尝试使用Selenium 2与Python绑定，但我收到导入错误

Question

I just installed Selenium 2 by doing pip install selenium and just copied some example tests to make sure that it's working:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.send_keys("selenium")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "Google" in driver.title
driver.close()

I saved that as test.py in a sub-folder in my Home folder on my Mac, but when ever I run python test.py , I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 1, in <module>
    from selenium import webdriver
ImportError: cannot import name webdriver

If I move that file into my Home directory, it works. If you couldn't tell, I'm just getting started with Selenium and programming. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

It sounds like you have some other module in your path named "selenium", and python is trying to import that one because it comes earlier in your python path. Did you name your file "selenium.py", for example?

To debug, import selenium with a simple import selenium then print the name of the file that was imported with print selenium.__file__

If you have a file named "selenium.py" which is not the proper selenium library, in addition to renaming or removing it, make sure you also delete "selenium.pyc", or python will continue to try to import from the .pyc file.

Answer 2

Old question, but I did the same thing too. Named my file 'selenium.py' and it gave this very error message. Renamed the file to something else, but still got the same error. The problem was, that the selenium.pyc file had been created, since I ran the script from the terminal. Removed the .pyc file and it ran like a charm!

Answer 3

Though the question seems to be inactive quite a long time, I had the same message/similar problem, and none of the answers above fit.

The site http://kevingann.blogspot.de/2012/11/troubleshooting-pydev-and-selenium.html gave the crucial hint.

Selenium occured twice, once in the system libs as egg, and the "installed" version in the external libs. Smashing the egg did the trick.

Hope this will help someone too

Answer 4

错误ImportError: cannot import name webdriver or no module selenium2library通过将selenium文件夹直接放在Lib而不是site_packages下site_packages

Answer 5

Error in Pycharm "Cannot find reference 'Chrome' in 'imported module selenium.webdriver'" got resolved after copying selenium dir from site-packages to lib. Can be verified as stated above

import selenium
print (selenium.__file__)

Answer 6

Sethe project interpreter as actual python.exe

I am able to run successfully the code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

opts = Options()
prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2}  
opts.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)


# enter complete path of chrome driver as argument to below line of code 
browser = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\BLR153\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe')
# browser = webdriver.Firefox()

browser.get('http://www.google.com')

time.sleep(10)

browser.quit()

Answer 7

1. Make sure that you have only one python version installed
2. Install pip
3. Install selenium using pip
   pip install selenium
4. Run the script

Hope that helps.
