System: Windows 10, Anaconda, Python 3, Spyder3 Problem: Running programs that import requests, pyperclip, bs4 and/or other modules from 3rd party packages works fine within Spyder IDE, but not from command line, or Win/R. The error message indicates no such module. Therefore, my programs crash at the import statement. In contrast, programs using built in modules work fine everywhere. Questions: Which file needs to be found? Is this a path problem?
Efforts to solve problem: After making sure I had correctly typed the module names, my second guess was that it is a path problem, so I used win explorer to locate the module files. I also went to the command line and used "pip show modname". The search using win explorer revealed module files in multiple directories, so part of the problem may be that I don't know which file the import statement needs to be able to find. Based on results using pip show modname, the modules were installed in: Anaconda3\lib\site-packages. In fact, as shown in Win Explorer, they are in sub folders under \site-packages, and there are 'regular' py files as well as compiled files. (I'm a beginner, and thought Python was interpreted?) I changed my system path variable to include: C:\Users\rba21\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages # Result: same error message C:\Users\rba21\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pyperclip # Result: same error message I tried adding the sub folders down to __pycache__ but got the same error message. I did some web searches, but didn't find anything that enabled me to fix the problem. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
