🔒 Trying to install from requirements.txt error: Module not found

[warm folio]

Hello! I have set up a virtual environment and installed the torch module in the virtual environment, ensured it using pip list and import torch. Next when I try to install modules from a requirements.txt inside a folder(while running under the same virtual environment), it keeps telling me that the module torch is not found:

          return self._get_build_requires(config_settings, requirements=['wheel'])
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        File "C:\Users\jakob\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-5dayfvhi\overlay\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\build_meta.py", line 295, in _get_build_requires
          self.run_setup()
        File "C:\Users\jakob\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-5dayfvhi\overlay\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\build_meta.py", line 487, in run_setup
          super().run_setup(setup_script=setup_script)
        File "C:\Users\jakob\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-5dayfvhi\overlay\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\build_meta.py", line 311, in run_setup
          exec(code, locals())
        File "<string>", line 123, in <module>
        File "<string>", line 27, in get_extensions
      ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I think there might be a different alias or a gloabl interpreter it is referring to but I'm not sure how that is possible. I would appreciate any help. Also Im using VS Code.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Are you sure you're running it from inside your virtual environment?

How are you running it?

If it's through clicking the VS Code buttons you might check that your interpreter there is set correctly.

I'm running it through the virtual environent

\

Activated environment for venv

any other way to ensure?

[brazen cargo]

I'm not sure. Can you do python -m pip list there and see if torch is listed?

it may be py -m pip list too

[warm folio]

it is

[brazen cargo]

Ok. Are you trying to run it from the console (python main.py) or through the VS Code UI?

If they both give you an error then something is probably borked with your venv configuration

[warm folio]

VS Code has a terminal and im using that

[brazen cargo]

fyi py and python might be pointing to two separate executables (not sure how it's setup on your system).

Your virtualenv configuration might be broken though if you're getting errors in the VS Code terminal too. Unfortunately I don't know enough about VS Code to help you fix it.

pk thanks for the help though appreciate it
