I am a newbie for selenium python. I have installed python, pip etc..
I am trying to run the below code but it is showing error:
ImportError: cannot import name ‘webdriver’
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
could anyone please solve this issue?

If your file name is selenium.py, change it to something else and delete .pyc files or the __pycache__ directory if exists.
If you do not have the selenium, you should install the selenium by using pip or pipenv:
pip install selenium

It says that webdriver cant be import.So I assume you have Selenium installed.
So I can only assume that the selenium lied in different place in your path.
Maybe you have accidently create a file named selenium ?

- if your file is selenium.py rename it.
- Pay attention to have import Keys instead of import keys

Step 1: First rename filename if saved with selenium.py and delete selenium.pyc.
mv selenium.py test.py
rm selenium.pyc
Step 2: import module selenium if not already installed.
pip install selenium

I solved it by reinstalling the older version of selenium package because the newest version doesn’t support Python 2.6.6 which in my case was installed and I didn’t have root access to install the new one.
While the newest version of selenium package doesn’t have support for Python 2.6.6, I had to downgrade by reinstalling the selenium package with lower version
pip uninstall selenium
pip install --user selenium==3.5.0

Deepa, it is likely a ‘path not found’ issue. Add as many paths as relevant to help the IDE find selenium and webdriver. For example, on my Mac, I’ve added all the following paths so nothing is missed :
file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5 file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/plat-darwin file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium-3.0.0b2/py file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium-3.0.0b2/py/selenium file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium-3.0.0b2/py/selenium/common file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium-3.0.0b2/py/selenium/webdriver

I am having issues with the selenium package. I have installed selenium by pip install and ran some code messing with browser. Everything was working and good until I kept getting an error (see below). Couldn’t figure out a fix so I uninstalled selenium reinstalled still had an issue, uninstalled python and deleted its program files and reinstalled same issue. So I reset my pc back to factory settings and reinstalled everything. Was running with no problems… for a couple hours then went back to the same error. No program installs were done nothing was changed it just stopped working. Also below I have the beginning of my code. Any help is greatly appreciated.

element = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("h1.v-fw-regular").text
print(element)
The error I am receiving:

Obviously no updates on both attempts
I am trying to execute some python project and I am getting following error:-
File "feed.py", line 17, in <module>
from selenium import webdriver
ImportError: No module named selenium
I installed selenium package by using pip command for both python2 and python3. If I run python on terminal, I don’t get this error if I try to import selenium.
But project I am executing using venv. I am unable to figure out from where it is trying to look for selenium package.
When I execute python2.7/python/python on terminal and run
from selenium import webdriver, I don’t see any import errors. But the project when I execute is giving me error. I am unable to locate the path which is being looked up for selenium. How can I find it?

You may like to create a virtual environment for Selenium, which is okay, so, do as mentioned earlier. But I think the following is needed to install Selenium with Python on Ubuntu.
Since you are on Python2, so install Selenium like this:
sudo apt-get install python-selenium # for Python2
And, if you want to move to Python3, then replace python-selenium with python3-selenium in the above command. Also, do remember to download Geckodriver for Firefox to further work with Selenium.
wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.20.1/geckodriver-v0.20.1-linux64.tar.gz
You would then need to extract the Geckodriver to a folder such as ~/.local/bin for setting it on your execution PATH.
answered Nov 3, 2019 at 5:37
First activate the virtual environment:
$ source venv/bin/activate
… tthen your terminal will look like this:
(venv)$
Then install selenium:
(venv) $ pip install selenium
Then you will have selenium installed inside the venv.
The next time when you open a new terminal, just activate the venv and run your code.

Instead of importing webdriver you can import your preferred browser from selenium.webdriver; in my case import Firefox:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
