I have installed (Through PIP/The Terminal) GETCH yet python will not recognize it when I tell it to
import getch
I am on a Mac
sudo pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/getch/getch-1.0-python2.tar.gz#md5=586ea0f1f16aa094ff6a30736ba03c50

Downloading getch-1.0-python2.tar.gz
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): getch==1.0 from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/getch/getch-1.0-python2.tar.gz#md5=586ea0f1f16aa094ff6a30736ba03c50 in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
You tagged this question 3.x, but your evidence that getch
is installed clearly indicates it's installed in the site-packages
for 2.7. You also provided pip
an explicit path to a Python 2 tarball.
Installing a package for one version of Python doesn't install it for other versions. Run pip3
to install packages for Python 3 (it may be named pip-3.5
or the like, depending on setup). If pip3
is not installed, python3 -mensurepip
should add it (depending on Python minor version), or you'll have to install it manually. Either way, once you have pip3
, you just need to install the package correctly:
sudo pip3 install getch
