ImportError: No module named virtualenv - python

I am using Django 1.3.7 and python 2.7.6 on windows7
I got an error when I executing my manage.py in this line of code
import shutil, sys, virtualenv, subprocess
amd running it, I got this error
C:\Django-Proj\>python manage.py update_ve
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 4, in <module>
import shutil, sys, virtualenv, subprocess
ImportError: No module named virtualenv
Does anyone have an Idea about my case?

Install virtualenv using pip install virtualenv.
If you have it already installed, try reinstalling it by removing it with pip uninstall virtualenv and then reinstalling it.
Good Luck.

I had to install virtualenv with the -H flag to set HOME variable to target user's home dir.
sudo -H pip install virtualenv

I think the problem is you need sudo to globally install virtualenv.
> pip install virtualenv
Could not find an activated virtualenv (required).
> sudo pip install virtualenv
Downloading/unpacking virtualenv
...
But this creates files readable only by root (depending on the umask).
In this case, uninstalling/reinstalling may not always help.
You can check with ls -la /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/virtualenv.py (replacing 2.7 with whatever version you have or are targeting).
My solution was simply:
sudo chmod -R o+rX /usr/local/lib/python2.7

Use pip3 instead of pip. I had the same issue and pip3 worked for me.
$ pip3 install virtualenv
$ virtualenv venv --python=python3

Try
python3 -m pip uninstall virtualenv
python3 -m pip install virtualenv

I just ran into this same problem. I had to pip uninstall virtualenv as a user with admin rights, then pip install virtualenv as a normal user. I think it's some kind of permissions issue if you installed virtualenv under admin rights.

>virtualenv
ImportError: No module named 'virtualenv'
>pip uninstall virtualenv
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
>sudo pip uninstall virtualenv
Successfully uninstalled virtualenv-15.1.0
>pip install virtualenv
Collecting virtualenv
>virtualenv
Options:
Bingo!

I had the same problem when I created my virtualenv via pycharm and installed requirements with pycharm.
After trail and error , I found that installed requirements are not taken into account by the virtualenv.
The solution is to reinstall all requirements once you have activated your virtualenv:
venv\scripts\activate
python -m pip install -r YourRequirements.txt
Next time I'd better create my virtualenv directly with command line

Got this error when using the ansible pip module automating some pip installs on my localhost.
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["/opt/bin/virtualenv", "--system-site-packages", "-p/usr/bin/python3", "/opt/venv/myenv"], "msg": "\n:stderr: /usr/bin/python3: No module named virtualenv\n"}
Uninstalling virtualenv python3 -m pip uninstall virtualenv did show virtualenv was installed here /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/virtualenv.
In the ansible task specify the virtualenv_command:
- name: install requirements file
pip:
virtualenv_command: "/home/{{whoami.stdout}}/.local/bin/virtualenv"
virtualenv: "/home/{{whoami.stdout}}/.venv/{{item.env.virtualenv}}"
requirements: "/home/{{whoami.stdout}}/git/{{item.env.requirements_txt}}"
virtualenv_site_packages: yes
when: req_stat.stat.exists

For mac os the issue was with virtualenv. This is because the folder virtualenv did not exist.
This worked well
python3 -m venv env

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.embed.via_app_data' when I created new env by virtualenv

