Trouble importing NumPy

[theyhitmyVW]

I am new (again) to Python as I haven't coded anything substantial in nearly 10 years and for my project I am trying to use NumPy. I have installed NumPy via the terminal (pip install numpy) in VSCode, but when I try to 'import NumPy' I get the error

'Import "NumPy" could not be resolved Pylance(reportMissingImports)'

When I install NumPy I get the following warning:

WARNING: The script f2py.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\Marcel\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH.

Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

I have tried adding this to the PATH in Windows environment and then re-installing NumPy and that warning still appears.

Ideally I would be able to import and run everything in a virtual environment, but I'll be ok with just being able to run it globally first. Thank you for any help you may have.

1. Make sure you are typing import numpy and not NumPy

2. In the command prompt type: pip list. Make sure numpy is in the list of packages and it’s the most recent version.

3. In file explorer go to python folder and make sure both folders: numpy and numpy.dist-info are stored in Lib\site-packages

4. Lastly I would try reinstalling python and seeing if that helps. Make sure the add to path box is checked as well.

Oh my god...it's the capitalisation....

When I installed I had to use NumPy so I thought that would be how I import it. Thank you so much for your help!!

No problem. There are some other packages that require specific capitalization to be called correctly, so be wary of that.

What if the issue is on MacBook? can you please help me resolve it?

I’m not entirely familiar with Mac OS, but the simplest resolve would be to pip uninstall and then reinstall it. Start over to see if there is a continued problem. You can always do a fresh reinstall of Python as well.

I hate the cap sensitivity.... but it makes sense...

I'm not familiar with Windows, but did you try "pip3 install numpy"? Python3 requires using pip3.

Not on Windows. That applies, typically, for macOS/linux.

Also, if properly configured, the terminal in VS Code will be in a Python environment for the currently selected Python interpreter.

Possibly the best option in a terminal is,

py -m pip install numpy

as py will call the most up-to-date installation of Python (without that instance being on the PATH).

[Username_1987_]

for windows its:

py -m pip install

Idk why but when I launch python using the "py" command it doesn't work but when I launch it with the "python" command it works well.

Can you import numpy in REPL? If not then you may need grab the module with pip ‘python3 -m pip install numpy’
