🔒 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_openapi3' despite being installed

[neat socket]

Hello, I'm trying to run a python project on a linux machine and I am unable to get the dependencies to work correctly, it is specifically complaining about flask_openapi3 even though it is seemingly installed.

Trying to run the python file gives the error (first attachment), and as you can see in (second attatchment) the package is seemingly already installed? I am not sure what I am doing wrong here?

Any help is appriciated ❤️

you have two (or more) installations of python.

You have installed the package in one, and are now trying to use it from another

you need to figure out which one you installed it into, and which one you're trying to use it from

"virtual environments" count as "installations" here.

any idea how I would go about figuring that out?

is the problem that I have a python3 and python3.11 installation?

When i use pip instead of pipx i get this error, is that related?

I can't seem to find any virtual enviornments, and I haven't purposefully created any

I created a virtual env in the project and redid the installation, that seems to work!

• what exactly did you type when you installed the package
• what exactly did you type (or click on) when you tried to run your program, and it failed with that "module not found"

I went through each of the requiements with either pipx install <package> or sudo apt install pythone3-<package> when pipx failed

[sour rock]

ok so I'll guess that python3 and pipx use different installations of python

type type -a python3 and post the output (as text, please, not a screenshot)

I wonder if pipx is the wrong tool to install flask-openapi3 -- in my experience, pipx is only for command-line executables, whereas flask-openapi3 appears to be a framework like flask or django

the "error" from "pip install" isn't really an error, it's an understandble -- but annoying -- choice that Debian made about how pip works on debian systems

let's take a step back. What problem are you trying to solve?

Perhaps you want to build a web site that uses flask-openapi3 and you're setting stuff up ?

[neat socket]

Yeah that is what I am trying to do, sorry for the late reply

it seems to work now after creating a specific virtual env for the project

[sour rock]

I recommend that you sudo apt install python3-venv, then create a virtual environment, install flask-openapi3 into that, and do you work "in" it

ah jinx

[neat socket]

haha yeah thats what I did ^^