I was creating a new virtual environment on Ubuntu 20.04:
$ virtualenv my_env
But it gave an error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.embed.via_app_data'
Other info:
$ virtualenv --version
virtualenv 20.0.17 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py
#yushulx
I also ran into the same issue. I installed both via pip3 and via sudo apt install python3-virtualenv and it gave me an error but after I ran pip3 uninstall virtualenv I could create a virtualenv without issue
Try to create the virtual environment using directly venv module
python3 -m venv my_env
To fix this on Ubuntu 20.04, I had to uninstall virtualenv from the system: apt remove python3-virtualenv, and reinstall it using pip: pip install --user virtualenv --force-reinstall. I had errors about dependencies conflicts, I fixed them by calling pip install --user ${package} --force-reinstall for every package involved.
virtualenv is installed by default with python itself and when you install virtualenv via pip3 and try to create virtual environment using pipenv you will get this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.embed.via_app_data
check the version of installed virtualenv using apt list --installed
mine is:
python3-virtualenv/focal,focal,now 20.0.17-1 all [installed,automatic]
with the installed virtualenv by pip3
min is :
virtualenv 20.4.0
default installation of virtualenv is different with pip3 installed virtualenv
so when you try to create a virtual environment using pipenv for example installing django in a directory home/user/djano with pipenv install django~=3.1.5 you will get that error
the solution is remove installed virtualenv using pip3 uninstall virtualenv and use the default installation of virtualenv this time when you create virtual environment with pipenv it will create it successfully.
I want to have virtualenvwrapper. On Debian 10 testing I did:
apt remove python3-virtualenvwrapper # not purge, I want no changes in ~/.virtualenvs/
apt purge python3-virtualenv
/usr/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --force-reinstall virtualenvwrapper
/usr/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --force-reinstall virtualenv==20.0.23
.24 no longer works. I hope it will be solved sometimes...
EDIT 2021.01: I have changed my stack to: pyenv + pyenv-virtualenvwrapper + poetry. Ie. I use no apt or pip installation of virtualenv or virtualenvwrapper, and instead I install pyenv's plugin pyenv-virtualenvwrapper. This is easier way.
If someone encounters this problem inside existing env (when for example using pyenv) you can also use command below (found on GitHub when tried to fix poetry virtual env installation):
pip install --force-reinstall virtualenv
When I installed virtualenv via pip3, it failed to run virtualenv command. Then I changed the installation via:
sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
The virtualenv command can normally work.
I too had this issue. What I found is it is a permissions issue. For some unknown reason ownership of my home directory was off. I did a chown -R for the directory I was using for my project making myself the owner of my own directory and now everything works as normal.
I also had same issue, seems installed version has different user level so I followed their doc and below one work for me:
python3 -m virtualenv --help
To create new environment:
python3 -m virtualenv my_env
I also faced the same issue but after removing virtualenv which was installed with pip3, I could get rid of this error. Uninstall virtualenv with below command (don't forget to use sudo)
sudo pip3 uninstall virtualenv
After this, virtualenv command works totally fine.
It means that there are two virtualenv in your system.
One is "pip install" by sudo or root, the other may be installed by apt(if you are using ubuntu os)
Just uninstall one of them and the error should be fixed.
I fixed this error by removing all virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper related packages on system and reinstall the virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper with pip with below command(as i use ubuntu, so below only show apt)
remove all packages shown in below result
apt list --installed | grep virtualenvwrapper
apt list --installed | grep virtualenvwrapper
install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper with pip
pip install virtualenvwrapper virtualenvwrapper
set ~/.zshrc
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/amd
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT=/home/robot/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=$(which python3)
source /home/robot/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
When we use pip3 or python3 to install virtualenv then I got that error too. I had to run each time to create virtualenv (my_env is virtual environment name)
python3 -m virtualenv my_env
But if I install it using
sudo apt install virtualenv
Then virtualenv command works fine.
virtualenv my_env

virtualenv pip can't install packages

I'm having trouble installing packages using virtualenv with python. I do the following:
sudo virtualenv venv
cd venv/bin
source activate
pip install nose
I get the following error:
unable to execute /Users/../venv/bin/pip: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong here?
run:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ./pip install virtualenv
which virtualenv
This should point to /usr/local/bin/virtualenv
which pip
This should point to /usr/local/bin/pip
virtualenv /Users/yourname/path/to/env/envname

No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip'

I had pip installed earlier on my OSX, but its not working somehow. So, i was trying to install pip again, using the command :
sudo easy_install pip
But it gives me the error as below :
pip 9.0.1 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
Installing pip script to /usr/local/bin
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip'
I am neither able to use pip, nor install it.
Just run:
$ hash -r
in bash and it will be solved.
In my case, I had to upgrade pip from 22.1.2 to 22.2.1:
pip3 install --upgrade pip
I solved it by removing the pip file in /usr/local/bin and reinstalling pip.
My solution to the "No such file or directory" error was to add to $PATH the directory, where the 'pip' (and 'pip3') commands are installed. In your case such directory might be '/usr/local/bin/pip'.
Find your pip binary using this:
which pip or which pip3.7
then copy to below path:
sudo cp /home/LOGGED_USER/.local/bin/pip3.7 /usr/bin/pip3.7
In my case I was using python3 pip but the working command was pip3

