In this article, we will look into how to solve «/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip» error which I believe is a pretty common error in a freshly built Linux System where python3 packages are not installed yet. pip is a very famous python package management tool frequently used by Python Programmers and developers to manage their application packages. If you don’t have pip installed before you are trying to install any of the python modules then you will always end up with "/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip" error just like what I encountered last night. While this may not be the only reason to have this error but this is the common most reason for lot of folks !!

So when I was trying to install a package using pip, I encountered below error in my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS System. You might be getting the same error in different Linux version.

root@cyberithub:~# python3 -m pip install --user pipenv
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip

While this error can come due to multiple reasons but in most of the cases you will see this error because of pip package not installed in your System. So to solve this kind of error, you need to simply install pip package from the default Repo. For example, in my case I have used apt-get install python3-pip command to install this package in my System. More about PIP.

If you are using RHEL/CentOS 7 based Systems, then all you need to do in to enable the EPEL Repo and then install the package by using yum install python3-pip command. For RHEL/CentOS 8 based Systems, you can use dnf install python3-pip command.

yum install python3-pip 
dnf install python3-pip

After successful installation, you can verify the package version by using pip --version command as shown below.

root@cyberithub:~# pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

After installing the package I again tried to run the earlier command then this time I noticed that the command worked successfully and now it is not throwing "/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip" error as shown below. Hope this helps !!

Quick Fix: Python raises the ImportError: No module named 'pip' when it cannot find the library pip. The most frequent source of this error is that you haven’t installed pip explicitly with pip install pip. Alternatively, you may have different Python versions on your computer, and pip is not installed for the particular version you’re using.

Problem Formulation

You’ve just learned about the awesome capabilities of the pip library and you want to try it out, so you start your code with the following statement:

import pip

This is supposed to import the Pandas library into your (virtual) environment. However, it only throws the following ImportError: No module named pip:

>>> import pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
    import pip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Solution Idea 1: Install Library pip

The most likely reason is that Python doesn’t provide pip in its standard library. You need to install it first!

Before being able to import the Pandas module, you need to install it using Python’s package manager pip. Make sure pip is installed on your machine.

To fix this error, you can run the following command in your Windows shell:

$ pip install pip

This simple command installs pip in your virtual environment on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. It assumes that your pip version is updated. If it isn’t, use the following two commands in your terminal, command line, or shell (there’s no harm in doing it anyways):

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install pandas

💡 Note: Don’t copy and paste the $ symbol. This is just to illustrate that you run it in your shell/terminal/command line.

Solution Idea 2: Fix the Path

The error might persist even after you have installed the pip library. This likely happens because pip is installed but doesn’t reside in the path you can use. Although pip may be installed on your system the script is unable to locate it. Therefore, it is unable to install the library using pip in the correct path.

To fix the problem with the path in Windows follow the steps given next.

Step 1: Open the folder where you installed Python by opening the command prompt and typing where python

Step 2: Once you have opened the Python folder, browse and open the Scripts folder and copy its location. Also verify that the folder contains the pip file.

Step 3: Now open the Scripts directory in the command prompt using the cd command and the location that you copied previously.

Step 4: Now install the library using pip install pip command. Here’s an analogous example:

After having followed the above steps, execute our script once again. And you should get the desired output.

Other Solution Ideas

• The ModuleNotFoundError may appear due to relative imports. You can learn everything about relative imports and how to create your own module in this article.
• You may have mixed up Python and pip versions on your machine. In this case, to install pip for Python 3, you may want to try python3 -m pip install pip or even pip3 install pip instead of pip install pip
• If you face this issue server-side, you may want to try the command pip install --user pip
• If you’re using Ubuntu, you may want to try this command: sudo apt install pip
• You can check out our in-depth guide on installing pip here.
• You can also check out this article to learn more about possible problems that may lead to an error when importing a library.

Understanding the “import” Statement

import pip

In Python, the import statement serves two main purposes:

• Search the module by its name, load it, and initialize it.
• Define a name in the local namespace within the scope of the import statement. This local name is then used to reference the accessed module throughout the code.

What’s the Difference Between ImportError and ModuleNotFoundError?

What’s the difference between ImportError and ModuleNotFoundError?

Python defines an error hierarchy, so some error classes inherit from other error classes. In our case, the ModuleNotFoundError is a subclass of the ImportError class.

You can see this in this screenshot from the docs:

You can also check this relationship using the issubclass() built-in function:

>>> issubclass(ModuleNotFoundError, ImportError)
True

Specifically, Python raises the ModuleNotFoundError if the module (e.g., pip) cannot be found. If it can be found, there may be a problem loading the module or some specific files within the module. In those cases, Python would raise an ImportError.

If an import statement cannot import a module, it raises an ImportError. This may occur because of a faulty installation or an invalid path. In Python 3.6 or newer, this will usually raise a ModuleNotFoundError.

How to Fix “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pip’” in PyCharm

If you create a new Python project in PyCharm and try to import the pip library, it’ll raise the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/.../main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Process finished with exit code 1

The reason is that each PyCharm project, per default, creates a virtual environment in which you can install custom Python modules. But the virtual environment is initially empty—even if you’ve already installed pip on your computer!

