NameError: 名称 'json' 未定义

Question

Trying to import Json, my command is pip install json . I'm working on windows 8.1

The error i'm getting in command prompt is

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirements json <from versions:>

No matching distribution found for json .

and the error i'm getting on pycharm is

NameError: name 'json' is not defined

I tried importing numpy and it worked just fine . I also did check Pip "Could not find a that satisfies the requirement" and Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement <package>

Edit : Referred also to this link Python 3.5.1 : NameError: name 'json' is not defined and getting an error that sudo is not recognized

Answer 1

If it's not defined in your code, you need to import it. This is exactly the same as any name in Python; you can't use something until you have defined it.

import json

Answer 2

Use the command as simplejson instead of json like below,

pip install simplejson

If the above command also throwing an error Use the following command

easy_install simplejson

easy_install works sometimes if pip cannot serve the request.

Answer 3

I have also encountered a similar issue, pip failing to install json and math modules (using python 3.x). Finally, I discovered that some modules you simply do not have to install - they are already BUILT-IN. :) Of course, you still have to add "import json" at the top of your .py file. Hope this helps somebody.
