pip says modules are there, but Python 3 program cannot find them-CodePudding

I have some old code I'm trying to use which uses httplib2 Python lib. The same exact code works fine on Linux (e.g. Raspberry Pi).

I have used pip to uninstall the httplib2 lib and pip3 to re-install.

Here's what "pip list" (or "pip3 list") shows:

This is the import section at the beginning. The only library that is complained about is httlib2.

CodePudding user response：

pip and pip3 are not the same.

pip will use one of your Python versions depending on what exactly is first in the system PATH variable, whereas with pip3 you can be sure that the module will be installed in python3 library.

So, could you double check if the module is actually installed in the python3 library ?

If the module really is installed in python3 library, you could check if the PATH variable is correct. (You can check the PATH by using the following : Reference)

CodePudding user response：

The httplib2 library is part of the standard library in Python 3.

import httplib ImportError: No module named httplib

is it installed on version 2.x?

pip2 install httplib2
