🔒 ModuleNotFoundError

I installed libtorrent but I can't import it

note: I'm using python 3.9, libtorrent is in the folder where the python packages are located, when I give python --version 3.9 appears, libtorrent was installed correctly.

However, it still doesn't work when importing it and gives this error:

     import libtorrent as lt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libtorrent'

Are you inside a venv? Where are you running this from?

[valid pike]

I'm running it in my visual studio code folder

py -3.9 test.py

[agile rampart]

from that terminal type py -m pip list

see if libtorrent is listed there

[valid pike]

wait

[agile rampart]

and also make sure VS Code is configured to use the correct interpreter

[valid pike]

just this appeared here

[agile rampart]

type py -0 and show me the output

[agile rampart]

ok

[valid pike]

In vscode it appears that I'm on 3.9

[agile rampart]

So you've got three different versions of Python installed. You probably installed libtorrent to one you're not using

[valid pike]

Is there any way I can uninstall all versions and just have Python 3.9?

[agile rampart]

try py -3.9 -m pip list

[agile rampart]

You could absolutely if that's what you want

so it's installed for 3.9 but not for 3.12

[valid pike]

yes

but the project I'm working on necessarily needs 3.9

How do I uninstall Python 3.12 and 3.11?

and I only use 3.9

[agile rampart]

add/remove programs

Should be listed there

[valid pike]

ok

[agile rampart]

vs code also allows you to create virtual environments for Python: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

I don't use VS Code though so I really can't advise you too much on that.

[valid pike]

Now this error is appearing here even though I have Python 3.9

Python not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage Application Execution Aliases.

[agile rampart]

So VS Code wasn't using 3.9

[valid pike]

but when I use python --version it shows 3.9

[agile rampart]

That's your system python

That's entirely outside of VS Code

hang on

[valid pike]

ok

I created a VENV

[agile rampart]

why

if you hit ctrl+shift+p in VS Code you should be able to select a Python interpreter you want to use

[valid pike]

I was on this website here

[valid pike]

I made it

the error that python was not found keeps appearing

[agile rampart]

Can you show a screenshot of your VS Code window?

[valid pike]

Python not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage Application Execution Aliases.

[valid pike]

now it gives this error
