ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4' Atom MacOS

Question

I am currently using Atom on Mac, and I get ModuleNotFoundError : No module named 'bs4' when I execute my program.

I have tried the following solutions, but it did not fix the problem:

• Used a virtual environment using venv

  python3 -m venv projectname source projectname/bin/activate pip install bs4

• Installed bs4 using different names:

   pip install bs4 pip install beautifulsoup4 pip install BeautifulSoup4

All of which gives me the message, "Requirement already satisfied"

• Deleting and reinstalling bs4

• Setting the Atom Python to 'python3' under Atom config > packages > script > lib > grammars > python.coffee

I referenced multiple StackOverflow solutions similar to my question, but I was unable to solve the issue. Could there be something wrong about python on my laptop, or the setting in Atom?

If so, may I know what specific steps I will have to take? Thank you in advance.

My Setup:

Atom 1.55.0

Python 3.7.6

MacOSCatalina 10.15.5

Since you're using python3 -m venv , you can equivalently use python3 -m pip install

Otherwise, it appears you're PATH has pip binary pointing at some other Python, and maybe you should try pip3
