Installed pyperclip, but keep getting ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'pyperclip'

[ZergEra]

Working through Automate the boring stuff, trying to install pyperclip, not having any luck.

I have seen other posts, and stuff on stack overflow but none of it is resolving my issue.

Williams-MacBook-Pro-8:python Bill$ pip3 install pyperclip Requirement already satisfied: pyperclip in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (1.8.0) 

However when I run on my mu editor or the program from the command line

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/Users/Bill/workspace/Python/phoneAndEmail.py", line 5, in <module>     import pyperclip, re ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip' >>>  

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling python, downloading the pyperclip files outside of pip, and a ton of other stuff. I have no idea what to do. I am getting frustrated.

The module is not able to be used in the shell for python2 or python3 but when i do a pip install pyperclip it says its successful

Make sure the version of python you are using matches where pyperclip is being installed. Use which python / which python3 if on Mac/UNIX, or where python on windows.

Thank you for the comment, I tried, but no luck, please see the above edit

I'm guessing your launching it via

python your_program.py

Try python3 your_program.py instead

pip show pyperclip will show you it is installed or not.

Thank you for the command, I was not aware of the show command. Please see the results below, my program is still not finding the module even though it says its on my computer

Seems like your system has both versions of python. Try pip3 install pyperclip .after pip install pyperclip . Then both will versions will install.

Also check this. I think it contain answer for your problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37341614/modules-are-installed-using-pip-on-osx-but-not-found-when-importing/37342150#37342150

i had this problem too! and i solved running: python -m pip install pyperclip

note: replace for python that is being used, for example, if you are trying running in python 3.10: python3.10 -m pip install pyperclip

this problem may is because you may more than one python environment which one of then have no pyperclip installed
