ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4' [sublime text 3]

Question

Basically I am trying to run some simple code in sublime text 3 but when I try to run it it gives me the following error:

  File "/Users/ingodavila/Desktop/My Programming/scrape.py", line 1, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

I have tried installing it with pip3 and easy_install but it does not work. Whenever I try installing it it in terminal it keeps showing:

Requirement already satisfied: bs4 in ./opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (0.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in ./opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from bs4) (4.9.1)
Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2 in ./opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from beautifulsoup4->bs4)

I tried running it in a jupyter notebook and it works but for sublime it keeps showing that 'nomodulefound' error. What can I do to solve this?

Answer 1

Are you running the code inside a virtual environment?

If you are, try this method:

1. activate the env
2. install the module (inside the virtualenv)
3. run the code.

If the above doesn't work, try:

conda install bs4

Answer 2

It is probably because your Sublime text interpreter is different than your global one. I would recommend you using virtual environment instead of just installing modules globally. Check this one out on how to create venv . Once you set up your virtualenv and active it, you can just install packages and use them without any problem.
