ModuleNotFoundError, but it runs in anaconda (jupyter)

I've installed a module named rauth through terminal with pip3 install rauth command but when I import the module and run the code on Visual Studio Code with python3 interpreter, it gives ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rauth' error. But it is indeed installed and I can use it in Anaconda. The package file is stored here.
/Users/puffedricecracker/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rauth
And it seems like all my pip installed packages are stored in that path, but those are imported outside Anaconda with no problem. Tried several other commands as google search suggested.
• pip install instead of pip3 install
• python -m pip install
• python3 -m pip install
Let me know if there is any other information needed to be specified.

this is due to the module is installed into site-packages in Anaconda but not Visual Studio. Can you check if the module exists in Visual Studio folder? Another way to test it is to open Python IDLE and run the import, it should also return an error.

I don't know if this could be an universal solution but there was a way to set where to install a package using pip.
In python shell, find where your python modules usually go. It seemed like most of pip installed packages were installed in the second path so I chose that.
>>> import re
>>> print(re.__file__)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/re.py
>>> import sqlalchemy
>>> print(sqlalchemy.__file__)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlalchemy/__init__.py
Uninstall the package using pip uninstall packagename
Reinstall with a path name.
pip install packagename -t /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(In fact, just copy pasting package files (in my case, they were rauth, rauth-0.7.3.dist-info) from anaconda package path in the post worked.)

How to modify package before installing it with pip

Trying to install a package on Windows fails, as it requires a site.cfg file to contain the path of a library.
It looks like pip extracts packages to c:\users\[username]\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-[random string]\ during installation and deletes after installation (successful or not), so I can't "hot-edit" it.
Can I make pip wait for me before installing?
Can I make pip download and unpack the package and afterwards tell it to install a package from a directory rather than a package name or URL?
Feel free to comment alternative solutions for installing scikits.audiolab on Windows (demands sndfile to be defined in site.cfg).

Does not work on wheels (see #hoefling comment)
Download package from url (pip tells you the url when you do pip install <package_name>)
Untar the file and do your modifications
Then do pip install <path_of_package>

Anaconda software can't find packages installed with pip on Windows

On Windows, open up Anaconda Prompt and type in the following:
pip install json2xml
No complaints from pip for doing this (replace json2xml with your favorite package, I guess). Then, open up Jupyter QTConsole, and try:
import json2xml
The result is an ImportError: No module named 'json2xml'. The package installed (after checking pip list), but nothing recognizes it. There is no system pip (this is Windows, after all); only Anaconda's pip is being used.
What's going on?

I hope this will help, it worked for me.
When you use pip to install a package, by default it will go to your python site-packages.
i. e.
C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages
From here, you can copy the downloaded packages, then navigate and paste them into your Anaconda site-packages directory.
i. e.
C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages
That should solve the issue.

From How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory? , you can enter
python -m site
to print your python package location(s). In my case, I have Anaconda for Windows and do not have a directory C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages but did find my package installed with pip was in C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\ . This may be due to adding Anaconda to PATH.

Python 2.7.11 pip not installed

I have Python 2.7.11 installed on my machine which to my understanding should come with pip, however when I check the C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\ directory there is no pip.exe present.
I have tried completely removing and reinstalling Python 2.7.11 without success. Running the installer pip is set to be installed, but after the install pip is nowhere to be found.
I also have Python 3.4 installed which has pip as expected. Any thoughts?

I encountered the same problem - pip not installed - with python-2.7.16, Win10, installing for 'all users'. It was resolved when I allowed the MSI installer to target the default location (C:\Python27) rather than changing it to under Program Files (x86). I've no clue why this changed anything.

python2.7.11 should install pip into c:\python27\scripts, you can take a look here

I used https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ to make it install. Odd that an outside body has to make a tool to get pip to install. There is no mention of pip.pypa.io on the Python web site.
Although I got error messages, it did install, so check carefully.
You also may see a message suggesting that you upgrade to pip 9.0 with the command 'pip install --upgrade.' I highly recommend that.
Also, make sure you are in the directory where pip.exe is located when you run the commands. They don't tell you that, because they assume you know that, but we're not all geeks.

For people who are running into this issue, I have a Windows 10 x86 dev box that I use for exploit development, Python 2.7 was installed due to Immunity Debugger, this install did not include the new SSL package and did not include "pip".
There was no "C:\Python27\Scripts" folder which included pip. I did have a "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts" folder which did not have pip installed.
I tired to install pip as suggested but did not work. Best way is to uninstall Python and install newest version, currently mine is 2.7.15 which came with pip as an option. This is what solved my issue, any older version of Python will need upgraded to support the SSL packages. You will receive the same errors when you try to install pip on an older version.
If you have reinstalled Python which included the SSL package and it still does not have pip, trying installing pip this way:
1. curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
2. python get-pip.py
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
This should work if you have a newer version of Python.
Once you have installed pip or newer version of python, go to "C:\Python27\Scripts" and you should see pip.exe.

I have installed "python-2.7.16" in my windows 10 PC. PIP is installed under "C:\Python27\Scripts". One can add the "C:\Python27\Scripts" path to environment variable and then access pip command from command prompt.
To add the path in environment variable:
Control Panel\System and Security\System --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced --> enviroment variables --> under system variable --> Path(variable name)

Had the issue where no matter which version of python 2.7 I installed on windows 10 there was no pip.exe generated in the "Scripts" folder.
I solved it by ensuring that that MSI Installer file had Admin privileges before installing

if pip is not installed you can use easy_install.exe to install pip and other modules
you can find easy install in
python -m easy_install pip

I had the same issue:
Installed Python 27
Tried to use pip, but failed with unrecognized command error
Checked installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts", only "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts"
This issue happens only on some versions of Windows.
HOW TO FIX IT:
Uninstall Python 27
Reinstall Python 27, but unselect "pip" feature
Check installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts" as expected
Start the installer again and use "Change Python"
Set "pip" and "Add Python.exe to Path" features to be installed
Check installation: "C:\Python27\Scripts" is now correctly present
So for some unknown reason, pip is not correctly installed on some versions of Windows if it is installed during default Python 27 setup. To fix this issue, pip must be installed afterwards using the "Change Python" setup.

I meet the same issue when install Python 2.7.9. The installer does not come with pip.
Solution:
Install newer python2 x86 version: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/
Then pip is located at C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe

It happens on windows as you should have admin rights to install anything on disk C.
I have the same issue Scripts folder was not installed. I would sugest to instal it on disk D.

How to install a module on python (windows 7)

I've installed python 3.4 on win7. I need faker module to be installed to run the script.
error:
from faker import Factory
ImportError: No module named 'faker'.
I've downloaded few zip's with faker, but unfortunately have no idea how to install it.
Please give simple instructions, how to make it work.(on windows)

Since you have downloaded the zip source from https://github.com/joke2k/faker according to your comments , you can also do the following after changing to the directory where you have setup.py -
python setup.py install
According to the github page itself, to install using pip do -
pip install fake-factory

Use the Python package tool pip.
Open a command prompt and do
pip install fake-factory
or
python -m pip install fake-factory
See the documentation for more information.