Here’s a screenshot exemplifying this for the pandas library. It’ll look similar for pip.

The fix is simple: Use the PyCharm installation tooltips to install Pandas in your virtual environment—two clicks and you’re good to go!

First, right-click on the pandas text in your editor:

Second, click “Show Context Actions” in your context menu. In the new menu that arises, click “Install Pandas” and wait for PyCharm to finish the installation.

The code will run after your installation completes successfully.

As an alternative, you can also open the Terminal tool at the bottom and type:

$ pip install pip

If this doesn’t work, you may want to set the Python interpreter to another version using the following tutorial: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/2016.1/configuring-python-interpreter-for-a-project.html

You can also manually install a new library such as pip in PyCharm using the following procedure:

• Open File > Settings > Project from the PyCharm menu.
• Select your current project.
• Click the Python Interpreter tab within your project tab.
• Click the small + symbol to add a new library to the project.
• Now type in the library to be installed, in your example Pandas, and click Install Package.
• Wait for the installation to terminate and close all popup windows.

Nerd Humor

В Python может быть несколько причин возникновения ошибки ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ...:

• Модуль Python не установлен.
• Есть конфликт в названиях пакета и модуля.
• Есть конфликт зависимости модулей Python.

Рассмотрим варианты их решения.

Модуль не установлен

В первую очередь нужно проверить, установлен ли модуль. Для использования модуля в программе его нужно установить. Например, если попробовать использовать numpy без установки с помощью pip install будет следующая ошибка:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "", line 1, in 
 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

Для установки нужного модуля используйте следующую команду:

pip install numpy
# или
pip3 install numpy

Или вот эту если используете Anaconda:

conda install numpy

Учтите, что может быть несколько экземпляров Python (или виртуальных сред) в системе. Модуль нужно устанавливать в определенный экземпляр.

Конфликт имен библиотеки и модуля

Еще одна причина ошибки No module named — конфликт в названиях пакета и модуля. Предположим, есть следующая структура проекта Python:

demo-project
 └───utils
         __init__.py
         string_utils.py
         utils.py

Если использовать следующую инструкцию импорта файла utils.py, то Python вернет ошибку ModuleNotFoundError.

>>> import utils.string_utils

Traceback (most recent call last):

   File "C:demo-projectutilsutils.py", line 1, in

     import utils.string_utils

 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils.string_utils';

 'utils' is not a package

В сообщении об ошибке сказано, что «utils is not a package». utils — это имя пакета, но это также и имя модуля. Это приводит к конфликту, когда имя модуля перекрывает имя пакета/библиотеки. Для его разрешения нужно переименовать файл utils.py.

Иногда может существовать конфликт модулей Python, который и приводит к ошибке No module named.

Следующее сообщение явно указывает, что _numpy_compat.py в библиотеке scipy пытается импортировать модуль numpy.testing.nosetester.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:demo-projectvenv
Libsite-packages
         scipy_lib_numpy_compat.py", line 10, in
     from numpy.testing.nosetester import import_nose
 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy.testing.nosetester'

Ошибка ModuleNotFoundError возникает из-за того, что модуль numpy.testing.nosetester удален из библиотеки в версии 1.18. Для решения этой проблемы нужно обновить numpy и scipy до последних версий.

pip install numpy --upgrade
pip install scipy --upgrade 

Python ругается, что не может найти нужный модуль

Ситуация: мы решили заняться бигдатой и обработать большой массив данных на Python. Чтобы было проще, мы используем уже готовые решения и находим нужный нам код в интернете, например такой:

import numpy as np
x = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
nums = np.array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
type(nums)
zeros = np.zeros((5, 4))
lin = np.linspace(1, 10, 20)

Копируем, вставляем в редактор кода и запускаем, чтобы разобраться, как что работает. Но вместо обработки данных Python выдаёт ошибку:

❌ModuleNotFoundError: No module named numpy

Странно, но этот код точно правильный: мы его взяли из блога разработчика и, по комментариям, у всех всё работает. Откуда тогда ошибка?

Что это значит: Python пытается подключить библиотеку, которую мы указали, но не может её найти у себя.

Когда встречается: когда библиотеки нет или мы неправильно написали её название.

Что делать с ошибкой ModuleNotFoundError: No module named

Самый простой способ исправить эту ошибку — установить библиотеку, которую мы хотим подключить в проект. Для установки Python-библиотек используют штатную команду pip или pip3, которая работает так: pip install <имя_библиотеки>. В нашем случае Python говорит, что он не может подключить библиотеку Numpy, поэтому пишем в командной строке такое:

pip install numpy

Это нужно написать не в командной строке Python, а в командной строке операционной системы. Тогда компьютер скачает эту библиотеку, установит, привяжет к Python и будет ругаться на строчку в коде import numpy.

Ещё бывает такое, что библиотека называется иначе, чем указано в команде pip install. Например, для работы с телеграм-ботами нужна библиотека telebot, а для её установки надо написать pip install pytelegrambotapi. Если попробовать подключить библиотеку с этим же названием, то тоже получим ошибку:

А иногда такая ошибка — это просто невнимательность: пропущенная буква в названии библиотеки или опечатка. Исправляем и работаем дальше.
