How to get selenium working in VSCode python-CodePudding

Trying to work through tutorial that works in Python using Selenium.

Tried this:

import selenium

Didn't work. Tried to install again:

pip install selenium

The import still doesn't work. Why? What do I do to get this statement to work?

CodePudding user response：

I got mine to work this way:

Make sure that you are using the correct version of Python in VSCode. Selenium is compatible with Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9.

Check that the selenium package is installed in the correct location. You can use the following command to check the location of the selenium package:

pip show selenium

Suppose the selenium package is installed in a different location than the one specified in your VSCode project's Python interpreter. In that case, you may need to update your project's Python interpreter to point to the correct location.

If you still have issues, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the selenium package using pip. To uninstall the package, use the following command:

pip uninstall selenium and then running pip install selenium again