Ubuntu says virtualenv is not installed but pip says it is

I am trying to create another virtual environment (I already installed one using the typical instructions found here: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) so I run:
$ virtualenv experimental
-> The program 'virtualenv' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install virtualenv
I checked to see if perhaps the program needed to be updated:
$ pip install virtualenv --upgrade
-> Requirement already up-to-date: virtualenv in /home/uniside/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Any ideas about what is going on here?
Use sudo. Currently it's being install in your local directory.
sudo pip install virtualenv
The answer by #khrm didn't worked for me.
I was able to do this with :
sudo apt install virtualenv
I had problems activating my virtualenv projects with Ubuntu's system version, so I just use pip's virtualenv. Works with python2 as well:
$ pip3 install virtualenv
Just call virutalenv via python3 -m:
$ python3 -m virtualenv --help
Usage: virtualenv.py [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR

Upgrade pip in Amazon Linux

I wanted to deploy my Python app on Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09.1, which has Python2.7 (default) and pip (6.1.1). Then, I upgraded the pip using the command:
sudo pip install -U pip
However, it seemed broken, and showed the message when I tried to install packages:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==6.1.1
I found out that pip remove the previous files located in /usr/bin/, and installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. Thus, I tried to specify the location by using the command:
sudo pip install -U --install-option="--prefix='/usr/bin'" pip
Nevertheless, it still installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. In addition to that, pip could not work well with sudo although it successfully installed. The error message :
sudo: pip2.7: command not found
Is there a way to properly manage pip?
Try:
sudo which pip
This may reveal something like 'no pip in ($PATH)'.
If that is the case, you can then do:
which pip
Which will give you a path like /usr/local/bin/pip.
Copy + paste the path to pip to the sbin folder by running: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/sbin/
This will allow you to run sudo pip without any errors.
Struggled with this for a while. Here's what I've found:
ec2_user finds the pip executable, but has a module import error due to other having no read/execute permissions on the pip folders in the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages folder. This is actually okay, since in most cases, pip installs fail when not run as root anyway.
sudo cannot find pip.
Entering root with sudo su - allows pip to be run without issue.
The reason sudo pip stops working after the upgrade, is because the executable (or symbolic link) is removed from /usr/bin. However, what remains is a file called pip-27, which contains the following:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'pip==6.1.1','console_scripts','pip2.7'
__requires__ = 'pip==6.1.1'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('pip==6.1.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip2.7')()
)
So, that's where our error comes from, as the upgrade clearly doesn't clean this file up. Not entirely clear on where the name translation from pip to pip-2.7 occurs.
As mentioned in another answer, pip now exists in /usr/local/bin after the upgrade, which is no longer in the sudo secure path. You can add this path to the secure_path variable by running sudo visudo. Another alternative, if you'd prefer to not add that path to your secure_path is to make a symbolic link to the new pip executable in /usr/bin.
The problem is partly answered by your question. The Amazon AMI doesn't consider /usr/local/bin to be part of the root account's PATH. You can fix this by updating the root account's ~/.bashrc to include it.
Something like this...
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
After struggling with this for hours and reading comments
which pip gave /usr/bin/pip , but the actual pip was located at /usr/local/bin/pip due to pip upgrade and clean up was not complete
So removing the pip in /usr/bin/
sudo rm /usr/bin/pip
and also adding the new pip to your export path
vim ~/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin
exit terminal, and login back
which pip should give /usr/local/bin/pip
pip install --upgrade pip
This works for me
sudo /usr/local/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
To add to angelokh
sudo `which pip` install --upgrade pip
I think the best strategy in this case is to manage pip is as part of a virtual environment using virtualenv rather than messing with the system-level version.
If you're OK with that, here's the basic idea:
Install the version of virtualenv packaged with the version of pip you are looking to upgrade to to the system-level pip (e.g. virtualenv==15.1.0 comes with pip==9.0.1):
$ sudo pip install -U virtualenv==15.1.0
You are using pip version 6.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Collecting virtualenv==15.1.0
Downloading virtualenv-15.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.8MB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 1.8MB 135kB/s
Installing collected packages: virtualenv
Found existing installation: virtualenv 12.0.7
Uninstalling virtualenv-12.0.7:
Successfully uninstalled virtualenv-12.0.7
Successfully installed virtualenv-15.1.0
I used the virtualenv release notes to find out which version of pip corresponds to which version of virtualenv.
Create the virtual environment:
$ virtualenv myenv
New python executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python2.7
Also creating executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
Activate the virtual environment and confirm the version and location of the upgraded pip:
$ source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /home/ec2-user/myenv/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
(myenv) $ which pip
~/myenv/bin/pip
This should allow you to install packages to this virtualenv using the pip version of your choice, without the need for sudo.
I think you've didn't installed the pythonXX-pip package.
I've upgraded mine straight to Python3.4, these commands works for me.
sudo su
yum install python34
yum install python34-pip
