No module named joblib Python

I'm trying to run this : https://github.com/HansiMcKlaus/AudioSpectrumVisualizer
And so I followed needed to be done to run it.
I pip install all the requirements, ffmpeg and try to run with the default example.
% python AudioSpectrumVisualizer.py 'sample.mp3'
And I have the error message :
ImportError: No module named joblib
Which is weird, because I already installed joblib.
So I tried some stuff,
tried to install it again :
% pip3 install joblib
Requirement already satisfied: joblib in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (1.0.0)
tried to export the PythonPath in the bash and zsh profile files.
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages"
Nothing works.
I'm on Mac M1 and I never had any issue installing modules with python before.
Thanks for the help

you might have multiple installations of python itself, causing your program and command line to refer to the different versions.
An example to fix this would be to uninstall the old versions of python

run it with the sudo code, this might help!

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'schedule'

I have python program that imports schedule (import schedule) at the beginning. The code executes without a problem with python3 command, but starting it from other python file with call("sudo python3 ProgramWithSchedule.py", shell=True) returns error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'schedule'. And I can't figure out why...
I have library schedule installed with pip, pip3 AND apt-get (tried all three just to be sure :)
Thanks!

Because you are using a different interpreter/virtual environment for each project, which is generally considered the best practice.
You can apply the command below to create a file with all your installed modules, so you can use them whenever you want, by a single command to install all.
To keep/save all modules in a file:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
To install all of them with a single command in a new interpreter/virtual environment:
pip install requirements.txt
In case you tried installing a package and get an output:>>Requirement already satisfied.
You will find a path in your output where it says Requirement already satisfied, copy the path. Now go back to your working environment.
import sys
sys.path.append("/the/path/you/copied")
import schedule

You can try to force the usage of the same python interpreter with :
call(f"sudo {os.getenv('PYTHON3')} ProgramWithSchedule.py", shell=True)
and call your-script.py with :
PYTHON3=$(type python3) your-script.py ...

ModuleNotFoundError after pip install . (custom module)

I am starting a custom package called nate-givens-toolkit.
I want to use a module from that package in a Jupyter notebook in a different folder.
Here is my structure
- nate-givens-toolkit/
- setup.py
- nate_givens_toolkit/
- cloud_io.py
- __init__.py
- project/
- project_nb.ipynb
I am going into nate_givens_toolkit (in the console) and running: pip3 install .
The output I get looks like everything is just fine.
Processing /home/ec2-user/nate-givens-toolkit

But if I go into project_nb.ipynb and write:
from nate_givens_toolkit import cloud_io as cloud
I get: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nate_givens_toolkit'
The same thing happens if I run python from the console. As long as I'm in the nate-givens-toolkit directory I can import and run it fine. But if I navigate up a level and try the import I get ModuleNotFoundError.
I don't understand why pip install seems to work, but I still get this ModuleNotFoundError. I thought the whole point of the pip install would be that I could then import from files in other directory without having to worry about relative paths and such. (I've done this exact same thing in a totally different context for work and it was fine.)
I've tried the solutions for similar issues like these:
after pip successful installed: ModuleNotFoundError
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' after pip install
So far, haven't found anything that works.
Everything I'm doing is inside the same conda venv.
Help?

I found the answer to my question here: Import py file in another directory in Jupyter notebook. (Note: it wasn't the accepted answer on that post, it was the second answer after the accepted answer.)
The trick is that I needed to do use the -e flag when using pip install.
So instead of
pip install .
I had to run
pip install -e .
Once I ran that, it worked in Python from the console and also in Jupyter.

Python pip install gives “Command ”python setup.py egg_info“ failed with error code 1”

Edit: Yes I know this question already exists, except my question is a bit different and none of the solutions fixed it.
I do most of my Python stuff when I'm at work and not on my personal machine, but I decided to install it on my personal computer as well. I fresh installed python 3.6.1, and created a virtual environment with virtualenv. Then within the virtualenv I tried to pip install urllib (or any module) and I received the error:
(pdbot) C:\Users\user\Documents\pdbot>pip install urllib
Collecting urllib
Using cached urllib-1.21.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

SyntaxError: invalid token
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I read elsewhere that this error had something to do with setuptools not being properly installed. So I ran this to attempt to fix the issue:
easy_install -U setuptools
I ended up receiving an even weirder error next:
(pdbot) C:\Users\zeke\Documents\pdbot>easy_install -U setuptools

This looks like a permissions error, but I ran these both in an administrator command prompt (Windows 10) and got the same result. I am the only user on this computer and I have all admin permissions. Is this virtualenv causing an issue? How do I remedy it?
EDIT: I was able to fix the permissions issue by leveraging the python executable like so:
python -m easy_install -U setuptools
But it didn't fix the python setup.py egg_info issue. I still get this error message when trying to pip install anything:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I have tried both python -m pip install urllib and pip install urllib and neither work.

