On running script >> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

[Caruso33]

Output of Bash:

Installing collected packages: selenium
Successfully installed selenium-3.8.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "audible-activator-feature_login_as_arg/audible-activator.py", line 8, in <module>
    from selenium import webdriver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

Any suggestions why the import from selenium no longer works?

[paladini]

I'll try to check that for you as soon as possible, but can you describe what's your environment?

[Caruso33]

I've just set up a new Ubuntu 17.10 environment. The error remains.

[Trophonix]

Same issue here on Manjaro (Arch based)

[dagmarkrefting]

I had also some issues with the installation (Ubuntu 16.04), getting the same error, however due to another issue;

sudo: pip: command not found
sudo: pip: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "audible-activator-feature_login_as_arg/audible-activator.py", line 8, in <module>
    from selenium import webdriver
ImportError: No module named selenium

This could be solved by installation of python-setuptools and python easy_install pip. But I also had to reinstall aax2mp3-easy to make in work properly. So if selenium and chromium runs otherwise for you, a reinstall of the tool may help.

[paladini]

Hey guys, try to install Selenium running one of the following commands:

pip install selenium

or

sudo pip install selenium

Can you tell me the output for AAX2MP3-easy after running one of these commands?

[nikoroxy]

audible-activator.py works well, it stops to work when runned from aax2mp3

EDIT: ./aax2mp3_easy.sh <user> <pass> <file> first run output tail is:

[Trophonix]

I attempted to use this on my Macbook and got the same result as @nikoroxy

[birawaich]

So I had the same issue as you guys. (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

As @dagmarkrefting suggested I installed python-setuptools and python easy_install pip. After that I could install, as @paladini wrote, Selenium. This still gave the the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "audible-activator-feature_login_as_arg/audible-activator.py", line 148, in <module>

After that I tried it step by step with audible-activator.py and AAXtoMP3 (which were automatically installed) according to code.opoki.com/.... Got a similar error in the first step. Then I realized that it was simply looking for Chrome.

[Solution] I installed Chrome and it worked.

Not only did it work in the manual 2 step variant but also this scripted worked :) I hope this will solve your problems too. Maye just adding a part where it checks if Chrome is installed?

Thank you for this awesome script :D

[hexdream]

Hi Guys,

You need to specify the version of pip as it is wanting to install python3 version by default:

pip2 install selenium

or in my case to avoid error messages running sudo:

sudo -H pip2 install selenium

I believe this will resolve the issue.

[cargocultprogramming]

@hexdream 's solution worked for me.

However, the script exits after opening chrome with ERROR Missing authcode.

got same problem on my head !

[paladini]

Hey guys, just to tell you that I'm going to check with the developer from Selenium about that issue. Seems to be something related to the lib.

[shyamkumar0707]

I use MAC and I have selenium working fine with python 3.7 from pycharm, but when I run the same python code from local Jenkins / slack (bot/snippet run) it gives me the same error as you guys are discussing, some help here is appreciated please, thank you.

"Import Error : No module named selenium"

[iBocchese]

Hi Guys,

little premise: unfortunately for me, I am not a CS student. But I am learning on my own and luckily Github and Stackflow communities are very helpful. Thus, I would like to say that I have already tried almost all the online suggestions I have found to solve previusly my issue (such as easy_install / sudo pip install / pip install...)

yet, this error message is still shown:

Any suggestions ? ;) thank you !!

[vivienzou1]

same here on mac, python 3.7 selenium 3.141.0 I can run at the very first time after successfully install selenium, but fail on it a day after with error " from selenium import webdriver ImportError: No module named selenium" any idea? many thanks

[Ilya88Weber]

i already installed selenium and pip and pip2 and pip3 but nothing can be imported.

[timo-x30xe]

I got the same problem. im new to programming and i read a lot about that error now and ive done everything i could. It says its already installed but it wont let me import webdrivers from slenium. C:\Users\timok\PycharmProjects\FirstSeleniumTest>pip install selenium Requirement already satisfied: selenium in c:\users\timok\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages (3.141.0) Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in c:\users\timok\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages (from selenium) (1.24.1)

Hope i get help here

[superpigsam]

Same problem, but on VS code. Solution found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1130323/importerror-no-module-named-selenium?rq=1

Open a command prompt and type "python3". When you get the python prompt, type "import Selenium" and see what error (if any) you get. It sounds like VS is running a separate python environment.

Seems we need to check the version if the python interpreter selected is of the same environment as the python with selenium installed.

[wenyiyan]

Please try specify the python directory:

The code works for me (Execute shell) command: /Users/Username/anaconda2/bin/python text.py

(My environment: Jenkins in local mac, py code in local )

[pfabreu]

Using python2 worked for me, install pip2 (i.e sudo apt install python-pip), then pip2 install selenium and pip2 install requests (you need this one too). Also, install chrome lol.

[tanel3203]

Heh, the above, @pedro-abreu -s actually worked. did pip install selenium on py2, still ImportError. Using pip2 explicitly fixed it.

[eduamf]

I solved it going to "base" environment and installing selenium there too (I was trying to uso on "pytorch1" environment): conda activate base conda install -c conda-forge selenium

After turn back to "pytorch1", ... conda activate pytorch1

Every thing ok. Don't ask me why. :-)

[parisimaa]

well... this is crazy I have the same issue with selenium package a few days ago it worked properly (I don't know how) but I was running the program today and the error comes up again and I tried several things but still have a problem

[gitwiserabbit]

To fix this problem - you need (Example is for windows, do the same for your system accordingly): 1) Go to the subdirectory \Lib\site-packages\ of the installed Python environment directory (for example, if Python was installed on the C: drive in the Python directory, then go to c:\Python\Lib\site-packages) 2) Find the [selenium] catalog in it. If there is no [selenium] but exists, for example, [selenium-3.141.0.dist-info], you need to delete all directories containing "selenium" 3) Run the console (Win + R-> cmd.exe-> Enter) Run the selenium installation command again: pip install selenium 4) Make sure the [selenium] directory appears in \Lib\site-packages\

Someone help me?

[fcazalladev]

Hello everyone!

1.- Be sure selenium is installed 2.- Add a step inside your script to print the Python route: "which Python" or "which Python3" 3.- See the which command returned in the jenkins console. 4.- Check if this is the path you expect. If not, you can specify the full path to Python in your script. (The path returned from "which" command) i.e.: "/Users/your-username/.pyenv/shims/python3 pythonfile.py"

Hope it is useful!
