Module Not Found - Githubissues

What kind of content should the tag include?

We often get people asking about ModuleNotFoundError when they are convinced they've installed the relevant package. A common cause of that is installing the package into one environment but executing code from another.

How about a tag to explain that?

The !venv tag has some useful info, but you'd still need to explain why it's relevant to the problem in order to help.

Oh well. No support for this, it seems. I shan't waste any more time on it.

I'm reviving this, because this is indeed something we (or at least I) want!

There are quite a few things that can be happening if a user gets a ModuleNotFoundError. I think it would be great to have a tag listing the different potential issues and avenues to see which one they're impacted by.

Off the top of my head here are the ones I can think of:

used pip to install and that's pointing to a different python than they think it is
PyCharm automatic venv creation
They install with a different Python version than their editor is using
General venv creation and how to interact with them

I think we can keep this tag short and just talk about where to start investigating, it doesn't need to enumerate the actual solutions.

Thoughts?

Relevant issue on bot repo: https://github.com/python-discord/meta/issues/219

I'd be happy to see a tag PRed. Ideally there would be a page on the site to explain things in detail but that could come later.