I had the same problem when trying to install urllib, but after doing a pip search urllib, I discovered that the problem was due to the version of urllib. From the search:
$ pip search urllib
...
> urllib5 (5.0.0) - Just increment the number and create a new lib. Never fix the original one.
At the end, a simple
pip install urllib5
within an elevated shell solved it.

Your problem has to do with permissions. The related/similar tools setup_tools, easy_install, and pip all tend to set a default set of permissions on files and folders they try to create in the package installation folder(s), rather than trying to match access permissions of the location they're installing in.
On Linux systems, where files and folders individually have permissions, this is frequently bypassed with the sudo command. On Windows, the equivalent is to run the installer as an Administrator. Since you're in the console, you have to open a console with Administrator privileges to run the pip command in.
Notable under Windows, the modules installed with pip from an Administrator console are still accessible to all users of the system that have the proper path in the PYTHONPATH system environment variable. Under Linux however, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the files themselves may not be created with read and execute access for other users and may need to have their permissions manually modified after installation.
WARNING: urllib vs urllib2 vs urllibx
Both other answers claim that the problem is you're not specifying the correct "version" of the module in the call to pip. Neither is correct, as the error clearly indicates an installation folder access permissions violation causing the failure, but they also incorrectly recommended VERY unsafe behavior.
pip install urllib != pip install urllib5 these are two completely different packages.
The documentation for pip (https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#id17) clearly says the way to specify a module version explicitly is pip install 'urllib==5'.
As part of how the package management engine implemented by pip works, running the command pip install urllib will always try to use the latest version of the urllib package, so you shouldn't need to specify the version unless you have some reason that you need a very specific version of the module.

There are two points to make in order to answer your question:
1. You are lucky you did not install that package!
The package you were trying to install was a maliciously created python package that was designed to look like a real package (in this case urllib3). If you had installed it, the package would have operated as normal except it would have sent some basic information about the system on which you installed the package to a URL (you can see more details on this here). You can read more about this fake package at either of the following links:
https://app.threatconnect.com/auth/incident/incident.xhtml?incident=5256822&owner=Common%20Community (you can sign up for a free account to view this one)
http://www.nbu.gov.sk/skcsirt-sa-20170909-pypi/index.html
Sending basic information about your systems to an unknown source isn't the worst thing you could do, but is certainly something you want to avoid when possible.
2. To properly install a package...
Specifically urllib:
To install urllib, you need to specify the version of the package you would like to install. For example, pip install urllib3.
Any package in general:
As #Elisabete Coelho suggested, you can use the pip search <package-name> feature to view the available packages. This is not perfect, however, as it may list malicious libraries like the one you were trying to install. A good guideline is that you should follow the installation instructions in a package's documentation closely to avoid any unforeseen issues. This is just an unfortunate necessity of living in a world where people make pretend python packages.

Unable to get up and running with TextBlob

This morning I set out to install the TextBlob module found at https://textblob.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
Per the installation documentation I first ran:
pip install -U textblob
Now if I run that command I get the following:
Requirement already up-to-date: textblob in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/textblob-0.5.0-py2.7.egg
Requirement already up-to-date: PyYAML in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from textblob)
Cleaning up...
While it would appear to be installed, when I try to run a one line file (wherein the only line is from text.blob import TextBlob I am told ImportError: No module named blob
So then I tried to install from git, first I cloned the repository and then I ran both of the following snippets
sudo python setup.py install
and
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
Unfortunately neither one of those commands solved my issue. So now im stuck. I suppose the best course of action is to start over but im pretty much lost.

As Blender pointed out in his comments above, my problem was with a text.py file in the same directory that I was trying to run TextBlob. The deletion of this file led to the fixture of my issue.
Thank you Blender.

For anyone else, who may have this issue, I had another virtual environment open in my VS Code terminal (conda) that was not the same virtual environment I installed the textblob package in. Switched over and all was good.
