Python module issue - “ModuleNotFoundError” and “Requirement already satisfied”

Question

I am trying to run a simple python script using the beautifulsoup4 module.

However, when I run the.py file, I get a ModuleNotFoundError. When I try to pip3 install beautifulsoup4 I get Requirement already satisfied .

I've tried:

• uninstalling and reinstalling [with and without sudo ];
• easy_install beautifulsoup4 ;
• checking the paths with which python3 ; and
• all of the above in python2.7

Is there a simple fix for this?

Answer 1

You should use

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

check the link: https://pypi.org/project/beautifulsoup4/

Answer 2

Since you used pip3 install module run your script with python3 script.py
