleITK. It may be a problem with the python interpreter that you are using for VS Code (ie. the module may be installed on a different python instance than the one your VS Code is using)
Is Python environment selected?
Does the Terminal recognize the Python environment?
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal?
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"?
if the answer to the above is "yes."
Then,
Try running the Code using the option "Run python file in terminal" (in code runner extension). And assign a new shortcut for that for future use...
How to fix module not found error in Visual Studio code?
To Solve VSCode ModuleNotFoundError: No module named X Error Make sure you are running from the package folder (not from package/module ) if you want import module. calculations to work. You can also set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the path to the package folder.
Once you have created a virtual environment, and installed your required packages in that environment, close VS code. For Windows platform, open command prompt and navigate to the folder where your virtual env folder is created. And then launch VS code from there using the command code .
For ex: My virtual env name is .imgenv, and its inside C:\py_stuff\projects
So, I navigate to C:\py_stuff\projects and then type code .
Now, your VS code should recognize the packages !
I just ran into the same issue. I found that if I selected all text before shift enter the script would compile as a file instead of as a single line.
I had the same problem. I bet you have a shebang statement at the top of your file.
If you do.
Visual Studios settings
Under "Code-runner->Code-runner: Respect Shebang" section or just do a search for "Code-runner: Respect Shebang"
Uncheck weather to respect Shebang to run code.
Now it will run under the virtual environment and find the modules that you installed using pip! :)
I struggled with this for a very long time, and had tried almost every other answer. I wasn't using pip, so that wasn't the issue. But still VS Code wasn't finding the modules that were installed in the Selected Interpreter.
Ultimately it came down to old conflicts that existed because I switched to miniconda, and VS Code was still looking for anaconda3.
I completely wiped VS Code and its associated files (cache, preference files, etc.) from my machine (some instructions), and installed a clean version.
This now syncs as expected with miniconda.
If you have different python versions installed, be sure you install module with right one.
python -m pip install <module>
or
python3 -m pip install <module>
Run your environment from a directory not in the users directory. I solved my problem running my environment from C:\Code\ProjectA\
I discovered my problem by running:
IMPORT os
Mycwd = os.getcwd()
PRINT(Mycwd)
.venv/Lib/SitePackages is the default directory where Vscode looks for Modules.
This directory is automatically created on creating .venv via the command Pallete.
External modules installed via pip are placed in this directory by default.
Place self created modules inside this folder manually.
For mac users
In the terminal check which python you are using by command which python. It will give you the path of the python interpreter path. After that type cmd shift P and type Python: Select interpreter.
After that select + Enter interpreter path and paste the path which you got after running the command which python.
I have a Django project. I have installed django-extensions from terminal and added django-extensions to installed apps.
In pycharm i have selected the proper venv path for python interpreter
Now in pycharm when I run the server it says django-extension not found. But I can run the server from terminal without any errors.
In pycharm > settings > python interpreter : django-extensions is not shown.
I checked pip list in terminal and it shows django-extension package. Also I can see django-extension folder in site-packages. I am not able to understand what's the problem.
In Pycharm most of the pacakges are shown but only few are not shown
if you are using virtualenv, you need to install it proper way switching off virtualenv by using deactivate
and then installing package to your project therefore pycharm will read it in the project interprter folder
You need to set your project interpreter in pycharm.
It will be at File > settings > project interpreter
In above path you need to select your virtual environment (if not showing then add by clicking on '+' option)and apply then click on OK.
Now it won't show that error message.
1.Check if you are using a good virtual environment
If you have good env click on add icon on right side and add package manual
Sorry, there was no mistake with pycharm.
I have copied a complete virtualenv with my django project.
Later i found that in the /bin/activate
VIRTUAL_ENV="/path/to/original/virtualenv"
is still pointing to the folder from which i copied the project along with the vistualenv.
It should be
VIRTUAL_ENV="/path/to/present/virtualenv"
The packages are getting installed in the original folder. So now everything is working fine
Am new in flask development and trying to import flask in my project but Pylint is giving this error in VSCode E0401:Unable to import 'flask', but I installed flask already in my project but I don't know how to solve this, how can I resolve it.
My virtual environment is installed , and the image which proves is below:
The error am getting code , the underlined from:
what am I missing?
Solution is to switch Interpreter
Simple solution :
Go to command palette
Type-- Python:Select Interpreter
Select virtual environment that you created
answered specifically for vscode can work for other also .
Go to Command Palette using Ctrl + Shift + P.
select python:select interpreter and then choose your appropriate virtualenv.
I guess VS Code doesn't use the correct virtualenv.
To select a virtualenv using the GUI, see Configuring Python environments.
If you use the terminal and have code in your path, launch VS code from your workspace and the virtualenv will be loaded automatically:
cd python-workspace
code -n python-workspace
(note: the -n is for new window)
If this does not work, ensure that pylint is installed in your virtualenv (i.e. your are not using the global pylint). If it still does not work, have a look at this troubleshooting guide.
Due to the fact that you are using a virtual environment, first of all it's required that Pylint is installed inside this virtual env.
Furthermore, you need to add the following entry to your workspace settings to avoid the [pylint] E0401 error:
"python.linting.pylintPath": "/path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/pylint"
This overrides the user settings (global settings) and instructs VSCode to use the Pylint version within your virtual env (instead of the global one). That was probably the point you was missing ;-)
I have the same problem when I code in VS code.
I open Command Palette by ⇧⌘P. And run the linter to solve this problem like this picture.
Here is the document from VS code.
The python extension picks up the venv automatically, and activates it for new terminals panes:
So selecting interpreter is not the issue. The only way I can get this to work is to install pylint into the user path after activating the venv:
./venv/bin/pip install -U pylint
How this works to solve the E0401 I got in VSCode, don't ask me, I can't explain it. Feels like cheating. I thought the point of using virtualenvs was so that we could avoid having to deal with ambiguities across system/site/user modules. 🥺
In my case, the vscode cannot run the lint becouse my flask install with venv environment, so I deactivate the vent and install flask again in the normal environment , the lint will be work~
I solved the problem using the command
sudo apt install python3-flask
You can just install pylint in your virtualenv using
pip install pylint
(inside your terminal) and restart your VS code.
Please check if you have created a .pylintrc file at the root of your project.
In my case, I have disabled pylint. and it works
Use Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command pallet in VSCode and type python select linter, then you can disable the linter there.
